World Wide Photo Walk – 01/10/2016

wwpw-2016-dbarry-3

Brilliant sunshine greeted us outside the Commodore Hotel in Westbourne Place, Cobh, Co. Cork as we met at 11am to begin our 2016 Scott Kelby World Wide Photo Walk. This was ECCG's third WWPW having held the previous two in Midleton and Youghal in 2014 and 2015 respectively.

Guided by local man Gordon Kinsella who knew all the best shots in the town, we began our walk in the park and then took a circular route taking in most of the town centre as well as Deep Water Quay.

The roof-top of the Commodore Hotel, with its stunning views of the town and harbour, provided a fitting end to this most enjoyable event which we topped off with great food and conversation in the Hotel bar.

As much a social event as a photography event, it was great to meet some new people and catch up with some that we haven't seen in a while. Thanks to Gordon Kinsella, the Commodore Hotel, everyone who joined us on the walk and everyone we met along the way.

Check out the gallery from the event here but check back regularly as the gallery will be added to over the next week or so. Enjoy!

ECCG Blog Reaches the “100” Milestone

100blog

Earlier today, the 100th post on this blog was published, a milestone that seemed very far off in the distance when the idea of a blog for the Group, to bring photography-related news and information to members of the Group and beyond, was mooted back in January of 2013 .

On 1/3/13, the first post about a Group 'food' competition appeared with a view to perhaps, publishing one post per week thereafter, if possible. Less than twelve months later and we have nearly doubled that expectation, which will probably be achieved and exceeded by the time 1/3/14 comes round.

As in any undertaking, its success is down to many. Thanks to all the contributors, all the readers and all who have supported the blog over the past twelve months.

Roll on milestone number 200!!
