Killarney

<h2>Local amateur photographers were snap happy to hear that they had won in a recent competition.</h2>


Killarney Camera Club held the Open Digital competition, its first of the season, recently. It attracted a great interest with a total of 26 members entering a broad selection of high quality photographs.
&#8220;Well done to Ade Desbrow who came first in the Unrestricted category with a stunning photograph titled ‘Sunflower’,&#8221; Seamus Long from Killarney Camera Club, said.
Ade gave an insight into how he took the photo.
“I used a 50mm lens to photograph one of the sunflowers in my kitchen,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;Using a technique called focus stacking, I took 10 photographs at different focus points and merged them. This maximises the sharpness of the image from front to back and really brings out the detail in the leaves and the petals.”
The top three in the Unrestricted category were 1st Place: Ade Desbrow, Sunflower, 187 points, 2nd Place: Noel O’Neill, Milltown Bridge Reflections, 180 points, and 3rd Place: Seamus Long, Siskin, 177 points.

&#8220;The club continues to meet fortnightly on Thursday night via Zoom. New members are always welcome.&#8221; Anyone interested in joining can email secretary@killarneycameraclub.ie.
