Michael Schitzhofer in Portimao a couple of years ago at a PKRA invitational. I always liked this shot – this is going to sound grotesque but it was the detail of his open mouth. Pretty sure I couldn’t do this. A lot of work went into turning what was a fairly average colour shot into [...]

and I had planned to go to Oahu in January to a surf photography course and for various family reasons it just collapsed out of my life as a possibility. I don’t know if it’s because it’s spring and life is getting a little brighter, I would love, love to go somewhere I can photograph decent [...] Jamie Lawrence, a very fine photographer down in Cork, sent me a question today which caught my attention. why are the photos you most love taken years ago and how can you get back to that state? I had to think about this, a lot, and a little, and, I must confess, in a few different ways. [...] I took some photographs in Cork on Christmas morning. Some sunrise shots, and also, some of the frosted snow using the macro lens. I would never have seen myself as a macroey person but…Anyway. This is from wild parts of my parents garden; nothing cultivated I must confess. Tomorrow is the last day of 2010. The [...] Some time ago I linked a couple of videos from RipCurl that used bullet time tech for a new ad featuring surfers. Mick Fanning and Steph Gilmore featured as far as I remember. Anyway, I idly wondered how they did that. The answer has started to buzz around the photoblogosphere over the last day or two. I’d [...] Today being Saint Patrick’s Day there’s a surfeit of shamrockery around the web, and I have decided not to post pictures of Guinness glasses. Yesterday evening, the main evening news in Ireland on RTE at 6pm had a little featurette not on majorettes, but on the National Photographic Archive which now has a significant whack of [...] 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 don’t specialise in surf photography. In Irish terms, the surf photographer of choice would almost definitely be Paudie Scanlon. I do the odd shot here and there but since I don’t spend much time in the water, it’s almost academic. This is one of my favourite surf shots that I did take and it’s not [...] Take a look at this post: Modern Life is a mobile phone and coffee on the run. Then go take a look at this image on flickr by swingking85. Modern Life is…went up onto boards.ie in their random thread and caused some debate in the thread. Yesterday I get a message from swingking85 – and yes I know [...] Taking photographs when the sand is blowing like this is kinda of difficult. Okay, a couple of things to run down at the moment. Red Bull Illume is running again. I am under severe pressure for it because I did not realise it was coming up, need to check deadlines and select photographs. I can think of [...] |
