Acceptance in 154th Edinburgh International Exhibition of Photography 2016
In order to achieve my next FIAP distinction – the EFIAP, I’ve started entering Print Salons internationally to achieve the required 25 print acceptances criteria for EFIAP. My first attempt was the prestigious Edinburgh Exhibition which receives over 3000 entries each year and only exhibits 202 prints. This year my work “Raphaella on Point” was…

Easter Monday 2016
This morning my wife Liz was pouring over maps trying to figure out how to best get to Ashbourne and the Rath monument for todays commemoration. I’ve never understood this kind of stress. I practice positive parking, so unless you do too, you will perhaps not realise that any thoughts about “How” to find the…

Donabate 2016
Today all over Ireland people marked the centenary of the 1916 rebellion in public and personal ways. Some of the images I recorded today are in this gallery. Many locals dressed in uniform or costume remembering relatives locally involved in 1916. The image below was one of my favuorite portraits of the day. It saddens…

Mayo Weekend – Part I
This weekend I headed west for some landscape photography on the south shore of Lough Mask near Clonbur, straddling the Mayo / Galway boarder. I arrived late Saturday afternoon in time for a sunset shoot. I started with some shots of my favourite submerged tree on the lake which I had not captured in this…

Revisiting the landscape
Never delete images! The above image was taken in 2008, I’m only got to post process it yesterday! Back then I would not have used the same techniques and would not have been as happy with the results. It’s not my favourite image from then, but others seems to like it a lot! I’ve…

Letter Box Landscapes
I’m not usually in the habit of making very wide format images, but recently I’ve been asked to fill walls requiring this format so thought I’d look at some of my landscapes and see how the work. I think i have plenty more images that will work well in this format, so might have to…

Fairy Queen
Working with creative and talented people makes the photographer’s job so much easier and much more fun. While waiting on a future completed costume, Caitriona “threw” together this costume below from scratch, including moulding and painting the antlers, making the bodice, doing her makeup, etc. For my part, I took the opportunity to try our…

Falling Heros
Creating an image we’re told, should start with a vision and follow on with a creative process to achieve that vision. Sometimes this is not the case, instead creating an image itself leads to a tangential thought process and presents more material for future exploration. This was the case when I dug out an image…

Christmas Fun Competition
This year Celbridge Camera Club devised a new creative and fun end of year competition with categories for non-advanced and advanced working members of the club. Over the year I’ve been playing with techniques and learning new post processing tips from many sources, Club talks, fellow club members, online videos, and even visiting the National…
