Kyle Tunney Photography

Hello Hello to anybody out there covered in cobwebs.

I’m sure you’ve noticed this place has gotten fairly quiet over the past two month and it sure has! I’ve been away for a good few weeks and decided to have a proper break – forget about computers, photoshop, facebook, blogs, the interweb and even electricity for a good bit. It’s been great!

Don’t Fret though, I’m back!!

Here’s a shot I took in Westport, County Mayo this weekend. The scenery & light in the west is amazing, that’s the beautiful Croagh Patrick in the background.

Something quite a bit different from my usual – What are your thoughts on the shot?

Have I missed much online?

I’m looking forward to getting back into twitter, blogging, facebook and all the rest within the next few weeks!

A beautiful panoramic shot of Lower Lough Bray deep in the Dublin Mountains. You might remember I posted about this before under ‘A Short Photographic Hike‘, that gives you all the info you need on where this is and the hike itself. This was the second time I’ve done the hike. There was a good bit less snow but still a great hike.

See that house?

There’s some serious resolution in these last few pano’s I’ve been churning out. It’s really hard to convey it by just putting up a web image. I’ll try though – See the house in the image above? Here’s a closer look

Beautiful Irish Panoramic Photos

I’m starting to see a recurring theme to my lastest panoramic hike shots – Meditative

It’s not often I post other people photographs or movies on here but this had to go up. I find myself lucky to have had the chance to see this movie.

My entire life, these are the two words I have based my whole world and ethos around Love Life. It’s such a simple concept and one I wish more people could live by. It costs nothing, makes you happier, makes you smile, helps others around you, it’s contagious.

Earlier I posted a video on Facebook that just stunned me, it made me cry while still keeping a smile on my face. If you have a spare six minutes, I’d recommend watching it. It will provoke some amazing emotions within!!

This is the story of Steve Fugate Sr and how he lost both of his children. Amazing!!

LOVE LIFE

How did you feel after watching this?

Where have I been?

Well it’s been a long long time since I’ve made time to post up on the blog. I have been keeping active on Facebook though, so click on over there every so often if you’re so inclined. As you may have heard my moniter went crazy a few weeks back and that stopped the show for a little while. I now have a new beautiful HP monitor that I’m getting used to.

Below is a shot taken a few months back for Dublin Kendo club, it was a really fun shoot with some brilliant images from the day!

A long exposure shot taken outside Trinity College last night. This is Trinitys brilliant and lovely looking climbing wall. I’m thinking of taking up climbing for the summer months, anybody want to give me a few tips/teach me?

Fairplay to all the swimmers!!!

Sunrise Thursday morning at Sandycove

Last Thursday I had another nice early morning out at (the fourty foot) Sandycove, there wasn’t that much of a sunrise like the last time though (40 Foot Sunrise – Sandycove). So, instead of thinking of it as a day/morning wasted, I took out a 2stop ND Grad filter and started to do some long exposure shots of the rocks. I really like these as a set, especially the last few below!!

Show off your long exposure photos!!

Have you taken any long exposure shots in the past few weeks/months? I’d love to see some of your shots of different scenes to give me and readers inspiration!! Leave a photo/link below!

I took this amazing shot a few months ago when we had the lovely snow. The plan was to go out kayaking on the upper liffey but the roads were just too bad to drive on. Instead a hike was in order and BOY, what an amazing hike. Every so often half my body would dissapear into the snow – SO much fun. I did the hike again yesterday (on Paddy’s day) and it was just as beautiful! (There’s even a bit of hidden snow in the sheltered areas!)

Below is a map and link to google maps on where this hike is. I can see myself gong up there a lot over the next while for more shots.

The hike can take anything from one hour to five hours depending on your fitness level (Photographic fitness & physical fitness) /dedication to photos on the day.

Let me know if you’ve been here before, taken shots (link me below by leaving a comment!) or plan on heading up in the near future!!
I’d love to see other peoples shots from this beautiful landscape!!

It’s 3.20am and not a mouse stirring throughout the house, beep beep, beep beep. The alarm chirps & a groggy headed ginger erupts from the bed. Landscape photographer Kyle Tunney is back!!. It’s been a long time since I’ve actually taken any scenic/landscape shots and being honest, I haven’t missed it one bit. That is, up untill I got to the top of the mountain on Sunday.

Wow I love taking landscapes!!! Getting up at three or four in the morning, Driving, Hiking, Sitting/standing, watching, waiting, wondering, dreaming, listening, meditating and then finally a CLICK. What an amazing experience!!

A HDR Image of Glendalough at sunrise

Another HDR Image of Glendalough Lake, taken further up the mountain

Lately there seems to be streaks from plane all over the sky. Loving them!

These are the cracking set of steps you have to climb in the dark. Great fun!!

If you’ve never been here before for a sunrise, it’s an amazing experience. At 5am, it’s pitch dark, you don’t know where you’re going and can hear an amazing stream while walking up. It’s not for a few hours on your way back down that you get to see it.

This shot was taken as I was waiting for the sunrise. It’s a 360 second exposure/6minute photo with a 10stop welder glass on the lens. I was the first time to use this so had nothing with me to hold it onto the lens, it got a bit sore after 5minutes trying not to move or shake while keeping it glued to the glass. Looking forward to trying more of these!!

Photographing Landscapes – Early Riser

Make the most of the day – sometime over the next two weeks try get up extra early with your camera and take a few shots (and Yes… that does imply leaving the comfort of your bed, not just staying in bed with your camera ). You’ll feel great after, I promise!!
