On Tuesday, 3rd April our guest speaker for the evening was highly acclaimed Black and white Photographer, William Gleeson, A.R.P.S, A.I.P.F., P.P.S.A., A.F.I.A.P. from Tipperary.

Despite a delay at the start of our meeting due to a technical glitch, the ensuing slideshow and presentation were worth waiting for. One couldn’t hear a pin drop as images moved from landscape to seascapes to portraits. William spoke and gave an account on every image and it was easy to see how his images have been accepted in many International exhibitions earning him three Gold medals to date.

We were then treated to a look into Glenstall Abbey and the story of how he came to
capture such amazing images there. William explained his printing methods to the group which was also of great interest. Having viewed the images on screen we were then able to view the original images which he had brought along for us to see.

An excellent and enjoyable evening was had by all.
