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...

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 impor...

Irish Photographic Federation Audio Visual Championships

So I wanted to challenge myself, to do something new and different. As you all know I love photography, but I also love Videography also. As I check out the IPF(Irish Photographic Federation) website often, I researched what Audio/Visuals(AV) means. The Audio-Visual medium is a great way to tell a story, interpret music, make a documentary, tell about your hobby/interest or anything that captures your imagination, and can hold the attention of both the judges and the audience and get the message across. The IPF AV National Championships takes place in October each year and is usually held in conjunction with the IPF International AV Competition. For my own sequences I used  Pictures2Exe software, which is recognized worldwide. I watched many different tutorials and done hours of research, to try and understand the software as best I could. I only used a small proportion of what the software can achieve. I thought long and hard on what theme and photographs to us...
