Gather together like minded people
- Westport and the west of Ireland present so many varied and beautiful scenes for photographers to capture, and there is certainly no shortage of people interested in photography around here, Tom is opening up his café bar to all people interested in photography to come and share knowledge, tips and even organise some days out shooting in beautiful locations.
Learn and/or revisit the basics of photography
- Practice taking photos to learn how to use the camera, and learn new skills and techniques by sharing with each other. Let's get together to pool knowledge about local spots and help each other out when it comes to our craft. Maybe we can organise some group photo assignments too.
Car Pool and save money visiting different locations
- We can organise days out and share the cost of fuel, this is less damaging to the planet and means we can have a bit of craic too, share knowledge (and equipment, such as tripods, filters and get to see how different brands perform too).
Organise some charity exhibitions of our work
- We could link in with Westival or other art initiatives and even look at funding to raise awareness of certain issues (as decided upon during the group meetings), and organise our own exhibitions, I've loads of ideas and I would LOVE to hear yours too! let's create positive change together!
Learn new skills in shooting, digital darkroom and printing
- We can pool knowledge of different software programs and aim to lift up each other's work, we can look at film, different camera brands, equipment and all sorts, the world is our oyster! Let's get together and enjoy some time in the like-minded company of fellow camera clickers!
