rymus

I fancy a spin.. bit short notice i know. anyone fancy heading to the burren?

or better still, can anyone suggest anything interesting to see in limerick?

CrowdedHouse

Not today but good shooting,the lads expedition to Trim seems to have been good craic

The day is clouding over seriously- I was hoping to try some Velvia 50 today to see what they're all raving about

just found out I dont have as much time to play with today than I thought I did. Oh well, have to go local.

Any hope we can turn this thread into an "organise an event for munster people" kinda thing? Or should I put it this way, who around the Cork/Kerry/Clare/Limerick/Waterford/Tip region would be interested in meeting up for a days shooting in 2/3 weeks time?

Fajitas!

You could go along the coast to Waterford/Dunmore? Even Hook Head?

Kerry here, could be interesting.. Wouldn't mind to see where this goes. :thumbup:

Valentia

I know it's a bit away (time & distance) but I'll be down on Valentia island from 15th July to 5th August if anyone is interested. Could take in the Skelligs. Now they are worth a trip if the bloody bird flew doesn't close them.

Fajitas!

Well, I'm based in Waterford all summer, so I'd be up for it.

Dimy

And I'm planning to go on a camping trip this summer out in the west, so I'm interested as well

yeah the Burren is beautiful, got to get the weather tho!

i've been in the area before and it can be just fog for days on end, pretty miserable then.
I was in the Aillwee caves there too, didn't have a camera at the time, can't remember if they allow photography there or not! but some great material there.

Tipperary based here so I'd be on for going to someplace in within a reasonable distance. Will be in Clare early July, i'm thinking of going to the Aran Islands if the weather is good.

I went out past Oughterard to Lough Corrib and then back by Ross Lake today and got some great photos. Pity the weather is turning crap now. :[

As a Kerry/Limerick based person I would def be up for something in the Munster region! There are a couple of us Munster Flickrites who meet up already and im sure the lads would join in if we are low in numbers. Im away next weekend at a conference but any other time I would def be up for a photo adventure.

count me in!

I think the burren is a great place to go when it's cloudy.
The landscape gets very dramatic.
An example photo from last year:

Would be interested in meeting up with a munster group for a hook head expidition or the likes, I'm waterford based.

Any more thoughts on this? im bored in the airport and just wondering if any1 is still up for this and if we can come up with a plan?

rymus

Im formulating and postulating in my free time. I expect to have and post something in the coming days. We're probably talking a Saturday in the next two /three weeks. Of course I'll throw it wide open to approval from anyone that expresses an interest in coming along.

Fajitas!

Sounds like fun!

Dundhoone

Bump!

Bad weather lately but is this photo meet going to happen?

rymus

I was gonna say this weekend, possibly Bunratty Castle. Not too sure what the weather is going to do (given that this is almost the worst May on record) or what the photography policy is around Bunratty castle & park.

If not this weekend (and I'm away the following weekend), lets aim for the next weekend... Which would be err.. Saturday the 10th June. Hopefully the rain will have stopped by then

Fajitas!

If it would be of any interest, Spraoi is on on the August bank holiday weekend in Waterford. There'll be street acts, bands playing on different streets, a parade and all that kind of thing. Should be some interesting shots over the weekend, and some good nights on the tear too. It's always good fun.

EDIT: http://www.spraoi.com/ Check it!

If it's mid-week I can take three Waterford heads and myself. If it's the weekend I'm out. Look on the bright side though, the weather can't get worse, can it?
The Clare Glens would be a smashing place to visit. Not too far from Lmerick. The Spraoi is probably the best thing to happen to Ireland every year, I did the official snaps for it about five or six years ago, got some great stuff

I was heading in the Kerry direction this weekend, home to visit the folks and all, but if a meet is going ahead I would come back for it. I wouldnt be too pushed about the Clare Glens though, been there a few times recently and never got much. Of course if people fancy heading to the Kingdom this wkend, all the better
