Welcome to Galway Camera Club online

Galway Camera Club has been running for over 20 years and is a diverse group of individuals interested in taking and viewing photographs. With a broad range of members from Professional to Amateur, we cater to all kinds of photography, from Digital to Film. We have members with interests in Infrared, Pinhole and Lomographic photography, along with more standard fare such as Landscape and Portrait photography.
There are also beginners classes available and new members are always welcome.
We meet on a Thursday night at 8pm in the White Room in Cluain Mhuire college (GMIT), Wellpark Road, situated a short walk from the junction at the Huntsman.

World Wide Photo Walk

The second annual world wide photo walk takes place on the 18th July this year.
I applied and was accepted as walk leader for the Galway walk. There are requirements to lead the walk, such as having lead a camera group or teaching classes. As I've done both, and seeing no one else had applied, I applied.

Anyway, the walk is limited to 50 people, so if you are interested, go to the page on the world wide photo walk page and sign up.

What is a Photo Walk? Well pretty much as it sounds, you takes photos and walk. There are prizes for the best photo of the walk, and photos get featured on the website. The idea of a world wide photo walk is the brain child of Photoshop author Scott Kelby. It's all about meeting other photographers and having fun in the process.

Saturday 18th April @ 7:30pm
Bar No. 8, Docks, Galway



Meetforeal events are designed for you to meet like-minded people, share your ideas and learn something new!



This fantastic interactive discussion and presentation will be led by Dave Gilligan, photographer and design expert based in Limerick.



Dave’s presentation will look at some key photographs taken during the wars of the 20th century and some other violent events, including the history of the IRA and the decommissioning of their weapons. It will include a discussion of the cameras used by the photographers of the time and the most violent events that they witnessed.

After the presentation, there will be an interactive discussion, and space for other photographers to give a short presentation of their work.



If you would like to participate further in the event by sharing your work in a 6.40 min (Pecha Kucha) presentation, you can register here.



More details about the event here.


Admission is FREE.

Thanks a lot and looking forward to seeing you there! If you know of someone who would be interested in the event please forward this details.

Meetup Success

We had 6 people show up for the Christmas Lights meetup. The ladies were decidedly letting their side down as it was an all male contingent. I'd expect to see a few of these images showing up on the Flickr Group in the next few days. Hopefully we'll organise more of these in the future, even before we resume again in Jan.
