The location will be the start of the <b>Benbulben Forest Walk</b>, which is signposted to the right off the main N15 road from Sligo to Letterkenny, a few miles north of Drumcliffe.<br /><br />This
location gives superb views of the <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">north-western</span> face of Benbulben, and the
best time to take photographs should be shortly before sunset <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">when hopefully</span> the sun <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">will </span>cast light and shadow over the mountain. Sunset should be at 8:52pm -
so members will be <b>meeting at the Benbulben Forest Walk car park around 8:00pm</b>.</span><br />

This is the large car parking area behind the main Bus Eireann bus
station in Ballyshannon, beside Slevin's Department Store. If you are
travelling to Ballyshannon from the south along the N15, after you
cross the bridge into town, take the<b> first right</b> (just before Slevin's (also on your right) and you will enter the car park area.</span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><b> </b></span></span></span><br />

evening, Sunday 22 June 2014.</span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;"><b> </b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;"><b>Don't worry! We're not going to have to walk up the mountain, as there is a road that we can drive up in our cars</b>.</span></span>
<br />
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is the highest point in both County Sligo and Leitrim, so hopefully there will be some good views to photograph.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #274e13;">DIRECTIONS</span></b><br /><br />The
start point for the drive is in the road known as the Gleniff
Horseshoe, and is the gated entrance to the RTE access road to their
masts on the summit of Truskmore. This is only a few miles from
Ballintrillick and the Benwisken Centre. <br />
<br />In-car <b>satnav coordinate</b>s for the access gate are (a) N 54deg 22min 10.03sec; W 8deg 23min 41.13sec or (b) N54.369453; W8.394758<br /><br /><b>Please arrive by 8:00pm. Once we pass through the gates we must lock them behind us. So expect the gates to be locked by 8:00pm.</b><br />
<br />Although the forecast is for dry weather, you would be advised to bring waterproofs in the car, just in case. Also be aware that it may be quite windy on top, so bring warm clothes with you. If you have a tripod bring this as well.<br /><br />If you have any queries you can ring Marty on his mobile: 086 1068089.<br />
<br />Hoping to see as many of you as possible.</span><br />

and members can car-share from there to Castle Caldwell Forest (where
there should be great opportunity to photograph the bluebells).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">For any members who will be travelling direct to Florencecourt House, the plan is to arrive there at 3:00pm. </span>If you drive in through the main gate (or even walk in through it) there is a <b>charge </b>of £6 per adult. <b>However</b>,
if you drive past the main gate (on your right) there is another locked
gate about 40 meters or so further on, also on the right.There is a
stile beside this locked gate that you can climb over and walk up to the
house for free. The walk takes about 5 to 10 minutes and leads through
the woods where there are a lot of photo opportunities.<br /><br />Some links:-<br /><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en-GB&q=http://www.marblearchcavesgeopark.com/attraction/castle-caldwell-forest/&source=gmail&ust=1463245004296000&usg=AFQjCNFMBkwMijFE0c6Sa-JkGJQBjJUIZA" href="http://www.marblearchcavesgeopark.com/attraction/castle-caldwell-forest/" target="_blank">castle-caldwell-forest</a><br /><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en-GB&q=http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/florence-court&source=gmail&ust=1463245004296000&usg=AFQjCNENMw16pY50E0UaEVpRd2iHoeSdcg" href="http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/florence-court" target="_blank">http://www.nationaltrust.org.<wbr></wbr>uk/florence-court</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b> April </b>Street Photography<br /><b> May </b>The Colour Red<br /><b> June </b>Panoramas<br /><b> July </b>Black & White<br /> (<b>August </b>No meeting)<br /><b> September </b>Rain<br /><b> October </b>Landscape<br /><b> November </b>Repetition<br /><b> December </b>Wildlife</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Please note that it was decided at our February meeting that </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">every third month (starting in March) we shall encourage members to <b>print </b>one of their
submissions in the motivation at a size of 12 by 8
inches - and that on every other third month (starting in April) we shall
encourage members to include ONE <b>Black & White</b> image in their
submissions. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This effectively mean that a <b>print </b>will now be expected in May (not June, as it would be impossible to print a panorama at 12 by 8 inches), September, and December, and one <b>Black & White</b> submission in April, June (not July, as the theme for that month is already Black & White) and November. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So the following is the schedule for the rest of 2016:- </span><br />
<br />

arranged for this coming Sunday (14 February) in Sligo town. Members
should meet by 11:30am (at the latest) in the lower car park, near the
Model Arts Gallery on The Mall (directions at the bottom of this email).
We shall initially be attempting some Street Photography. The nature of
this is such that you should not really need a tripod, but if you have
one bring it with you if you wish. If time allows we may head out<span class="text_exposed_show"> to somewhere like Mullaghmore in the afternoon.</span></span><br />

