Mallow put forward two panels in the Shield competition last Sunday the 13th of November. Our chairman Barry Linehan and our competition secretary Neilly Curtin travelled to Ballyfermot early Sunday morning to put up the panels. Neilly also roped in some members of his family to help hang the images.
Mallow put in a strong performance with their colour panel finishing with 349 points in total just 33 points behind Cork Camera Group’s winning panel.
In the mono section the Mallow panel scored 353 and was just 24 points behind Dundalk who won the overall prize
The highlight of the event for Mallow was when Bill Power’s image was Highly Commended. Well done Bill.
Congratulations to Dundalk and Cork on their success, and to all the members who got images onto the Mallow panel.

John Hooton has once again proved that he is among the top international photographers. At the 7th Salon Mondail of Photography De Limours John took the top prize in the colour section and in doing so won a F.I.A.P. Gold Medal for his panel of four images.
Nearly 1,000 photographers entered this competition with only 25% been accepted
to have their work exhibited in this prestigious event. You can see John’s images
on his website www.john-hooton.com
Some people may be surprised to see that these images are not wonderful seascapes but are images of the interior of an old house. A new departure for John but a measure of his talent that once again he comes out on top.
