Sometimes the light hits just right. 5D Mk III with 24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM lens. ISO 100, f/7.1, 1/100 sec.

Towards the end of October I met up with a group of Instagram enthusiasts from Arizona for a photo hike through West Fork Trail in Sedona.  I am against posting DSLR shots on Instagram (lest it become like every other photo sharing website and lose what is special about it) but I took my DSLR camera along with […]

Okay, so it’s a bit strange to be taking pictures of a machine that was made to take pictures but I am fascinated by old cameras and can’t help myself.  It was a challenge to find a nice composition for such a boxy subject but I think I like what I came up with.  I […]

So I couldn’t think of a creative title for this one.  I really like this scene though and I’m excited to share it.  Click here to see Watson Lake #1. 5D Mk III with 24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM lens. ISO 100, f/7.0, 1/640 sec.

Watson Lake has become one of my favorite places in Arizona to photograph.  I love the surreal rocky landscape.  You’ll likely see many more shots from this area of Prescott because I can’t stop myself from going out there every time I’m up North. 5D Mk III with 24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM lens. ISO 100, […]

Well, I think I’ve finally reached the end of my Ireland photographs.  I may decide to post a few others down the line as I look at them again with fresh eyes but for now I’ve posted all of the ones that I thought worthy. My next series of images come from a few different […]

This shot was taken in Craggaunowen Castle in County Clare, Ireland.  Spirals are a very strong design element so I couldn’t resist looking back down after climbing three stories up this narrow stairwell to capture it. 5D Mk III with 24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM lens. ISO 400, f/4.0, 1/60 sec.

Here’s another shot from my travels in Ireland last summer.  This one features the coast of Quilty in County Clare.  I don’t normally like having the horizon line dividing my composition in half but I liked the detail in the clouds as well as the seaweed so I had to get them both in there. […]

Today’s post features a shot of Antoin MacGabhann and Johnny Óg Connolly playing a few tunes outside of the Fahy-Carnevale wedding in New Quay, Ireland this last summer.  This was a spontaneous shot so it’s not a picture of technical perfection by any means.  When I first saw the guys playing I was so captivated by the […]

It’s been a while since I added a new post to my blog so I figured I’d pull out another shot from Ireland.  This scene isn’t exactly authentic though; it was taken in Folk Park which is an attraction at Bunratty Castle that is set up to show the different styles of Irish dwellings from the 19th […]
