One of the things I love to do when visiting a new location is just to drive a dn look around and see what can be found. Near Skamania, Washington I found an old repair shop and shot a ton of pictures there, some of which I have already posted on this blog. Today is another of a gas pump of all things. I love the old red pump and junk around it. Shot with a GH2 and enhances a bit on my iPad with a few different apps. Kind of cool.
A good friend commented to me yesterday how much she liked my Irish man photo. She said I should photograph more people and show them on my blog. So, I’ll try to show more people pictures. This image is a fisherman from Newfoundland. I did a few years ago but it is a nice images and a great face. I got to thinking that I will do better at taking pictures of people.
I am back home after a long journey yesterday. All messed up with jet-lag but that will resolve itself in a day or so. Have a busy week before heading to China next Wednesday. Today’s image was shot on the street of Killanery of a typical Irishman standing on the street.
The PODAS works shop is now over and oh what a workshop it was. It was a week of a lot of photography, good classroom sessions and lots of fun and laughs. It’s great when you can bring fifteen photographers together from all over the world and share a similar passion. Bidding farewell was bittersweet, but I am sure we all will meet again on a future PODAS workshop. This photo was made with a Phase One P65+ on an ALPA camera with an extreme wide angle lens (23mm). It is a another view from the one published the other day. If you ever get a chance to visit Ireland, you will find a beautiful country with very friendly people. Put it on your bucket list.
This has to be short. We have been going non-stop and I am lucky I can even post an entry. We are having a blast. Very simply an incredible time. Lots of images for the blog for weeks to come.
I can’t even begin to tell everything that has happened on this trip to Ireland. I am having a great time. The attendees on the PODAS workshop are having a blast and all of us are taking and making great photos. The image above is a 30 second exposure taken at Minard Castle Beach. See the Phase One PODAS blog for more details.
This PODAS workshop is going extremely well. Ireland is amazing except for their roads and crazy drivers. Not to mention the steering wheel is on the wrong side and you drive on the wrong side of the road. Add to that I am driving a stick and have to shift with my left hand. In any case we are taking great images but not sleeping. Went to bed at midnight and was up by 3:30 to get to the Dunlow Gap in time to shoot the image above. You can also see more images from the Dunlow Gap at www.podas.info . We have several more days on shooting in Ireland. A new image tomorrow.
This is a short post as I have just a few minutes before heading out to the next part of our PODAS adventure in ireland. This shot was made last night in Bridia Valley, Ireland. It’s a simple shot made with a Phase One IQ 180 on an ALPA camera with a 23mm lens. Just works. Visit www.podas.info for more images.
A new weather term I have learned on this trip to Ireland is unsettled. The weather will be unsettled. This picture defines the term unsettled weather. Rain, sun, clouds and wind all at once. The workshop we are doing is going extremely well. You can follow us at www.podas.info. What an excellent start to the day.
Does it get much better? Nope, tonight was fantastic. This was shot on my iPhone and I also shot many images from tonight’s dusk extravaganza on my Phase One IQ180. Really busy here in Ireland and it will be a great week full of surprises. Enjoying the country a lot. Tomorrow we kick of PODAS workshops. You can follow at www.podas.info my other blog. I have a lot of editing to do on my return trip home.
