L&H porn debate

The L&H's annual porn debate was last night, so I brought my camera along. The lighting in the theatres is always really tricky, so these are a mix of flash and natural ones. Bouncing the flash off the ceiling normally gives a much nicer look than pointing it straight at people (because the light looks more natural instead of the overly bright/ shadowy look you get with a normal flash). The problem in those theatres is that the ceiling is brown, so if you try that you get very brown people (and not in the way that fake tan attempts to make them!

You might have noticed that there haven't been that many new photos around here lately. That's in part because I've been working away and quite tired, but more so because the weather has been miserable any time I've been around to go out! I thought there was going to be a nice sunset the other night, but it didn't turn out that well. Just took a couple of shots of the glow after it had gone down instead from the West Pier in Dun Laoghaire.

A picture!

Canon 5D 17-40 F4L


This is one from the Swiss Alps taken in May. There's something about the slope and sweep of it that really appeals to me. I took all the photos on that holiday in black and white as a bit of a challenge! The snow really lends itself to B&W with really strong contrasts between light and dark.

I've decided (with more than little cajolement) that it's time to bring this blog back to life. Here's a photo to get the ball rolling. From Dun Laoghaire Pier in April this year. It wasn't a great sunset until the sun went down, but then the clouds really started to glow.
