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.

Weather permitting we will have a night shoot on Monday 21st November at Bridgetown Abbey in Castletownroche.
Photographers should bring tripods if they have one, warm clothes and it would be no harm to bring a plastic bag to put over your camera if we have a sudden shower. Make sure your camera batteries are fully charged.
