Rachel & Matylda V, originally uploaded by eibrandr.

Rachel and Matylda were brought together at the end of the session, and the two of them worked really well together.
There was no hesitation between them, they seemed to flow into each other and complemented each other really well.

It was a surprise to find out after the shoot that they had in fact never worked together before!

Rachel – Portrait, originally uploaded by eibrandr.

Out of all the shots from last nights outing, I think this is my favourite.

Sure it could be anywhere, and not specifically in the hauntin Wicklow Gaol, but it just works for me. I look forward to doing more work with Rachel.

This shot was taken on Sunday morning when I woke up at stupid o’clock (6am on a sunday…).

I was up, and while having my cup of coffee, looked out the window. The sky was relatively clear, and I figured that I had time to get to Dun Laoghaire to grab some sunrise shots.

The initial location I had thought of, by the martello tower was not the greatest, and although the colours were good, there was nothing I was able to capture that would make me happy. On top of that I had fears that my camera was going belly up, as the shutter mode had changed, it would not auto focus and other foibles had me worried.

Until I realised that is, that these were all the settings I had used when trying a tethering app for my D60 on Ubuntu (gtimelapse is the name). So got over that and switched to manual all the way …

I left that spot, and thouht of Dalkey quary, where I used to go climbing many moons ago now… I walked up to the top, and the sunrise was still nothing that got me. As I decided to walk back to the car, I saw the little enclosure pictured here. Something about this grabbed my attention, so I snapped away. It was not until this evening that I realised that I had seen something in this – just had to work on it a little – and here you go!

I was going through some of favourite pics from Treasa and Drews Wedding, and this one hit my eye as something that could do with a revisit, and this is the result

I took this shot last week, but perhaps it is more fitting with the current thaw we are having.
