Phone Booth, Dublin. – Exif: 170mm | f/5.6 | 1/30sec | ISO400
A photo from right now, this booth is across the road from my front door. I was out taking photos of the full moon rising (great moon, mediocre photos) and this was the last photo of the night.
I have been going through some images from my Barcelona trip in 2012 again. Here are a few of Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA), the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art.
A view over the icy bogs on Djouce Mountain, with the Sugarloaf peeking out in the distance, and a close up view of the remains of an ice cap over bog.
I bought a flash about a year ago and have unfortunately only got around to experimenting with it on the odd occasion. Sitting it on top of the camera is easy enough (and can get complicated when you start looking into bouncing, diffusing, gels, etc…), but what really interests me is off-camera flash!
So, there was an open invitation on g+ this morning for submissions of black & white photos. I got an idea into my head of making a minimalist image of my bicycle, using the flash to overpower the midday light in my the apartment. After a little post processing and converting to black & white I arrived at the image below. Am I happy with the result? Yes I am. Can I do even better? Absolutely, and looking forward to it! 
Bicycle and off-camera flash
I have visited the Guinness Storehouse, here in Dublin, a few times now – it is a great building to photograph. The below gallery is from my last visit a few months ago.
Deli at Night
A deli, at night in Dublin: Hey, look at that – the first post with the D7000! I have had it a good while already, but have not got around to posting any here yet. Still have loads of photos from the D60 to sort through…
Sun Catch, St. Stephen’s Green
St. Stephen’s Green, Dublin:The lunch time crowds taking in a little sunshine in the park.
The B+W conversion only just beat out the colour version for today’s choice. This version shows more drama in the trees, where the colour version was overwhelmed with shades of green.
