Professional Photographer Dublin | Kyle Tunney

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!!

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!!
