My brother Peter is playing with Colm Lynch at the moment as part of his current band The Honeydogs. Last night they played the Button Factory in Temple Bar and they invited me along to take some photographs of the performance. I’ve never had the chance to do concert photography before so I jumped at the chance to have a go.

So here are a few shots from the night. I was having a great time and the music was brilliant too so I took sooooo many photos. I also got to meet a fellow photoblogger which is always a bonus. Kate‘s a bit of a veteran of concert photography having had photos appear in The Ticket no less, so it was very cool to meet her.

So here are just a few that jumped out as I was going over them all, I’ve put a few more up on Flickr. Thanks Donal and Phil for your tips, I can see why you guys enjoy doing this so much!

The View From St. Helen’s

The view of the Irish Sea from St Helen’s Golf Club in Rosslare. Golf clubs always have the best views.

Have a great weekend folks, I’ll be in Temple Bar Music Centre on Sunday taking photos of my brother’s band. I’ll be hopping around all you band photobloggers who do this so well: Donal, Phil, Neil …any tips?

The night before the wedding there was a barbeque at St. Helen’s golf course with fantastic views and the most gorgeous red sunset. Well, I’ll never believe the whole “Red sky at night, Shepherd’s delight” saying because the weather the next day was far from delightful!

A slightly different angle on the Blue Church as everyone piled out for a smoke after the service was finished. I love the little groups of people, especially the old man at the back and the little girl at the front.

Thanks for the lovely welcome back comments yesterday everyone! I should go away and come back more often 😉

Our Lady Of The Wayside

It’s been way too long but I’m back and I’ve actually got photographs! I’ve been holed away in my office for the past month doing the animation thing and it has taken over my life a little bit, not much photography happening. But that was remedied over the weekend when I shot my first wedding and a christening!

The wedding was down in Rosslare on Saturday and I will be posting more about that but first a little something from the christening yesterday in Kilternan at my favourite little church. The Blue Church has been around since the early 1800’s and it’s wooden which is very unusual for Ireland. The christening was beautiful and as I walked to my car the clouds parted and gave me this wonderful view.
