Fixtures and Fittings

February 25, 2010 Black and White, Bronica ETRS, Event, Film

Making my way downstairs from yesterdays shot. There’s something about this area of the castle that both the Bronica and the panf really, really liked.

Finally developed and scanned a couple of rolls of PanF 50 from Charleville last year. Wouldn’t ya know it, grabbed the Bronica, stuck it on the tripod and headed straight for the stairs. Predictable or what?

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

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…

Caught while strolling around the outside of the castle at the now annual boards.ie photography forum Charleville meetup. Don’t forget, ladder cat is always watching!

Dressed to kill and resting calmly in the library in Charleville Castle. It’s the little things in life…

Those Stairs

October 24, 2008 Canon 24-70, Canon 5D, Event

Possibly one of the most photographed staircases in all of Ireland, the slightly rickety and massively eerie stairs at Charleville Castle in Tullamore. Many have photographed this before, most with amazing results.

Welcome to Charleville

October 20, 2008 Canon 24-70, Canon 5D, Event

Charleville Castle in Tullamore, Co. Offaly. Recently spent a night here as part of the now annual boards.ie event. Possibly not one of the most haunted buildings in the country, but definitely holds the record for the loudest snorers. Next time, bring ear plugs and duck tape. The ear plugs are for me. More to come over the next few days/weeks/months/years.
