Saturday afternoon Outing

As part of the club diversification policy for new photography and ideas we are looking to getting out as a club tomorrow afternoon Saturday the 18th at 14.00 hours – this is instead of Monday Night.
As assistant Chairman Mr David Wolahan is looking forward to meeting the troops and delivering a good afternoon out for the club.

We are looking forward to seeing the results.
Remember we are looking for new members so ask your friends and bring them along ….

Morning Photography Nature walk led by John McIntyre. This marks the beginning of a series of weekly photography nature walks, providing a great opportunity to capture the beauty of the outdoors.
Meet at St. Catherine’s Park, Lucan at 9:15am.

Early Morning Photography Nature Walk to photograph Bluebells
2025-04-23 10:00 - 12:00 | Killinthomas Wood, Charleville Demesne, Co. Kildare, 6XRQ 2QJ, Ireland
Wednesday is Bluebell day, so the walk has been changed to Killinthomas Wood near Rathangan.
Pin 53.2341905, -7.0091078
Forecast is for dry weather with some low clouds, which will diffuse the light for us. Assemble at Killinthomas at about 10am.
Then, if time permits, we will go to Moore Abbey, near Monasterevin. Pin 53.130454, -7.048621.

Early Morning Photography Nature Walk - Lucan Demesne
2025-05-02 06:00 - 08:00 | Lucan Demesne, Lucan, Dublin, Ireland
Led by Shea Kavanagh, this is a great chance to refine your nature photography skills.
The early morning nature walk this week will be on Friday May 2nd in St. Catherine’s Park / Lucan Demesne. We will meet up at the Lucan entrance at 6.00am.
For those who find 6.00am a little early, they will find us in and around the weir area, which is about a 10 minute walk from the entrance up to 7.15 am.
There should be plenty to interest everyone with the flora and fauna along the Liffey bank and further on into the Woodland Walk on the St. Catherine’s side. For the early risers, we hope to enjoy the “tail end” of the Dawn Chorus and maybe catch sight and sound of some of the 30 varieties of birds that inhabit the park.
This entrance to the park is at the left hand side, at the bottom of the slip road off the N4 to Lucan. There’s major construction works being carried out at the moment in the old car park at this entrance, but there’s still pedestrian access. Parking is a bit restricted, so I would recommend car pooling, if possible. There is a new small car park opposite the T junction at the bottom of the slip road. Or if you turn right at the T junction and drive under the N4 flyover there are street parking spaces, on the left hand side just before a Bus stop.
I would suggest you bring multiple lenses, if possible, wide-angle /macro for the flora / fauna and landscape, along with a tripod. But telephoto for the birds and wildlife.
Looking forward to a great mornings photography.
Meeting point is: https://maps.app.goo.gl/F6ECdWWC6zvm6L9e8
