Photography Training in London

I truly believe you never stop learning. So, each year, I set aside some time (and money) to attend photography workshops and training. This year, I attended the Societies Photo Convention and classes in London. Overall, I must have gone to about 12 different seminars and classes. Some on different aspects of photography, and some on the business of photography. The photos which follow are a few I took when I had a little free time before returning home again. They were taken in the Trafalgar Square/Chinatown areas – some on a pretty wet evening.

 

You can view some photos taken by me on a portraiture workshop during the same trip here :  Portraiture Workshop Photos

 

Food Photography – Terry Lyons – Masterchef Ireland 2012 Contestant

I recently had the opportunity to take photographs of some food prepared by Terry who has now reached the final of the RTE Masterchef Ireland competition. At the time of posting, I know he’s in the final – the last 3 remaining contestants – but I don’t know who actually wins. So, Good Luck Terry – and also good luck to Nicha and Tamarin. It’s a huge achievement to get this far. Hope they all manage to benefit from the experience.

A Streetcar Named Desire

In recognition of the end of Mardi Gras today in New Orleans, here’s a photo of a streetcar. Sadly, it no longer runs to Desire, so that’s photoshopped in !

Charity CD Cover – Star of Light, Scoil Mhuire Choir, Trim, Co. Meath –

Just a quick mention here for the ‘Start of Light’ CD which was produced by the Schoil Mhuire Choir from Trim Co. Meath (Choir Director : Jane Lynch) where the proceeds are in aid of the SVP.

I was delighted that one of my favourite Christmas photos was chosen by them for the cover. I took this a few years ago, when the tree used to be erected down by the castle. These days it’s in Market St – beside the courthouse.

Christmas 2011 – photos from Dun Laoghaire Pier

Some photos taken from Dun Laoghaire pier – the bandstand was outlined with some Xmas lights (though the protective barriers around it did take away from the impact).
