Would be great to see this happen soon... Are we going for the practical talks or theory or both?

I'd certainly be interested. The first one was great.

1 with maybe a sprinkling of 2 above would be my preference.

Subjects that would interest me;

For 1

1 Flash
2 Printing (maybe framing also)
3 Portraiture
4 Post Processing

and for 2

1. Ways of Seeing
2. Atmosphere and how to create it

Posted above

I probably add to that

Has anyone put their hand up to be the organiser of this seminar?

If not do we have a volunteer/s?

Covey · 28-01-2009 3:37pm

Not sure you need an organiser as such.

Sebzy has offered a place to hold it (if he can't I probably can). It's then up to people volunteering to give a talk/demo on something and people to show up.

What a Brilliant Idea, I'd Love to attend

This is probably suited to the more experienced members but if there was a basics/medium skills seminar at any stage i'd be very interested.

Not so, my skills would be basic/medium and I found the last one very interesting.

ThOnda · 13-02-2009 12:25am

Are we still for the seminar?

If you are interested or if you know somebody who could give a lecture on any of above mentioned topics, please, write it here and we will se what is possible to get (lectures) and what would be the response and demand for such lectures.

Thank you.

I think Tommie has already nabbed Stephen Crozier (stcstc) for a talk on printing

Covey · 13-02-2009 11:11am

One down, need another 4-5, any topic relevant to photography.

Volunteers ......

ThOnda · 13-02-2009 1:17pm

Some "demonstration" of "Difference between nude and portrait" would be appreciated

sNarah · 13-02-2009 3:45pm

We had a very interesting lecture in the Drogheda Club about underwater photography, not sure if it would be suitable but I found it very impressive.

The photograher is Nigel Motyer, he's been published in NatGeo (Yeahyeah, I know :rolleyes:) and is one of the most "renowded" photographers when it comes to underwater...

Can't find much of his work online... If googled there s a few results so maybe check them out!

Just a suggestion!

ThOnda · 13-02-2009 3:58pm

Does somebody know the Irish photographer who won World Press Photo 2009 in Sports category? (Paul Mohan) He could attract quite a lot of attention too.

I'd give my right arm for that ..

We had Podge Kelly at DCC last night. He was doing some judging for us.

At the end of the meeting I put on my Boards Hat (Nice Tweedy one with a Feather

) and mentioned that there there was this Seminar being planned & would he be willing to give a talk. He said he would try to do so if he could, depending on when it is happening.

I have his card in my wallet, so when we have a date & if we would like him to present I can make contact.

Covey · 18-02-2009 11:47am

Who is Podge Kelly ( does he have a brother called Rodge ?) and what does he do

CabanSail · 18-02-2009 12:26pm

Google is you friend

Podge Kelly

From his Website.

He has made three television series on
photography. The first was titled "What
A Picture" and "What A Digital Picture"
was the second. His third and most recent
is "In Focus". He created, wrote and
presented all three shows. There are
twenty programmes in the first series,
covering photography from the history of
Its inception to the present day techniques.
The second series, as the name suggests,
covers the techniques of Digital Photography
in ten half-hour shows, and the third is a mix
of both film and then digital. The first two
shows have been repeated due to popular
demand. All shows are shown on RTE 1,
the national television station.
