A very enjoyable and informative evening, with some fantastic photography on display.

Thanks again to Mike for taking the time to visit us and share his work and experience.

Aerial & Drone Photography with Mike Pilkington πŸ“·
This Tuesday, 6th October, we’re delighted to welcome Mike Pilkington of Malahide Camera Club to Dublin Camera Club for an evening of Aerial & Drone Photography.

Mike’s main interest is adventure travel photography, and he has travelled and photographed across six continents, including several trips to the High Arctic. His photography takes him to remote locations and often extreme conditions.

Mike doesn’t publish his work online or on social media, so this is a great opportunity to see a selection of his aerial and drone portfolio and hear about the locations and experiences behind the images.

DCC Annual Club Trip – The Lake District πŸ“·

This year, eight members of Dublin Camera Club travelled to the Lake District for our annual club photography trip.
We spent three nights based at The Pheasant Inn, Bassenthwaite, exploring some of the fantastic locations around the Lakes.

We were very lucky with the weather too, with just one early morning of rain over the trip. It was a great few days of photography, good company and plenty of time spent exploring the landscape with our cameras.

A big thank you to Stuart and Richard at The Pheasant Inn, Bassenthwaite for looking after us so well during our stay and making the group feel very welcome.

Thanks also to everyone who travelled and helped make it such an enjoyable trip. We’ll share a selection of images from the Lake District over the coming days.
