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 [...]

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 [...]

Modern Life is a mobile phone and coffee on the run…

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 [...]

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: [...]

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 [...]

Howth post sunset I

This was from the first filter session way back. It’s still one of my favourite photographs.

The photograph consists of three stacked filters, two ND grads and a tobacco grad which is a worrying fetish which I developed overtime. It was, at the time, an impulse purchase so really I am surprised that I got stuff [...]

Moonlight Sonata

I’ve a feeling the jpg convert has murdered this a little.

I owe thanks to Richard for lending me the filters. I was on the beach to take action shots, not moon shots. This is from a fullmoon night….beautiful evening on Dollymount.

Docker I and Docker II

This is from Kyle Tunney’s Evening photowalk a few weeks ago.

In fact, I’d done a photo walk there myself a few days earlier, and had shot it slightly differently on that occasion.

This is actually a piece of public art which I was not aware of until that first photowalk. I do not do a lot [...]
