sunny Sundays in Dun Laoghaire.

I wasn’t really sure how this would turn out.

Dun Laoghaire, Sunday afternoon. from Treasa Lynch on Vimeo.

I chose to freeze it a couple of times. Based on this I have ideas for how I would do some in the future.

Landing site to the left.

This is a sunset over the Bay of Angels in Nice. The airport is off to the left as you look at the photograph, and I’ve been told the cloud looks a bit like a UFO. I didn’t really notice that at the time.

I’m planning the purchase of a new camera bag and a new [...]

Of ice cold hearts.

Anyone who knows me knows I collect some odd things. Since I have a macro lens and a flash, the odd things I collect involve icecube moulds and the one I use most frequently is the heart shaped mould. Rest assured I also own Space Invaders and Fish shaped moulds. I bought a bunch of [...]

Volcano, Tenerife. Christmas about 4 years ago.

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 [...]

Shooting points of light.

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 [...]

Looking out at the sea…

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 – [...]

High Key kitesurfer

This is actually my favourite photograph from last weekend’s session on the beach.

A lot of peopleare coming to the beach shooting the kitesurfers now, so, yeah, there’s more competition. One of the things I started doing at an early stage was trying to make the shots stand out from the crowd of shots around them [...]

Online photograph galleries

Sometime ago, one of my contacts posted a question up on his twitter page about why people would use pix.ie over flickr. I know other people have answered this question (see Phil O’Kane’s comments here) but I wanted to put a few words together on the subject myself.

I got into social networking through Flickr. Prior [...]

other people’s photographs…

Tommy has a lovely shot of a pod of whales in Kerry here. Well worth a look.

On a new journey…

I used to have a site called Dancing Shades of Light. It has died.

This is my new home. I hope it’s a happier place for me than the old site was before it started to die under the weight of Gumblar attacks.

This photograph was taken in Malahide, Dublin, Ireland. The effect was achieved by using [...]
