Lighthouses in Wicklow

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 [...]

American tourists…

While I was recceing possible photography locations earlier during the day, I discovered there were places where water broke quite heavily against the rocks near the sea wall to the port end of the Bay of Angels in Nice, so when the sun came out this evening, I decided to go in search of some [...]

Beacon, North Bull Wall…after a dark after fashion

A new photograph by way of a change, taken today.

This is the 10007th photo taking with this camera which I have about a year. This is actually quite low by my standards; prior to 2009, I’d normally make 15000-20000 photos a year; it’s the price of sport. I’m finding that quite hard work now, and [...]

Rome and San Sebastien by night.

This is one of the older shots, done with a lot of automatic buttons pushed on a brief – very brief – trip to Rome a few years ago. I didn’t really have the freedom to do what I wanted while I was there and set up time was very limited. Very much a case [...]

Nail varnish and perfume.

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 [...]

Dun Laoghaire Harbour by night….

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: [...]

Sunset, Bullock Harbour Dalkey

I live in North Dublin. Apparently it’s the sticks but frankly, it has a postcode, the buses are pretty frequent and on average take around 15 minutes to get to town so it qualifies as the city for me.

Last night, suffering from a little “I spend too much time inside in front of my computer”, [...]

Sunrise at White Rock Beach, Killiney

I’ve come to the conclusion that Dalkey is a vortex out of which it’s hard to find your way, particularly if you are looking for Killiney.

Late last night, Darragh Sherwin contacted me and suggested I join him and Paula Banks for a sunrise shoot in Killiney. Despite the fact that it was around 11pm when [...]

After Dark, Clontarf I

I think this made it onto dsl before dsl died.

Let’s skip the details. The picture depicts Dublin’s twin towers, from Clontarf coastal walk. Very nice walk it is too. You get to look at Dublin Port through the mask of boats connected to Clontarf Yacht Club.

Anyway.

Some useful stuff:

Via boards.ie: Useful info for photographers. I like [...]

Moonlit path

This is from a couple of weeks ago on the beach during full moon.

Somewhere in the vaults of my mind is a plot for a book which involved following the path of light cast by the moon out of an enclosed bay to adventure. I got as far as mapping the enclosed bay, and doing [...]
