Day 19

Well a first for me, tonight it is a view of me in front of the camera. Yes a self portrait, never done this before. In fact have done very little portrait’s. Something I would like to do in the coming future, but a few things to finish first.

A single speedlite and soft box.

Thank you for viewing.

Day 18

Right so out of work today while there was daylight left. I drive around to a local lough (loch)  just has the light was getting to the golden hour. After all the heavy rain I knew the water level would be high, and with a strong wind blowing the chance of a few good photographs were on offer. Just has I arrived there and got the camera set up an other car drew up and a young woman got out with a black Labrador dog.  The dark clouds started to fill the sky at this time. Throwing a stick for the dog to fetch, I asked if she would mind if I took some Photo’s . So here is my photo for today.

So meet Bernie.

So thank you to Bernie and owner, a pleasure to meet you both.

And thank you for viewing

Day 17

Close up was the order of the day, found a small dead Millipede in some fine sand in the  potting shed. Was looking for a close up subject and saw the sand. Got a bottle cap and filled it up. When I emptied it there was my photograph.

The object on top is a human hair to add scale to the picture, the small rocks is fine sand  particles. Enjoyed the challenge of this photograph.

Thank you for viewing.

Day 15

False vision.

Thank you for looking. Thnak you for looklng.

Let us all remember those that lost there lives in Paris and across the world at the hands off others.

Day 14

Circuit of life.

Buttons, touchscreens and mobile live’s

Listen, snooping for online lies.

Technology moves, privacy diminishing.

Buy online, get bombarded

Then every few months

Get restarted.

Circuit of life

Thank you for viewing

Day13

Down in Co.Kildare this evening, heavy rain showers and the light of day sinking into the darkness of night. Just has the rain eased and the sun dropped below the horizon, I pull over as Carbury Castle was just coming into view. Using a 70 – 300mm lens I grabbed a couple of photographs. So this is my Photograph for today.

Carbury Castle, Co.Kildare

Thank you for viewing.

Day 12

Rains fall on car parks here

Leaving mirrors with sunken leaves

Trees stand naked in the breeze

Past and present captive share

A glimpse of time

showing

there.

A moment in time

 Thank you for reading.

Day 11

Not a great day for lying around a garden, the wind blowing a gale. Rain for most of the day, then out come’s a bit of late evening sun and me. I lie on a canvas cover and get a few photograph’s before the cold drives me back to the heat of the house. So here’s my pick for today.

Thank you for looking.

Day 10

A little fun tonight, saw this little  wooden chicken in mum’s kitchen. Borrowed it and the egg and played around with a speedlite fitted with a small softbox. A led ring lamp set off to one side and the speedlite handheld I tried out different power  setting and light placements.

Woody’s egg

So this is my photograph for today, thank you for viewing.

Day 9

Being late in and the wind blowing a mini storm out I was sitting in the  kitchen having a coffee. Spotted a jar with grains and pulse’s in it. Out with the camera and extension tubes, a ring light and the result below. Nature gives us so much in pattern, texture and colour, it’s when we look closer that its shows it’s beauty.

Grains and pulse’s
