Ballycroneen sunset – 26/02/2017

Posted on by

Bad weather forced postponement of our planned shoot to Fota Wildlife Park on 26th February. However, with the forecast showing a break in the weather in the late afternoon, Ballycroneen was selected as the location for a sunset shoot.

While the group have visited this location for sunrise regularly in recent years, this was our first sunset shoot at this location in a while, and 10 members of the group turned out.

With high tide at 5:30pm and sunset at 6:10pm, conditions were ideal with good colour in the sky, and the large swell left by Storm Ewan gave plenty of wave action. 

Check out our gallery of images from the shoot here.

Ballybrannigan Sunrise Shoot – 05/02/2017

Posted on by

Our 5th shoot of the year took ECCG members to Ballybrannigan beach in East Cork for sunrise on 5th of February.

From our meeting point at the Midleton Park Hotel, we headed for Ballybrannigan beach at 7am and in total 8 of our group turned out. With the sun rising over the sea through hazy low lying cloud, combined with plenty of surf, conditions were ideal.

There is lots of scope at this location from sandy beach to rocky foreground.

Check out our gallery of images from the shoot. Enjoy!

On Sunday morning the 8th of Jan, the East Cork Camera Group went on its first shoot of 2017 to Ballycroneen with the intention of shooting the sunrise. Unfortunately, it was not to be because of thick fog. We were then faced with a challenge to try to get some good pictures of this beautiful location, but we will have to return some morning soon for the sunrise.

Check out the gallery of images from the shoot here. Enjoy!

Peter Cox speaks to ECCG

Posted on by

Peter CoxEast Cork Camera Group were honoured indeed to have renowned Irish Landscape Photographer, Peter Cox, in attendance at our latest meeting at The Midleton Park Hotel on Tuesday 3/5/16.

Based in Ballingeary, Co. Cork, Peter is one of the most successful photographers in the country running workshops all over the world while his work has been exhibited at home and abroad as well being featured on national and international television.

Peter is a Fellow of the Irish Professional Photographers’ Association (IPPA) and has received a Qualified European Photographer award from the Federation of European Photographers. His retail gallery at 4, High Street, Killarney, Co. Kerry, is a veritable photographic treasure trove featuring magnificent prints and is really worth a visit.

the irish lightAlso in the gallery can be found Peter's two self-published photography books, The Irish Light and Atlantic Light, both of which were successfully funded on Kickstarter.

The Irish Light is a beautiful, hard-covered, coffee table book of 128 pages which includes ninety of Peter's best photographs from 2005-2012.

atlantic lightAtlantic Light is a collection of aerial photographs of the Wild Atlantic Way - Ireland's west coast. The first of its kind, the images were made from a combination of helicopters, aeroplanes and drones.

Both books are beautifully produced and really are a must-have for everyone's bookshelf.

Peter's talk to the Group was first class covering mainly Composition, Light and the Technical aspects of his photography which was music to the ears of all in attendance who could have listened for the night but, as we had to let him back to Ballingeary at a reasonable hour, his talk had to end but not before many questions were answered and several books personally signed.

Many thanks to Peter for making the journey to Midleton and for a really enjoyable talk.

Roches Point Lighthouse Shoot – 24/04/2016

Posted on by

Roches Pt 24-04-16 FOShea-2

For the second week in succession, an ECCG shoot has focused on a lighthouse. We travelled to Galley Head last week but this week we were much nearer to home at Roches Point at the entrance to Cork harbour.

Always a favourite spot for the group, Roches Point never fails to yield a decent photograph regardless of weather conditions. It was overcast on our recent visit with the clouds parting just enough in the west to give a hope of some bit of colour at sunset. Nevertheless, a private tour of a lighthouse will always bait the photographer so there was keen interest in this shoot.

Having exhausted the interior, we braved the cold and headed outside to the beach for the 'blue hour'.

This was a really great and enjoyable shoot, right on our doorsteps. Thanks to all who made it possible.

See a gallery of images from the shoot here. Enjoy!
