On the 29th of May, Charlie opened up the Skibbereen Gardening Centre, after closing time, for an evening of flower photography. After a short introduction with some composition ideas, members were free to enjoy the flowers with cameras and tripods. Mother Nature gave us a pleasant evening with sunshine and a decent temperature. Most areas were protected from the wind and offered good conditions.

Charlie announced that a competition will be held – the top 3 photographers will receive a gift card each to shop at the gardening centre. All the submissions can be viewed below. (click the first image to open each gallery)
