Liam Ó Domhnaill ag Comórtas 'Grianghrafadóir Dúla na Bliana' i Londain
Tar éis sé mhí á choinneáil mar rún, tá an-sceitimíní ar Mhuintir Uí Dhomhnaill a roinnt go bhfuil Liam Ó Domhnaill, Idirbhliain, i ndiaidh gradam ardmholta a thuilleadh sa chomórtas domhanda mór le rá, 'Grianghrafadóir Dúlra na Bliana'. An pictiúr a chuir sé isteach don chomórtas ná 'Guilbnigh ag Speáráil'. Bíonn an comórtas dúlra seo ar siúl i Londain chuile bliain sa Mhúsaem Staire Nádúrtha agus bhí ceiliúradh 60 bliain acu i mbliana. Chuir 60,000 isteach ar an gcomórtas i mbliana.
Le cúig bliana anuas, tá Liam i ndiaidh a bheith ag glacadh grianghraif den dúlra timpeall air agus tá suim ar leith anois aige sna feithidí. Eispéireas den chéad scoth ab ea é do Liam dul chomh fada le Londain agus bhí deis aige freastal ar shearmanas charbhait dhuibh, buaileadh le comhghrianghrafadóirí agus rúin na ceirde a roinnt. Tá Liam ag dul ó neart go neart agus tá an-sceitimíní orainn dá thodhchaí sa réimse seo!
After 6 months of keeping it secret, we are so excited to share that Liam Ó Domhnaill, Idirbhliain, has received a Highly Commended award in the world-famous Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition with his photo of 'Sparing Black- tailed Godwits'. The wildlife photography competition is the flagship exhibition at the London National History Museum each year and this year for its 60th anniversary, the competition received just short of 60,000 entries.
For the last 5 years, Liam has been photographing the wildlife of Ireland lately branching out to insects. Being part of the awards ceremony at the London Natural History Museum was an amazing experience with him getting the chance to attend a black tie awards ceremony, meet other like minded people and trade secrets. His enthusiasm has now been refuelled so all we can say is watch this space! Please click on the link below to see Liam's amazing entry:
