The first from a series I will be publishing from my recent trip to Spain in September. Here I have published two images that are almost identical apart from a subtle difference in focal points. These were both shot handheld @ f2.8, so have a depth of field of just a few millimetres. There was…
Well that’s it for another year. A thoroughly enjoyable weekend of good coffee, great company, good coffee, chatting to passers bye, good coffee, selling a few prints, oh and good coffee. It certainly proved brisker trade then last year with plenty of customers leaving the railings of St Stephen’s Green happily with a nice print…
Well it’s hard to believe Peoples Photography has come around again. It’s been a full year since my first foray and I feel a lot more prepared this time round, both in terms of the caliber of my images and my general preparations. This year I really focused on the quality of the end product…
A second batch of images from the picturesque Kilruddery House & Gardens. This time all but one of the images are from my 2nd visit in early August. If you look really closely you may notice a trend in today’s images. No? Ok then they’re all of Lilies. The gardens contain a very large pond…
Well yet again an unintended extended break, although this time just from actually publishing images as I have managed to get out on several occasions over the last few months including two trips to Amsterdam and two to Kilruddery House & Gardens. This is the first batch from my visit to Kilruddery House & Gardens…
Working through a back catalog at the moment, this is from a visit to the Zoo back in April. I find these creatures fascinating and incredibly expressive. Seeing the juveniles play while the mother seemed somewhat lost struck me as a very human like behavior.
I ventured up to Wicklow on the advise of an avid walker who described this region as reminiscent of Vietnam, with it’s rolling hills fading into a misty background. It was a very windy evening and I was very exposed to the elements during these shots but I think it was worth it. I hope…
The good folks over at Canon Blogger as part of Jason’s excellent Learning Digital Photography ran a competition last month after Episode 22 where he interviewed Tom, Hogarty, Senior Product Manager for Adobe Lightroom. The folks at Adobe were good enough to provide Jason with a copy of Lightroom for the winner. And to my…
I took a trip down to Bull Island here in Dublin to capture what appeared at the time to be a guaranteed beautiful sunset. However as often happens here in Ireland the clouds swooped in around the setting sun at the last minute. However not deterred I waited until the sun had fully set to…
The last in a series of images from my trip to our local Botanical Gardens here in Dublin. I was lucky enough to happen upon these just after they had been watered. They’re an incredible vibrant yellow.
The 3rd in a series of images from my trip on Saturday to our local Botanical Gardens here in Dublin. This is not the first time I have shot this Orchid as I managed to capture it during a visit to the gardens last year also. This is one of the most fascinating Orchids for…
The 2nd in a series of images from my trip on Saturday to our local Botanical Gardens here in Dublin. An ultra close up of the delicate petals of this Orchid. I love the way the colours almost bleed into the white as if it someone split ink.