Meet (by 11:30am at the latest) in the lower car park, near the Model
Arts Gallery on The Mall. The entrance to this is directly opposite the
red-fronted "O'Neills Bar" (which is next to the green-fronted "Leitrim
Bar"). The Mall at this point is one-way, heading out of town in the
Manorhamilton direction. If you are coming from the Manorhamilton side
travel down past Sligo General Hospital (do NOT make the right turn at
the traffic lights before the hospital) and you will be directed to the
right up a hill just before the entrance to Sligo Grammar School. Bear
left at the top of this hill and I think you will then be on
Connaughton Road - but the upper car park will be on your left. You can
drive down to the lower car park from the upper one.</span></span><br />

January club meeting.<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sorry for the very late notice, but just to let everyone know that, due to a "Status Orange" snow and ice
warning from Met Eireann for counties Donegal, Leitrim, Mayo and Sligo -
with possible snow accumulations of 4 to 8cm, and overnight temperatures to
drop below zero - a decision has been made to cancel tonight's club
meeting.<br /><br /> Hopefully the weather will improve before the February meeting.<br /><br />The <b>Open themed motivational</b> slideshow due to be shown tonight will be held over till the February meeting. The theme for this month is <b>Doors/Doorways</b>.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Here's hoping club members have
all enjoyed the summer (what little of it there was) and have managed to
get out with their cameras and got some worthwhile shots.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Just a reminder that the <b>next club
meeting</b> will be on Thursday 10th of September, and the motivational theme
is "<b><i>Macro Photography</i></b>". </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">
The <b><span style="color: red;">Print Battle</span></b> between Rainbow Camera
club and North West Camera Club (Ballyshannon) is scheduled to take place in
<span style="color: red;"><b>October</b></span>. Basically it will involve each club producing nine A3 prints from
their members' photographs, one from each of nine different themes, and then
getting in an independent judge to choose the winner in each of the individual
categories. The winning club would be the one with the highest number of
winning images.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The nine
themes chosen were:</span></span></div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Wildlife</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Macro Photography</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Sport</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Reflections</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Decay</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Street Photography</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Contradiction</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Circles (the shape)</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Open</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">So we have between now and
sometime in October to get our nine images chosen and printed. As they have to
be printed at <b><span style="color: red;">A3</span></b> size, they need to be <b><span style="color: red;">high quality images</span></b>. <br />
<br />
At our September meeting we will put some time aside to discuss this.<br />
<br />
Three of the themes happen to have been our motivational themes this year: <b><i>Wildlife</i></b>,
<b><i>Reflections, </i></b>and <b><i>Macro Photography</i></b> - which may be
of help for us choosing images. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">If members have any images that they
think may be suitable for any of the categories feel free to either email them
to the normal club address, or bring them on a memory stick (or memory card) to
the September meeting. In the meantime the submissions for the various monthly
motivations will be examined by the committee and a list will be put together
of possible suggestions for the various categories. These will be shown and be discussed at the
September meeting.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hopefully
we can choose an image for each of the nine categories at the meeting, so that
they can be printed before the October meeting.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br />
The club will of course arrange for the images to be printed, and cover the
cost from club funds, once they have been selected.</span></span></div>

our next meeting (September, as we do not have a monthly meeting in
August) is <b>Macro Photography</b>. <br /><br />At this month's club
meeting it was decided that we should try to arrange the photoshoot for
this month around this theme. <span style="background-color: white;">Accordingly our usual meeting place of <i>The Cabin</i>
in Rossinver has now been booked from 7:30pm to 10:00pm for next
Wednesday (15th July) for a session in which members can find out what
is meant by (and try their hands at) macro photography. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Club member Padraig Thornton
says he will bring his dedicated Canon macro lens with him, and has
kindly offered to allow those members with a Canon camera to try this lens on
their cameras if they wish; and member Marty Cooke will have his 105mm Nikon macro lens with him and is happy to give those members who shoot with a Nikon the
opportunity to try this out on their cameras.<br /><br />We will also
look at ways in which it may be possible to shoot macro type photographs
if you do not have a macro lens, or do not have a camera on which you can
change the lens.<br /><br />If the evening is fine we may be able to
get some macro shots of flowers or insects outside The Cabin. If not we
shall work indoors.<br /><br />As well having your camera with you,
bring along a tripod if you have one. And if you have any small objects
that you think may be suitable subjects for macro photography bring
those with you as well.<br /><br />Hoping to see as as many of you as possible on the night.</span>RainbowCameraClubhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00003204961620946721noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531077557636719396.post-50940576543966551592015-06-08T11:35:00.001+01:002015-06-08T11:35:53.258+01:00June Club Meeting<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Just a reminder that the<span style="color: red;"> June meeting</span> of Rainbow Camera Club will be on Thursday, 11 June 2015, from 8:00pm to 10:00pm in our usual meeting place of <i>The Cabin</i>, Rossinver, Co Leitrim (next to the football field). <b>New members are always welcome</b>.<br /><br />Also a reminder that the <span style="color: red;">motivational theme</span> for this month's meeting is <i><b>High Speed Photography</b></i> (<i>shutter speed one-thousandth of a second or faster</i>).
