Red Bull

This weekend was the annual Battle for the Bay which is generally afflected with a massive lack of wind. There was less this year than last year, which is saying a lot. The sun shone on Saturday though; it did not on Sunday so there was dancing in the rain and stuff.

Anyway, I took a [...]

Danny O’Brien, great photographer, great friend

I know when I first met Danny. I was a stressed out boardsie at People’s Photography who’d only agreed to do this 2 days beforehand and had all sorts of fun and games getting ready to try and flog some of my – I thought – fabulous photographs to the world at large. Boy did [...]

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 [...]
