Wexford Festival Opera

Hey all, How are you doin?
Over the weekend I attended the opening of the Wexford Festival Opera and there was a small but good fireworks display.The display this year was not as big as it has been in previous years so i did not have that much time to get used to the camera. Here is some of the pictures I took on the night...

I really enjoyed this years fireworks display even though it was small but anyway here they are for your enjoyment and if you feel the need to criticise my work don't hesitate.

Black and White Photography

 Hey everybody how are you doing today?  I was recently out taking picture for this college course I am doing and I was using black and white film, so I could get used to what they might look like I started using my digital. The results I got were amazing to say the least! Up to this point in my photography I have been taking my pictures in colour and I have loved it but since I have started this course in Griffith College Dublin I have really come to appreciate black and white.

Here are 2 pictures that I have taken in the last couple of days that I have compared. These pictures are not identical but have a similar subject, that subject is the old power station in Dublin bay.  And here are those pictures now; first we have the colour one with its blues and greens in abundance!

And then we have the black and white with all its lovely spread of black and white tones. With the B+W I get the feeling that maybe I should print this one up and sell it… but then I think about the colour picture, in this instance  the colour picture is not that great to me it lacks that great sting, that invite to come and look at me.

For now I will leave you with this thought of will I go B+W or colour!

So until next time we meet good luck

Life with Sunsets

Hey everybody, how are you?

Today I would like to talk about the some of the sunsets I have taken over the last few years, I have to admit that I really love sunsets  as every single one is different for example take this one.

This one was taken about 3 years ago when I was coming back from an adventure weekend in kilary harbour I was on a train a few miles outside of Castle bar County Mayo when I looked back and saw the sun setting behind me, I really love the effect I got when I pressed the shutter the way the sun broke into 4/5 pieces so it was a quiet a good experiment. The next one is quite different.

This one I took near my parents’ house in County Wexford just as the sun went down behind a big cloud display; it had been a quiet interesting day cloud wise. In this picture it is amazing the way the sun shows up all the different tones in the clouds and surrounding areas.

This one I love because I like the way the light flare is at an angle and everything has gone a slight shade of yellow and the sun is partially hidden behind some clouds.
