On Tuesday the 29th March, I photographed local churches at Cromane & Killorglin, these photos were taken in the early evening, before dark, I intend to return and photograph them after dark when they will be illuminated by churchyard lighting.

On Thursday evening the club traveled to Waterville to enjoy an evening of photography during the 'Blue Hour'. The challenge was to take long exposure photos of the surf, the long exposures should enable us to
give the water a milky appearance, and I'm glad to say the results shown in my Blog show the I achieved
the requirement. I finished with a few photos of Waterville town at night, and a few light trails of cars for fun, made for a satisfying evening.

This Thursday evening the club met at Barbara's , and then traveled to a location where we were able to take a panoramic set of photographs that would include Puffin Island and the Skellig islands. Six members and two guests were present, and professional Michael instructed all in the best methods to achieve the desired results, my effort is displayed on this Blog, with other members photos displayed on the SK Camera club Blog. My panorama was made up from seven photos stitched together in Photoshop Elements9.
