Life Is A Mystery
I went to see ‘The National‘ this evening in the Olympia and Wow! These guys are amazing live, I saw them this time last year in the Ambassador and they’re just brilliant. After the show I went to Temple Bar to take a few shots. Here’s two from this evening:
Beautiful Buddy
Another lovely sunny evening and what better way to spend it than to go out and have a wee play with the madra. He’s a collie/red setter mix; the red tint off his coat when the sun shines on him is mesmerizing!! If you’ve read some of my other posts you will know that lately I want to try getting into some more portrait/model work.
Welcome my first ever four legged model, Buddy!
First Attempt At Summer Macro Shots
Ho Ho Ho
Yes, that’s right folks it was as far back as Christmas when I actually bought this little baby
I really haven’t used this lense at all this year, 120/180 shots would be my guestimate. Now with the lovely weather, lovely flowers and insects passing by theirs no better reason to start using this lense.

Creating A Descriptive Timeline Action Shot
Hello and welcome to my first tutorial! I’m going to work you through one of my latest kayaking shots. This was my first attempt at this type of shot/Photoshopped image. I’ve gotten some good feedback about the image, which is always great. The shot is quite dark but in saying that, the location of the shoot is very tough for a photographer. Light is quite scarce and there are only so many places one would want to stand with a camera. I actually did a rescue course here three weeks back and was swimming through the play hole plenty of times over the weekend. It’s all very safe but I don’t think my poor camera would think the same.
One thing that I was unsure about in my photo is that, personally, (more…)
