IPF Distinction

IPF Distinction

While we were in lockdown during the first 100 days of 2021, I applied for the LIPF, the licentiateship of the Irish Photo Federation.

To be awarded, I had to setup a cohesive panel with 10 of my images. My panel and also the ten individual images were judged.

Normally this would be done with 10 prints during a live meeting, but because of restrictions, this was done via Zoom. One judge would check the prints and the other judges checked the electronic version.

The judges would vote anonymously and I’m delighted to say that I was awarded with the LIPF.

Thanks to Fergus Copper and Tommy Quilty, your support is much appreciated.

The panel I entered:

The winter loop

Ireland / Landscapes  Posted by / 2 comments

Coumshingaun Loop

The year 2020 ends with a bang. I was invited by Colm Cheevers to join a group to walk the Coumshingaun Loop. A walk that I have done several times. A pretty tough climb up but you are rewarded with spectacular views. This time the summit was covered in clouds so we knew that the views were very limited. What made it a really tough climb was the strong prevailing wind which made it more challenging. When we started there was a beautiful break in the clouds where we could see the rays of the early sun. When we were up, the landscape transformed in a winterwonderland. It was a white world around us, just stunning. What a way to end this remarkable year !! Thanks to the group for a perfect day and Colm for inviting me.

Crough Wood revisited

As I mentioned in my post of Crough Wood early October, I wanted to revisit Crough Wood again when the autumn colours are most vibrant. Last weekend I went back to this beautiful spot and it didn’t disappoint. Hope you like it too.

Kilfarrasy

One of my favourite beaches along the Copper Coast would be Kilfarrasy. Unfortunately I was not able to go to the coast during storm Aiden early November. When I went the day after, there was still some sting in the tail of the storm. The low sun of this season creates some nice light. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Under a million suns

Astro  Posted by / 0 comments

Under a million suns

There are only a view places in the Netherlands where it gets really dark. In the west there is a lot of light pollution because of the big cities and the green houses. You had to go north, to the islands, or east near the German border. In Ireland there is in general much less light pollution and that gives me the opportunity to do some astro photography. I was always amazed by the universe we live in, hard to imagine the concept of it. Black holes, supernovas, red dwarfs, pulsars, galaxies and all thousands and thousands of lightyears away.

Please find my first results in this series. All pictures where taken with a Nikon D750 with an Irix 15mm, exposure 15-20secs, ISO 3200/6400, f/2.4.

For each picture, a series of minimal 5 pictures where taken. These pictures where blended in Starry Landscape Stacker to reduce noise and than processed in Lightroom and Photoshop.
