Sexy Silhouettes


A shot taken early last year at a Dublin Strobist Meet up. Don’t you just love when your flashes/strobes don’t fire and you come out with a better shot then planned?

On Green

Garage shot - movie style
A shot taken a while back on the ‘Fast & the furious’ Strobist Photo shoot in Dublin. I wanted to give it a bit of a movie style feel to the shot so added some cross processing and the usual widescreen black top & bottom.

Merry Go Round

Merry Go Round At Night
For some strange reason I was sure these bad boys where called ‘Ferry go rounds’, looks like everybody else in the world knows them as Merry go rounds. Interesting that! This shot was taken over thirty seconds (30sec exposure) as I spun around in the MERRY-go-round like a madman. Fun fun fun!!!

Waterproof camera – Panasonic DMC-TS1

Panasonic DMC-TS1 camera in the snow

A lovely new camera!!
I got this Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1 last month and really love it. It’s waterproof and shockproof, perfect for kayaking! The photo quality is pretty good but the video is where it’s at. Amazing for on/in the water kayaking videos and perfect for behind the scenes video on the latest ‘Earthy Creatures’ shoots.
