Autumnal Abstract #03
An abstract image of a Cotoneaster arbusculus through the use of camera motion during exposure. Another image from my developing ‘impression’ series.
A Floral Image | A Chance to Blossom
A Floral Image | Wow didn’t we have a lovely March here in Ireland! Spring seems to be about Cherry Blossoms now more then Tulips, at least where I live.
A Floral Image | Signs of Life
Spring is here! While I love what every season brings, Spring offers something truly special. This image above captures the very essence of that new life for me. The bud of a new flower literally bursting from the ground. The dead brown leaves surrounding the vibrant pink flower stem acting as a classic juxtaposition – winter/death vs spring/life.
A Floral Image | Droplets on an Orchid
A Floral Image | I came across this Orchid in their Glasshouse dedicated to these types of flowers. I thought this unusual as it had not flowered yet. Added to that the sprinkelers had just been on and I could’t resist trying something a little different from the average Orchid photograph.
A Floral Image | A Pink Quill
The violet flower of this Tillandsia ‘Anita’ is in full bloom. This one has been on the back burner since April. I was fascinated by this plant when I came across it in Johnstown Garden Centre in Nass, Kildare.
Symmetry
I am currently traveling so this is a post I prepared last week and is being automatically published. Technology eh! its wonderful 🙂 I produced an image of this Orchid last year, in fact the image won a competition which I was delighted about. This is an even closer view of that incredible detail in…
The Lily Pad
Lilies are one of my favorite flowers, and water lilies even more so. I’ll always try and capture their delicate beauty whenever I see them. It was August 2009 the last time I shared some water lily images so I thought I would share this with you from a visit to the Botanical Gardens last…
A Flowering Echinacea
Another image from my my recent visit to the Japanese Gardens, this time of an Echinacea Flower. I noted my blog was looking decidedly yellow recently since I have posted the Black Eyed Susans on their own, with a little Hover Fly, a Bumble Bee and before that I posted Yellow on Green from my trip…
Yellow on Green
I took my maps of Dublin and Wicklow out yesterday morning to scan for possible new locations to shoot. I came across what appeared, on paper at least, to be a viable Waterfall near Glenmalure named Ess. So I packed my gear and headed out there. An hour later I was pulling into the closest…
Flourish
Click to purchase a print or commercial license. A pink flower is is full bloom while some buds beside it wait for their chance. [column width=”60%” padding=”3%” ] After my update on Tuesday from my recent visit to the botanical gardens I thought I would follow up with another image captured on the same day.…
Killruddery House (Part 1)
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…
I Win :-)
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…
