St. Kevins Back Yard

August 26, 2009 Canon 50, Canon 5D, Landscape, Wicklow

Glendalough, much earlier in the year. One of those magical places in Ireland that I’ve never failed to come away from with a shot that works.

Way to spend a Sunday

August 25, 2009 Canon 50, Canon 5D, Dublin, Event

Been down to the market in Blackrock a couple of times now. Lots of interesting stuff there. Topped off nicely with a crepe and then a walk up the street for a cup of something tasty in Starbucks.

On Reflection

August 24, 2009 Canon 5D, Dublin, Event, People

Walking back from the official end of the photo taking at the Scott Kelby photowalk in Dublin. Walking back to the pub that is. Reflected in the glass of one of the possibly under construction buildings.

Life at the Dock

August 23, 2009 Canon 5D, Dublin, Event

A high rise apartment block on the other side of the water at grand canal dock in Dublin. Only been down to this area a few times but it seems like it’d be a nice (if expensive) place to live.

Phoenix

Reading a little bit too much into that very entertaining bonfire on the grounds of Charleville castle during the meetup a couple of weeks ago.

The Elf in the Windmill

August 13, 2009 Canon 24-70, Canon 5D, Event, People

In Kinderdijk, in a windmill, looking out a window at… another windmill. Or two. Here she is, no doubt making that ‘photo taking’ face. Concentration I tells ya!

Charleville

August 10, 2009 Canon 5D, Event

Back from yet another fun packed (a little too fun packed) weekend at Charleville castle. Taken with a recently made pinhole lens (i.e. a body cap with a hole in it). I’m quite pleasantly surprised at how they came out. Wasn’t expecting such positive results. It does prove how much I need to clean my 5D’s sensor though…

Back To Those Stairs

August 8, 2009 Black and White, Canon 5D, Event

About a year ago, a crowd went to Charleville castle in Tullamore. Most (or all) of them spent a great deal of time right here, on these stairs. No doubt it’ll be the same this year. Or, this weekend to be more precise. This time I’m going armed with a lot of black & white film…

Splash of Red

More Velvia, this time from the Howth film meetup that took place a long, long time ago. Very little processing to be done on this one thankfully, just a few spots of dust and the odd tiny hair. Need a clean place to dry my negs!

Torc Waterfall

August 4, 2009 Bronica ETRS, Film, Kerry, Landscape

Part of the stack of Velvia that\’s been sitting, waiting to be scanned for months. This is my very first post of a shot taken on velvia and I\’m going to start as I mean to go on. All the velvia shots I\’m going to post will be exactly as they came out of the scanner. Which, hopefully, will be very close to exactly how they came out of the camera. The only alterations I\’m going to allow myself areRead More

Samuel Beckett’s Harp

July 29, 2009 Canon 5D, Dublin, Event

Construction work at the Samuel Beckett bridge continues at the docklands. Not pictured; the fences, construction machinery and various warning signs.

Well Deserved

July 27, 2009 Canon 5D, Dublin, Event, People

After a good few hours of mad, unchecked creativity, we all needed a pint or three. Chilling out in the Ferryman after the Scott Kelby photowalk in Dublin.

Poor Mans Stereoscopic

July 26, 2009 Canon 5D, Dublin, Event

The reflection (just can’t get enough of them) in an office window down around the Dublin docklands.

440 on the town

July 25, 2009 Canon 5D, Dublin, Event

Possibly Julie’s first outing with the Polaroid 440 that some genius got her for her birthday. Some king among men. May all the Gods bless him, wherever he is… (also, just loving that 135 f2L)

The Status

July 24, 2009 Canon 5D, Dublin, Event

Spotted this and amused myself with how much it looked like a status bar when viewed at the correct angle. Or… maybe not.

Anyone Home?

July 23, 2009 Canon 5D, Dublin, Event

I’m sure this buzzer worked at some stage. Possibly for about 12 hours the day it was installed at the similarly spray painted apartment building on Windmill Lane.

420 SL

July 22, 2009 Canon 5D, Dublin, Event

The backend of an especially attractive Mercedes Benz parked near Windmill Lane. Parked next to a fairly run of the mill Ford Fiesta. Not pictured; The Fiesta.

It’s raining John…

July 21, 2009 Canon 5D, Dublin, Event

Trying to drive the poor man crazy at the seemingly poor start of the Scott Kelby Photowalk. He wasn’t having any of it. Also, if you’ve never seen two dozen people photographing a tram before, I heartily recommend it. Very entertaining.

Sytner Mini

July 19, 2009 Canon 24-70, Canon 5D, Dublin, Event

Near ‘no photograhers land’ at the back of Connolly station during the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk. A lovely red freshly rained on mini.

Our Fearless Beardy Leader

The boss man; John taking a group shot during the Scott Kelby Worldwide photowalk earlier today in Dublin. Great event and some great organisation by John. Cheers for the day out!
