January Updates

Infrared at the Beach

After a hectic Christmas period and my trip away, I managed to find some time to update the gallery pages of the web site last week.

I have just uploaded the new galleries: additions to the main kids, babies and families gallery; two new Ireland galleries including the ‘Best of the Blog’ images from 2009.

Enjoy…

Rocky Bay IR

Unbelievably, yesterday was our first trip to Rocky Bay this year.  I’d forgotten how lovely it is out there.

More Infrared sensitive camera work here, it doesn’t work quite so well for the family portraits though!

Capwell Post Office

Walking along Douglas St today I noticed that the rennovations to the old Capwell Post Office and surrounding buildings are nearing completion.  While the facade of the old building remains, its character is quite different to how it stood a year or so ago:

The Old Capwell Post Office (extended Infrared)

The slightly spooky look of this image is due to the use of a film with extended sensitivity to Infrared (Kodak HIE).  I like the dramatic look this creates and its uniquely suited so some aspects of the Irish landscape (in this example, the urban landscape).

Look out for a gallery of this work from 2007 coming soon.

I still have some HIE in the freezer and want to do more of this stuff again when the weather improves (I’m always seeking potential locations).  There is also a way to do this digitally but that’s another project…
