After a rather trying time with a composite work, I was advised by Richard to go out in the sunshine. So I did. All the way to Wicklow.
I didn’t have any real plan in mind but wound up as far south as Brittas Bay. I kept hearing about Brittas Bay but really and truly, all [...]
I was in Dignes Les Bains today having done the train des Pignes. I had hoped for photos out of that but they were all taken through a window that doubled as a fly cemetry and frankly meh is as good as you’ll get for any of them.
On the way home, however, I got [...]
Christmas is fast approaching so here’s a vaguely Christmassy looking shot – well I think it is anyway – taken not at Christmas.
Yep. A tulip that I think would look rather nice on a Christmas card.
Something like this I would like to decorate a Christmas tree. I wonder if it’d be possible to cast these [...]
So I have this vision inside my head of a piece of jewellery that flashes points of light, a black background, and multiple exposures.
The way I do this – on this occasion – is to use the multi-fire functionality of my flash. And also I wish I had a master unit to use the flash [...]
One of the things I was interested in giving a shot at was sort of product glossy magazine type photographs.
Most of the product photography that I see done through the various photography groups I am involved in tend to involve lightboxes. I don’t own one and I’m not hugely enthused about buying more gear to [...]
This is just by way of something to decorate the walls of this post.
Joe McNally – who is fast becoming one of my favourite photography bloggers – has a piece here which I’d be hard pushed to describe. It’s a story of looking at life from the direction of a photographer who – basically – [...]
Sometime last year, Eamon Armstrong and I did a night kite shoot.
It was the first time I was out at night with a flash – usually I rely on ambient light to shoot stuff – but I’d seen some really hot post dusk wakeboarding shots and wanted to have a go at something similar. Albeit, [...]
This is one of the last afterdark shots from South County Dublin this evening. I haven’t really done anything like this before. I don’t think I’ve even tried. I’d given some of my filter gear to one of my friends so was looking around for stuff to play with. All I really had was his [...]
Danny has a truly great macro shot here.
Tommie has a fantastic comment on current life in Ireland right here.
I would never have seen either of those two photographs without someone else taking them.
Richard has a beauty here that – in my opinion – belongs on a greetings card. It is just such a classy shot.
ETA: [...]
