Dundalk Photographic Society Storms Home to win 2016 IPF National Shield

November 13, 2016 by Niamh Whitty Leave a Comment

shield 2016

What a day in Cork! 25 clubs took part in a very high quality National Shield in Cork, the first time the National Shield has been held in the “real capital” as the locals call it!

In a fierce contest, Dundalk Photographic Society wrested the National Shield back to East after three years in West. Two super panels from Dundalk members took 2nd place in Mono and 1st place in Colour, allowing them to fend a very strong challenge from Palmerstown Camera Club in 2nd and Offshoot Photographic Society in 3rd place.

And the winners are.. IPF Shield Coordinator Joe Doyle and IPF President Michael O'Sullivan pictured with Declan Tumilty and Damien O'Malley from Dundalk Photographic Society and of course… the National Shield!

In addition to taking home the National Shield, Dundalk Photographic Society also win €250 in vouchers for Canson Infinity paper from Sheldon Fine Art Papers, Palmerstown Camera Club won €150 in vouchers and Offshoot Photographic Society receive €100 worth of vouchers.

Our speakers were simply brilliant. Paul Reidy was outstanding while Eimhear Collins was superbly passionate. They both could have done with agents following the number of requests received to do club talks!

Great judges! So experienced and knowledgeable. Thanks to:
• Linda Wevill FRPS EFIAP/b and DPAGB
• Jane Lines MPAGB BPE5* LRPS
• Terry Donnelly FRPS FSWPP MPAGB FBPE EFIAP

Huge shout out to our sponsors – Sheldon Long Fine Art Papers and Canson.

What a backroom team. The ever efficient and reliable Niamh Whitty. The scoring team worked very hard but had a good laugh – Bill Power, Tony Murray and Ita Martin. I cannot thank the 4 of you enough.

A long list of well deserved “thank you’s”. Firstly, Kilkenny’s John Cuddihy and Andy Magan, played a blinder in getting up at God knows when to get the stands from Kilkenny to Cork by 07:30. Then great to see reinforcements from the host club Cork Camera Group – Charlie O’Donovan, Vincent Kelly, John Finn, Martin Duggan and Michael Stokes active all day. Thanks also to Jim McSweeney, our calligrapher.

Results, winning panels, winning individual images and presentation photos are all available to view below.

Finally, a massive thank you to all clubs who participated and to everyone who travelled to Cork yesterday!
