Exhibition "Mountains and Hills" at Tech Amergin

The pictures were taken in Southwest Kerry, mostly in the Valentia Island area but also on the Dingle peninsula and in the lake Caragh area between Caherciveen and Killorglin. The camera used was an Olympus E 520 with Zuiko Digital 14-42, 40-150 and 50-200 mm lenses. Most pictures were shown as part of the South Kerry Camera Club exhibition in February 2012 at the Tech Amergin Centre, Waterville, County Kerry.

Mountains and Hills Exhibition

Some of these photos, mostly black and white, are hanging in an exhibition right now in Tech Amergin, Waterville. "Mountains and Hills" is the title of our South Kerry Camera Clubs recent exhibition, which was opened during Eigse na Brideoige in early February. This year´s theme of this annual festival, the twentieth by the way, was the Mountains and Hills of Iveragh, the life of the hill farmers, the possibilities for tourism and of course their breathtaking beauty. I hope other members of South Kerry Camera club will post their photos as well and we might get a collection together later.

Mountains in South Kerry - a start

South Kerry Camera Clubs next exhibition is upon us and because I did not really take any new photos of Mountains I checked my "archive" and changed a few photos I took
in late November at Waterville Lake into black/white and gave them all a square format.
I don´t know is it exhibition material, if the weather wasn´t so ...awful I´d go out and take new mountain photos,
not as high up as Cnoc na d´Tobar though.

Michael went up Cnoc na dTobar on the one nice day in a while to get a few new photos maybe for the forthcoming exhibition in Tech Amergin in February. They are on his blog if you want to see them.

Bob Ellis - "House on Fire" photography project at Tech Amergin, Waterville

Bob Ellis-American photographer

American phographer Bob Ellis presented his very interesting portrait photograph project at Teach Amergin wednesday last. The theme of the project was if your "House was on fire" and you had two minutes to run in and get something what would it be. Mobile phones seemed to be the most common object including hard drives as People and pets were ommitted.

All his portraits were taken with natural light and only two in this series was taken with digital. Very interesting night and Bob wishes to return to do a workshop in Teach Amergin so anyone interested should enquire about it.
