Just spotted this on the Irish Photographers website. Image Supply Systems on Camden Row in Dublin are having an open service clinic for Canon DSLRs of all stripes. So that’s 350Ds to 1Ds. You just drop your camera into them and they will service it for you free of charge! Pretty nifty. It’s running until tomorrow so I don’t know if I’ll get in there but it would be perfect for anyone working in town.
Some more from my time with Fiona, John and James over the weekend. James was a star! At first he was a bit shy with me and didn’t quite know what to make of the strange lady with the camera. Once we brought him down to the sea and he started to throw rocks into the water though he was in his element and he gave me some great shots. He’s really photogenic and I had a hard time choosing my favourites to blog. Here are just a few and of course there are more on Flickr.
Canon 10D 28mm, f2, 1/250, ISO 100
Canon 10D 85mm, f2.5, 1/350, ISO 100
Canon 10D 28mm, f2, 1/250, ISO 100
So what did you do this weekend? I got to take photographs of this gorgeous family 🙂
They’re both bloggers and you should definitely check them out. Fiona blogs at The Waiting Game and John at Stuff, Wotsits and Thingies. They are both excellent writers so go, now, add them to your RSS feed!
They kindly allowed me to walk the socks off them along Greystones beach. The conditions were perfect for photography (overcast) and I hope they had as much fun as I did. Thanks guys!
There are more on Flickr and I’ve saved a few more for tomorrow.
I’m a little giddy at the moment (hence the post at half past one in the morning!), but I just booked a place on a three day photography workshop in Las Vegas for next March! It’s called the Anti-Workshop and is organised by four photographers whose work I have admired and drooled over for ages.
The three days are designed to help photographers develop their own style and give them hands-on instruction on things like lighting and posing, all in a very cool location (downtown Las Vegas) with models. If there was anything like it on this side of the pond I would be signing up in a heartbeat but as far as I have looked into it there’s nothing of this calibre or style outside of America. So after much debating with myself I have decided that life is too short and I’m going to take this jump.
So does anyone have any recommendations on how to get the best price on flights?
These beautiful apples are from the Happy Pear in Greystones, one of our favourite places. They sell fresh, local produce as well as the most delicious food and smoothies. There’s also tapas on Friday and Saturday nights…if you go, you have to try some of José‘s croquets…Yum!
Update on Eve is that she’s doing a lot better. It seems to be some kind of chest infection so hopefully she’ll kick it soon. Thanks for the good wishes!
