And the mist falls – Velentia Island, Kerry, Ireland
My wife surprised me with a weekend in Kerry for my Birthday last September, more then that it was to be a photography weekend. I know, she’s cool! I have shared a number of images from this particualr location a while ago but I came acorss this image while reviewing my back catalog of work [...]
One from the Archives | Light in the Forest – Dublin Mountains, Ireland
Another image from the archives although not so far into the hazy past as the last image I shared with you. This was captured during a wander around a forest located in the Dublin mountains in July 2008. I remember being very excited at the time as I was out with my brand new camera, [...]
Glenmacnass Waterfall, Co Wicklow
While we are having some glorious Spring weather here in Ireland I decided to take a trip out to Glenmacnass Waterfall near Laragh in Co Wicklow. If you have seen any of my images of the upper lake in Glendelough you might have noticed this waterfall in the background. The top image is taken from [...]
Snow Capped Peak – Glendelough, Co Wicklow
This is from the same recent trip to Glendelough, Co Wicklow that I described in the “Just Before Dark” Images. However this was several hours earlier. We still have the same overcast sky with pockets of harsh light penetrating some of the area’s with lighter cloud area. When shooting this image I had Black & [...]
Sheep Grazing – Valentia Island, Co Kerry
This image was captured just moments before my recently uploaded panoramic “View Across The Water”. I love the contrast between the sheep in the foreground happily grazing while this incredible vista lies behind them. © John Dunne 2007 ~ 2010 ~ All Rights Reserved No usage allowed in any form without the written consent of [...]
View Across The Water – Valentia Island, Co Kerry
The 2nd image from my recent trip to the Ring of Kerry. This is a stitch of 3 handheld images taken during some fleeting sunshine on Valentia Island looking back on to Portmagee. The rugged cliffs of the west of Ireland are in complete contrast to what we find here on the east and something [...]
Harsh Life – Orihuela, Spain
Another image from my recent trip to Spain, this was take in an Olive Orchard. Taken while the sun was at it’s peak there was way too much contrast to produce a colour image. However as so often when shooting at this time of day that high-contrast can produce a striking Black & White. I [...]
Pale Light – Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin
Another experiment with Painting with Time using long exposures. I got stuck in traffic and arrived in Dun Laoghaire just as the sun was dipping below the pier. This left me with a very cool light which I think worked well in this image. I used a 0.6 & 0.9 ND Filters to extend the [...]
Last Light – Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin
Well eventually had a chance to take the 5D out for a spin and popped down to Dun Laoghaire during civil twilight. I have been fascinated by some images recently that use a method known as “painting with time” by choosing very long exposures. This is the first attempt at this although with only a [...]
A Trip to Amsterdam
Been a while since my last update. Took a nice 5 day trip to Amsterdam and managed to take a handful of half-decent photo’s so thought I’d upload them. We were so lucky with the weather, beautiful blue sky’s and 22deg. Wow what a very flat country! This post has been kept for posterity but [...]
