Members run for positions in next year’s society committee. The new committee is chosen from the votes of both the committee and society members present at the event. The newly elected committee will stay back at the end of the event when the other members have left and will be briefly introduced into the committee.

Members of the committee will gather on campus and separate into groups of 5-6 people, each group having at least one member from the committee keeping check of each member, whether they are present, lost or need to leave. They will each get a compact film camera with 36 shots each and we head into town together on the bus. Once in town, we follow a pre-destined route through Dublin City where members are encouraged to take cool pictures along the way. At the various stops, members will have prompts to inspire what pictures they can take as a group. At the end of the route, the cameras will be collected and the film will be sent off to be developed over the next week.

Members will be taught how long exposure picture work, and then shown what photographic opportunities to be had in relation to light and light painting. People will break up into groups to help take various different light painting experiment pictures. When time is up, they return to the meeting point to end the event and see the results. 

Members of the society who wish to learn and understand the basic elements and principals of photography are invited to a workshop that spends half the time teaching the necessary elements in a presentation, and then spending the second half allowing members to try out those skills. A manual camera app for phones will be recommended so members don't feel they need to have a big DSLR camera with them. 

The group will leave the Henry Grattan building together and head towards the bus stop to take a bus into town. Once the group has arrived in town the committee will assign smaller groups, with at least one committee member in each, in charge of the route and sanitation etc. There will be disposable cameras handed out to each group. The groups then will start following the given route and take pictures throughout the previously planned route.  The groups will meet again at 22.15, hand in their disposable cameras to the committee so that the pictures can get developed. The event officially ends at 22.30.

Outside event which will allow the opportunity for old and new members to come together. They can meet the new committee and ask any questions they may have about the society or the year ahead.
