biko · 2010-04-21 18:55:48

Welcome to the Galway Summer Thread! We've decided to try a thread for everyone looking for things to do: tourists, students, stags, hens or just people wanting to promote a cool event. There is already an almighty thread here with tons of suggestions of activities but this thread is for summer only, the other is general…

091 Labs will be hosting a city photowalk and digital processing talk on Saturday September 11. Come along, meet other photographers in the morning and listen to talks about photography in the afternoon. Anyone interested is invited to come and talk to us about any aspect of photography: Share a processing tip or even relate an interesting anecdote.

Full details can be found on photowalk.ie, but in short:

There is a suggested donation of ten euros to 091 Labs. This will go toward helping pay their monthly bills.

Our rough plan for the day is:
10am:We meet up at either Eyre Squre, or at the 091 Labs workspace. The workspace is next door to and across the road from (respectively), both of Galway's bus (and train) terminals.

10:30am-2pm: The motley crew of photographer proceeds around the beautiful centre of this medieval city, dodging Saturday shoppers as they pursue the sublime, perfect photograph, and then down onto the bay for landscape/beach/portrait shots.

2pm: Back to 091 Labs for lunch. We have plenty of choice in the area from Centra and fast food all the way up to rather good restaurants.

3pm-6pm: For the rest of the evening we hold a series of talks/workshops on photography and photography topics.

Anything related to photography is welcome in these talks! Share your business tips, your shooting advice, your processing workflow, or even amusing rant, for between ten and thirty minutes. If you are so interested in speaking on the evening please contact me.

Managed to work for me. Looks like they are 10 weeks on average costing €120. I'm sure some of them are worth it
