First Ten Years < 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 >

Finally, a very recent photograph from Ireland. I talked to local friends and acquaintences, and someone recommended Howth, which is a short DART train ride north-east of Dublin. A sleepy fishing town in winter, it has numerous captivating photo opportunities. The weather was quite cool, but sky was mostly clear and there was no rain - a rare opportunity this time in the Irish year.

This is taken with a wide angle prime lens, three bracketed vertical shots, handheld. Such projects are not normally recommended to be shot handheld, but shooting a wide angle lens meant there's less chance of motion blur. I was also able to brace my elbows on a fence. Parallax error was not an issue despite the close proximity of foreground objects. I've always been skeptical whenever someone tells me something can't be done. Bold action brings the best rewards.

The boats were so bright that I ended up toning down their color a bit to make this more believable - the orange boat was practically fluorescent!

 

That is a small collection of some of my favorite images from the first ten years. I'm looking forward to the next ten, and have some new projects and directions I'm taking with my photography.

Thank you for your interest, and drop me a line with feedback!
