Well that’s the title anyway. It’s not strictly speaking accurate as I know this surfer lives in Dublin and I know this photograph was taken in Morocco. But we did fly home the evening this picture was taken. I’ve a yen to go travelling again. I’ve had it since about September to be honest but things [...] There’s nothing very pyrotechnical about this photograph and in that, I think lies the reason I like it so much. It’s easy to make a kitesurfing photograph look great when your kitesurfer is dangling upside down in the middle of a newstyle trick. And once you have bells and whistles like autofocus and continuous shooting [...] I’m not sure what to say about this. It was taken with a 350D and a 70-300mm Sigma zoom. I’ve always liked Sigma lenses. There was a lot of haze for this photograph. I have this yen to do lots of black skies but it’s difficult to find a balance when you have a volcanic mountain [...] This was taken on a flickr photography trip in Dublin two or three years ago. It’s one of those photographs which seems to have caught people’s attention. I know for example that there are three copies of it gone to Poland and it has caused discussion the one or two times it hit People’s Photography. [...] This was taken in my parents’ backgarden yesterday. It’s one of the first photographs I took for 2010. Although it didn’t really yesterday, it’s pretty close to how I feel right now. Tired and a little colourless. I drove from Cork today and although it didn’t take as long as it could have done given [...] So, okay, here’s the mermaid. She cost 6.99 in Atlantic Homecare, bought when I expected to use her as fodder for experimenting with the 50mm 1.8 that everyone apparently should have. She is a mass produced dust gatherer currently living on my mantlepiece because I haven’t found it in my heart to dump her or find [...] 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 – [...] I appear to have lost the ability to spell the name of that place correctly and my typing isn’t so hot right now either. This photograph is of the derelict baths in Dun Laoghaire. Having done a little reading up on them lately I have learned that they were still open until 1997. Although that’s 12 [...] There are actually a couple of prints of this in existence. You know, it’s a great feeling when someone comes to you and tells you they absolutely love a photograph you’ve taken. If I had to pick out two photographs which have caused the greatest reaction from people, this would be second best. The other one I [...] Not sure why this didn’t get posted around the time it was taken. It was taken into the sun and I can’t remember how I managed to avoid turning it into a silhouette. I’m pretty sure I was not firing flash. Anyway, a lot of people seemed to like it, so here it is. ______________________________ Earlier today I [...] |
