New possibilities



Hey ladies and gentlemen, so in February this year, I bit the bullet as the saying goes, and bought myself a new Nikon camera. After having the D5300 for over 5 years, I wanted to upgrade for ages, but kept putting it off. I opted for the D750, after doing some research on full frame camera options. I have to say I really like it so far. Settings wise its not a massive difference, but I can already see the quality of the photos are higher quality. I only printed some small prints so far. 


As soon as I got the camera delivered I went out the same night, to test it out. Under the night sky, I tried some long exposures, and other ideas I wanted to do, in this isolation time we are facing. 



I have taken so many photos since I got the camera. I like to go out at least 2/3, times a week if possible. I think if I left it any longer I'd get lazy. And sometimes I get bored easily. So I like to keep myself busy and active with my photography. Even if its the simplest shot, or something more complex. You're putting the time and effort into taking that shot, to push that shutter. It means something to you. It's a moment captured forever, frozen in time..

  There has been far to many photos to show you all. But it varies from flowers above, to some urbex, nature and landscapes. Only thing I haven't done much of is portraits. But I've loads of ideas to try out soon hopefully. Try some new ideas, even when your stuck at home. The possibilities are endless. I'll add some more photos to this post, and make some more blogs. It's impossible to fit them all in. 

 
                     

   

 


Hope you are all keeping safe and optimistic, in the current Covid-19 era. It's strange times for everyone. Once we are respect the measures put in place, we can get through it together. Take care, and thanks for taking the time to read through my blog post :)

Summer Months

Hey guys, I was reading some of my past blog posts, and I just realized it's been over 3 months since I last posted one. Summer has come and gone so quickly, too quick in fact. To be honest we did get 2/3 weeks of amazing sunshine, so I'm not complaining. So much happened over the past couple of months. As always I've been super busy with my trusty Nikon camera. I took so many new photos, and recorded some new video footage also. In May I finished my Multimedia & Web Development course at  Cavan Institute . It was an amazing 2 years, and to my surprise I received a full 9 distinctions on all my modules, which I was extremely happy with. Onto the next chapter, which in the new year, I'm hoping to start a part time film & Television course in Dublin city...... excited.  I purchased a new Sigma 70-210 macro lens way back at the start of the year also, but I only properly had the chance to test it out during the summer. I'm not gonna lie, macro is somet

My Erasmus + 2018

It's been well over two months since I've returned from 2 weeks, in the stunning Eastern Finnish Town of Mikkeli. I had the opportunity to apply for the  Erasmus +  Programme, as part of my  Multimedia & Web Development   year 2 course at  Cavan Institute .  The Erasmus + Programme is a European funding programme established in 1987, and offers myself and many other university students, the fantastic possibility of studying or doing an internship abroad in another country for a period of at least 2 months and a maximum 12 months. Myself, and two other fellow students from my course Pawel & Shaine, and also two girls called Lauren & Nicole from the Childcare course all traveled to Mikkel, on the 27th of January. We flew into Amsterdam, to get a connecting flight to Helsinki. Our tutor Donna Mc Carron, and Stacy Gardenir also accompanied us throughout. From Helsinki we got 3 trains, and one final taxi to reach our hotel. It was a long day of t

Photoshop and Lightroom Edits

As I have a massive interest in photography, the software and applications I use are just as important as the equipment itself. In my opinion r arely do my photos come out of the camera exactly as I had envisioned. So before uploading to my various social medias, I put my photos through the post processing phase. This is where my raw photos are enhanced, adjusted, toned, and sharpened to give me the final image I wanted to deliver.   The big question is: Photoshop vs Lightroom. The most widely used, and most popular has undoubtedly been Adobe Photoshop, since its first version’s release in 1990. The software has been used by amateurs and professionals alike year after year, and is considered an essential part of most photographer’s editing process. I myself have both programs, and use each equally to edit my photography.  Lets start with Photoshop first With Adobe Photoshop, you can quickly and easily import photos into the software. Once imported, everythin
