Renard beach, Caherciveen

Spent a lovely evening at Renard taking detail shots. Cannon 7D. There was some beautiful shells to be found.

The light was a bit difficult to take landscape pictures, however there a many things at a beach worthwhile to be photographed.

A little camera shy! our guide for the evening!

Not so shy when she doesn't know it's being taken!...lol

Group photo of members attending

These were taken on my way home at Cahersiveen and Kells!

The location this evening had the members putting on their thinking caps! The sun was full in our faces, so taking landscape photos from the beach would not have produced good results, this lead to everyone having to scout out photos on the beach!
