SACC Printed & Projected Images

On Sunday 6th December the SACC (Southern Association of Camera Clubs) round of the National Printed and Projected Images Competition was held in Clonmel. This was the first year that I was placed in the Open section of the competition (as opposed to the Intermediate). In the Projected Images section I came in third. OK, not earth shattering but nice to get some recognition.

This was the image that took third.

Out of the 9 images I submitted 7 are going forward to the finals and the club had 18 out of 30 passed on to the National Final in February. Fingers crossed again.

Film Photography

"I'll never take up film photography"

It's funny how statements from the past come back to haunt you. I gave this statement about 18 months ago on Photography Ireland and got a few retorts that put me back in my box. It was an innocent statement but one I wholeheartedly believed in.

18 months later and I've put Ebay under stress as well as the bank balance. To date I've received a Nikon FG that I had given to my father over 20 years ago as he has "a digital camera and won't ever use film again"...some trends go up generations too.

So I've bought 4 film cameras...not content with 1.

The Brick (Argus C3 Matchmatic):

A "Zero Image" MF pinhole (6x6)

A Holga 120N

And on its way in time for Christmas is a Hasselbladski, aka a Kiev 88CM MLU

So, happy days!!
