First day done and a very enjoyable experience it was. No sales yet but plenty of interest with many returning for a second and third look. There was plenty of interest in U Lookin at Me?, Tear Drop. Bridge by Night, Light in the Forest and Contemplation. Pictured on top is both my stall (right)…
Well with just hours to go I have my photographs all printed and mounted. I’m pretty confident I have everything else ready but it’s too late to care. I’m off for some well earned sleep.
Just a couple of days before this years Peoples Photography Exhibition and I am making my final preparations. For those of you unfamiliar with this exhibition; “Peoples Photography is an Open Air exhibition of Photography. It is open to all photographers, professionals and amateurs alike. Each exhibitor is allocated a section of the railings of…
Well just back after a very relaxing 6 day break in Cork. We stayed in the Golf Lodges in the Capella Hotel in Castlemartyr about 30 minutes outside of cork city. During our stay we managed a visit to Foto Island Wildlife Reserve, Barryscourt Castle, Youghal and of course Cork City itself. I have only…
4 New shots uploaded after a recent trip to Powerscourt Gardens and Waterfall. In between the showers I managed to get a couple of shots I was happy with. Still experimenting with my new Canon 40D and Lee Filter Kit but so far I’ve been very happy with the results.
Well after a very very long hiatus I eventually got around to reworking my site into something I can maintain with ease. I have simplified the site down to my two main interests, namely Photography and Music. The Photography section of the site is dynamically linked to my Flickr site (where I have been spending…
Following my Maratea update here is a handful shots from Rome where we spent 5 days after our weekend in Maratea. We stayed right beside the Trevi Fountain and I got some nice night shots of it, albeit handheld. There are also quite a few night-shots around the city. Spotting a theme? Yes, I’ve discovered…
Just did a quick spring clean of the New Galleries and removed the not-so-new items. Anything I though worth keeping has been moved into the respective Showcase Gallery. This post has been kept for posterity but the internal links are dead.
Managed to get out again with the new lens, this time for a beautiful sunset, not that I did it justice. First real use of my new Giottos MT 92 Tripod too. First time trying to photograph sunsets, so fairly happy with these early results. Pop over to the Gallery to check them out for…
Well, as promised I picked up my new Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4.5 DC MACRO for my Canon EOS 400D yesterday. There are some good reviews at PhotoZone.de and Photographyreview.com. Anyway nothing special just tried out some macro shots in the back-garden. You’ll find them in the gallery. So far so good though, a definite improvement on…
A slightly longer absence then planned but I have been out and about with the Canon EOS 400D trying to get used to it. A trip to Edinburgh for Paddies weekend gave me plenty of photo opportunities but I didn’t seem to take much advantage as I’m pretty unhappy overall with the shots I took.…
Like many people I have been considering the jump from Windows to Mac for some time, actually about 3 years. And just like many of those people I said no, I just couldn’t afford to move away from Windows and lose out on so many applications that weren’t supported under OSX. When I say applications…
