Yesterday was the third annual Scott Kelby World Photowalk. I’d forgotten it was coming up. Anyway, this time, John Williams took us west rather than east. I tend to prefer east – probably because it takes me towards my more natural stomping ground of the sea. We wound up in tourism heaven, Temple Bar and [...]

Strangely enough, it seems like all I have been doing lately is shooting pictures of people. So, from the last month or two, here are a few. Taking pictures of people is not something that necessarily comes naturally to me. Most of these were done, I think, with the 50mm 1.8. There may be a couple of [...] 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 [...] |
