Day 1 of the beginners' course was held on Sunday morning, 2/3/14 lead by Kevin Day and Denis Barry. An hour and a half's classroom work (due to rain!) was followed by another hour and a half shooting by the Dungourney river and Council grounds.

Laura and Loki
As soon as the rain stopped, people took the chance to walk the dogs and get some exercise. West Highland White Terrier, Loki, was full of energy as he bounded about the park with his owner, Laura. He did manage to contain his excitement for a brief moment, however, when asked for a photo!
Fiona and Mary were also taking a breath of fresh air in the park and were particularly impressed by the ornate doorway of the Council building.
The park provided some great opportunities for photography. The river, stonework, old buildings and gnarled trees were turned into great images by the members.
Thanks to all who attended and to Laura, Fiona and Mary (and Loki of course!) for allowing us to photograph and publish their images.
