Shooting Deer?

The Camera Group meet on the last Thursday of the month in the SMA Parish Centre. We also go on day trips occasionally.

Our most recent trip was to Killarney on October 21st.

The day was absolutely clear and bright.

We met at the Castlerosse Hotel Car Park at 8:00 a.m. You can see how keen we were, as it takes over an hour to get there.

We had tripods and monopods plus cameras all ready, together with warm wooly hats and gloves and of course our best zoom lenses.

We walked down through Castlerosse Golf and were directed by a local onto the Kileen Course of Killarney Golf Club.

There was still frost on the ground so there were no golfers around.

There were plenty of deer to be seen.

We spent some hours ‘shooting’ the deer who obliged in no small way.

Our day was very successful. Tony, John and I retired to the Castlerosse Hotel where we were treated to Coffee and Scones by the Golden Years reception crew who happened to be on duty.

A great day was had by all.
