On Sunday 22/3/14, myself and Finbarr O’Shea headed for Kilkenny for the Inter-Club competition run by Southern Association of Camera Clubs (SACC ).

There were sixteen clubs represented and the standard was very high. Each club could enter panels of ten prints in the colour and black competition and ten digital colour or black and white images in the projected competition. The prints were arranged in a certain format to form a panel while the digital images were projected in the sequence selected by the entrant. ECCG entered just one panel in the projected competition to ‘dip our toes’ in the water this time and we intend to enter the National Inter-Club Competition next May. On the day, the Cork Camera Club was the overall winner.

The SACC said they will bring UK photographer Tim Pile over this year for a series of talks to the various clubs. They also organise the ‘Celtic Challenge’ which will be to Spike Island and Gougane Barra this year.

When the work was done, we got out the cameras and headed for the Castle in the city center. On the way we stopped at St. Kieran’s College, where we got some great shots. We arrived at the river on time for a nice sunset.

We were very lucky with the day, blue skies, sunshine and the water was like glass!
