This Friday we welcome Rory O’Connor AIPF, AFIAP from Blarney Photography Club https://blarneyphotoclub.com with “My World of Photography.” Rory says, “I am mostly a seascape/landscape photographer but with an interest in other genres. Many of his scape images are taken in the counties of Cork, Kerry and Waterford on the South coast of Ireland. We should also see some macro, nature and portrait photography and hear the story behind some of the images. If you have any friends who may want to see the presentation then they can book a place through Enventbrite https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/my-world-of-photography-with-rory-oconner-aipfafiap-tickets-135139330375 for £3.50
