Ballyannan Wood Shoot – 4/5/14

ECCG Group at Ballyannan Wood

A damp morning greeted the members when we met at the Midleton Park Hotel this morning. Keeping an eye on the weather over the weekend to see if the shoot could go on, we decided in the end to ‘go for it’ as we had been rained off so many times already this year. We were glad we did.

The wood, just on the edge of Midleton town, was a treasure trove of plants, trees and graphic shapes and the bluebell crop was in full bloom adding a vivid vitality to the scene. The damp weather had lent its own unique spice to the landscape leaving delicate drops of moisture on the flowers and leaves. Along with the woodland, the estuary shore added another dimension with old boathouses, graffiti and beached timber among the photographic subjects.

Sunset Shoot at Lough Aderra 6/4/14

Denis Barry-1

Having been rained off of our intended sunrise shoot at Ballycotton on Saturday morning 5/4/14, a forecast of a possible sunset on the following evening soon had our focus shifted and plans were hastily changed. With sunset due at around 8.15pm, the car park at the boat moorings on the shore of Lough Aderra near Castlemartyr, resembled a scene from Photofest with tripods and gear seemingly appearing out of nowhere as the light began to die.

The large group meant that vantage points for the ‘best’ angles were at a premium, so much so that one member’s boots proved too short for the depth of water but, undeterred, squelched on long after sunset. As the sun dipped below the horizon, torches were broken out for some light painting on the moorings which proved to be an ad hoc class in this unusual genre.
