Limerick Bicycle Sunday

Thank you so much to Joe Coughlan of Limerick Corporation for asking me to cover this event. Great weather brought a sea of colour ...and a sea of bicycle enthusiasts. All this celebration of bicycles was not lost on me as I am a long standing bicycle convert.

Managed to get literally hundreds of great photographs but here are just two quick montages. Really looking forward to doing audio visual on this image set...I have a certain bicycle song by the lovely Katie Melua in mind for the soundtrack !

Una and Iain

Spent a very wet but very productive day with Una and Iain in Stunning Glandore, Co. Cork. A massive thank you to Michelle at The Rectory. What can I say but the place really blew me away. In the fifteen years or so doing this job The Rectory has to be one of the finest venues ever.

Very early days on this edit / graphic design, but despite torrential rain there was a really beautiful quality to the natural light which is making for some great portraiture. Once we get rolling on graphic design we will put the merchandise on display !

Red is the colour

As a Chelsea FC fanatic I may be blue to the core but I have to admit that I love the reds in this page layout. Using firstly DPP raw processing then Adobe Lightroom we can really amplify selective colours and get things pretty radiant.

Now finished your work guys see you at the preview session very soon.

Reportage and Natural Light

Its always a buzz capturing pure reportage moments of the day. Here we have a little boy on his nanny's lap doing something....well. Anyway if his mammy and daddy want this sheet altered during the preview session we will be happy to go with their wishes. But me....well I think he steals the show.

The other sheet is from the same wedding. Just a glorious lighting condition indoors and it really shows on the subjects I believe.

Thursday updates

Getting there slowly but surely - basic editing done and now attention turns towards graphic design and audio visual elements of the package.

Work In Progress

Still plugging away on the edit and graphic design of Friday's wedding. Here are two images that I quite like. The performance of the L type Canon lens is absolutely stunning...each and every time.

Teresa and Ray

Between the odd rain drop a great day was had last Friday with Teresa and Ray. Our day started really early and generated some great reportage moments thanks to staff at Velvet Hair Studio.

Later on, and hardly half a kilometer away we brought the entire bridal paty to Funderland.. The great thing about going to a place like this are the really vibrant day glow colours and the carnival atmosphere. Lets face it....not every wedding has an amusement park on its doorstep.

See you soon guys to preview your entire graphic design and to collect your media.

Castletroy Park Hotel

Big thanks to all the crew at Castletroy Park Hotel who make things really easy any time I am working there. Cheers guys !

Spot toning.....

Has been around for donkey's years and is easy peasy when you know how ! Just outside the door of the quadrant in Adare you can make out just about the coolest Bentley Turbo I have ever seen.

Just because....

I love the verdant green of hostas and the the way rain forms in silver pearls.
