Great Weekend

Posted on August 30, 2010 by declan

Peoples Photography is over for another year and it was a great weekend. I met lots of wonderful people who chatted to me about my photos and some people even liked my photos enough to buy some prints. I will upload low-res versions of the photos later this week for those who couldn’t make it to Dublin over the weekend.

A big thank you to everyone that I met over the weekend and especially thanks to those who helped me before and after the event. I’m already looking forward to and planning things for Peoples Photography 2011.

Peoples Photography 2010, almost there

Posted on August 24, 2010 by declan

I’m almost ready for Peoples Photography 2010. Good thing too considering it’s this weekend. The last batch of prints arrived back from the printers today and over the weekend I settled on the technique I will use to hang the photos. I decided to go with a hopefully quicker approach, pre-hanging the mounted photos on black “webbing”. Then I can fold up the display the night before and each morning just unfold it, hang it on the railings and secure the bottom tightly. I’ve seen similar work well for other exhibitors on other years so fingers crossed it works for me.

Tonight the mounting process starts and while time consuming is at least achievable with effort. Then I will select the final 20 to display and the backups to keep in the box in case I get bored of what I have on display. Ok, so maybe I’m not as ready as I could have been if I’d started earlier but I’ll get there before Saturday, fingers crossed.

St Johns Sunset

One evening during my vacation I took a hike along the trail around Signal Hill and The Battery in St Johns. The view is amazing and well worth the effort. The city can be seen through The Narrows with Cabot Tower sitting on top of the hill.

Newfoundland 2010

Posted on August 16, 2010 by declan

I’m just back again from this years trip to Newfoundland in Canada. I didnt get to spend as much time taking photos as I usually do since we were busy trying to organise our wedding next year but I was lucky to get out with my camera for on the two best days of the trip. A weekend spent in Trinity itself was great fun and the town is a beautiful location in the early morning. In St Johns itself I went for a hike around Signal Hill and the view is amazing though the light was hazy and the time of day meant the sun was in most of the best shots, it’s another location that needs an early morning start so I’ll try to visit it again next year. I still have to go through the images but hopefully I’ll have a couple of nice ones to post here.
