Last weekend was a great and successful one for two Mallow Camera Club members who won major awards in national competitions.

Paul Tips won two Gold medals, a Silver and an Honourable Mention in the Intermediate Section of the IPF National Nature Photography Competition held in Kilkenny on Sunday last.  Paul’s image of an insect drinking a drop of water ‘Bubble Bug’ won intermediate gold in the print category.  In the Natural World category Paul won silver and gold for two superb images – including one of an insect on a leaf.
