Photo Sale Exhibition Caherdaniel in aid of CRBI

We are having another photo sale in Caherdaniel at the October Bank Holiday weekend. The members of the club kindly submitted their best photos for the sales exhibition in Caherdaniel Community Centre. The exhibition opens Saturday 11am to 5 pm and for the same time on Sunday and Monday.
There will be calendar for 2015 in A4 and A3 size for sale too.
Please come along and make this as successful as last years event where we collected over €1500 in aid of the Derrynane RNLI Inshore Rescue Group.

Message from Derrynane Inshore Rescue Team

Dear Michael and Friends,
I would like to take this 
opportunity on behalf of the Derrynane Inshore Rescue Team (CRBI) to 
thank you and your friends for the wonderful Photographic Exhibition in 
Caerdaniel.  It was a wonderful success and to date has raised 2,280 
euros ( there are a few, though not many accounts to come in), from the 
sale of the pictures alone.  Donations and the auction of Vincent 
Hyland's picture of the Skellig came to 360 euros, bringing the grand 
total to 2,640 euros so far.
 We as a unit have been hit quite hard by the recession with government cut backs etc, and units like ours cost a lot of money to keep equipment up to scratch for the safety of the general public whom we try to serve and indeed the safety of of crew members.
We are very appreciative of people like yourselves who step in 
and give us a much needed hand towards running costs.

The money from the exhibition will go towards two new dry suits and a lifejacket, this comes in the region of 1,800 euros inc VAT. This new equipment would otherwise have had to be put on the long finger till funds came 
available.
So from myself as Chairperson and Launching Authority and 
all the rest of the Committee and Crew you have our heartfelt 
thanks.
We hope that with the success of the Exhibition this year ,you 
would consider making this an annual event.
We were delighted to help 
and it was great fun and interesting and it certainly helped make the 
Bank Holiday a very successful weekend in Caherdaniel,
Many thanks 
again,
Regards,
Helen Wilson
Chairperson

Photo Sale Exhibition Caherdaniel in Aid of Derrynane Inshore Rescue

Between the two landscape photos that I took today on my way to Caherdaniel and coming home in Waterville is a photograph of two hands with money.
This photo means a lot to me and I´m sure to everybody who had an involvment in the exhibition over the Bank holiday weekend in the Community hall Caherdaniel.

After closing the exhibition we raised over 2000€ from photo sales from the South Kerry Camera Club, and about 600 € from a donation box and a photo auction by Vincent Hyland, who donated a Skellig aerial view for the exhibition. 2600€ is a great success and I like to thank all that helped making it a great event for a great cause.
The sea is one of the worlds most popular subject for photography but it can be dangerous too. May the money we raised over the weekend help to support those who look after our well beeing .

We are back in 2014

Derrynane Inshore Rescue would like to say a huge "thank you" to everybody in South Kerry Camera club for holding the photo exhibition/sale in aid of Derrynane Inshore Rescue last weekend. This exhibition/sale was a huge success and raised roughly €2000. This is a difficult time for fundraising and raising €2000 over one weekend is a fantastic achievement. This money will be put to good use in buying equipment etc. Again thank you and well done to everybody.

Autumn Colours Derrynane Park

This time of the year is the perfect moment for those colourful autumn leaves that you find in the parks in Kerry. The photos above were taken in Derrynane National Park, part of the Daniel O´Connell estate and open to the public every day for free. Look for clour and shoot the leaves agains the light for more saturation. The Japanes Maple is in particular nice and right below are some mushrooms. A macro lens helps to get closer. All photos Canon 5d and 50mm macro.©Michael Herrmann 2012
