Took these on the top of Bray Head on a Sunny Sunday at sun set. Had hoped from a bit more drama in the sky but all things considered I’m happy with them. I had also wanted to try stitching several HDR images together. Need more practice on this. The Panorama here looks OK and it’s definitely large enough at 14,380 pixels wide! But there’s some noise creeping in on some of the darker areas. This is more to do with the HDR conversion than anything.
There’s also a couple in from last weekend in Glendalough.

I finally managed to get out the door with my camera during this amazing weather. Had an idea that the Grand Canal might look great with the low lying snow clouds creating an amazing ambient light. The exposures were long, 30 seconds and more as I was shooting at 100 iso. Hopefully I’ll get more before it all disappears.

A happy boy!. I really must set aside some more time to updating my website. There’s been loads going on and i’ve thankfully been very busy. Site doesn;t really reflect that at the moment but i’ll do my best to keep it updated. I have a load more to enter into the web and brand sections along with some other funky posters and promos!
Here are one or two updated items:

Only 3 days left! Looks like all will be set for my first exhibition taking place in Lahinch Art Gallery, Main Street, Lahinch Co. Clare. Hopefully it will go OK and i’ll be able to make up SOME of the cost of putting this on
Prints range in size from A3 420mm (width) x whatever height to A1 800mm width. All photos are available in multiple sizes by order and all photos are limited edition out of 50.
I have received fantastic help from people like Carmel & Rosie Kenny, owners of Kenny’s Art Gallery, Michael Vaughan proprietor of Vaughan Lodge, Lahinch and Patrick Egan of Egan’s Pub, Liscannor. I’d also like to mention my excellent framer, Stephen Swail who got me out of a last minute bind! Wicklow Glass & Glazing. Also, a special thanks goes to Gerry Collison, Editor of the Clare People and last but not least, Martina Costello.
Lets hope I actually sell some now!

had been trying to get some more dramatic sea shots around Liscannor bay for a while but the weather and I never seemed to get along. Last week I managed to get a few on a day that had a decent swell.

After several phone calls from a friend letting me know he was taking off from the top of Bray head in a Para Glider, yesterday I got a chance to head up there with my daughter. I twas a beautiful evening and she really enjoyed the hike up. All of these were taken with my amazing 5dMkII using the only lens I brought 70-200mm F4 L.

Thought i’d post some design stuff as I haven’t posted anything design related in a while. Here’s a couple of new promo flyers/posters for The Wright Venue. I have tried to stick with the gradient mapped effect for as much as I can. In this example it only really worked for the wedding pic.
It’s also an example of how I can use the mono versions of the brand and still maintain consistency. I like the white version of the logo and have used the mono version to create a block foil for invites and several items relating to the VIP Penthouse section of the club. When I get a chance to photograph them i’ll post.

Just took this in the kitchen with a sigma 50mm f1.4 EX prime. Love the combo. Really feeling the need to get out and shoot stuff!

Having been asked several times if I was going to add the ability to buy photos from my site I have finally got around to testing some solutions. Current solution is a very basic one. Simply add the photograph you want to purchase to the basket and then checkout via paypal. You can see the shop here.

Finally got to do a bit of a walkabout today with the new camera. Interesting test for it as the light was pretty bad. I of course used a tripod and exposures were bracketed. Most were shot at ISO100 f22 slower than a second.
the first 2 were post processed in Lightroom from a straight shot, the next was merged as a HDR image in photomatix then touched up in lightroom.
