Been really busy working on my thesis, which is a photographic project looking at traditional crafts and trades here in Ireland. It's been a really interesting project so far and as soon as I have it finished and bound for correction... http://sanchospencer.gfxartist.com/artworks/165765 sanchospencer Photography / Figure Well I got up at the crack of dawn to shoot the sunrise so I thought I shouldn't leave out the moon and hurt it's feelings, it's a celestial body too you know http://sanchospencer.gfxartist.com/artworks/163437 sanchospencer Photography / Figure A shot of the lead guitarist from Irish band Two Tales of Woe. I've spent ages going over the shots and i'm not too pleased with them, i thought the 40D would do better. This is one of the workable ones so i decided to go a bit mad on it rather than leave it just a normal gig shot,... http://sanchospencer.gfxartist.com/artworks/161865 sanchospencer Photography / Nature My first post of 2008 and also my first post using my shiny new Canon 40D. I felt it was worthy of a good time so i brought it down the beach to see the glory that is the start of the day and sure enough the sun did not disappoint. I tried HDRing it in Photomatix but it just didn't look... http://sanchospencer.gfxartist.com/artworks/161456 sanchospencer Photography / Architecture Didn't think sunsets existed in urban environments so i was pleasantly surprised to catch this view the other evening on my way home. I used a trusty bench as a tripod. Had to be a quick shot as the area in question is populated by some rather dodgy people. http://sanchospencer.gfxartist.com/artworks/160300 sanchospencer Photography / Nature Finally got another opportunity today to get some "nice" photography done. Bit of a cloudy day so black and white was the only way to go with this one. Hope I didn't overdo the dodging and burning, tis easy to get carried away http://sanchospencer.gfxartist.com/artworks/160215 sanchospencer Photography / Figure Haven't posted in ages, really busy with college work and haven't been able to take any "nice" pictures. This is from a photoshoot I did for the college Style Society (Yes people in my college are that sad) fashion magazine. Never done fashion stuff before so... http://sanchospencer.gfxartist.com/artworks/159715 sanchospencer Photography / Architecture Okay think i've posted enough pictures from Spain for now Back home I went for this one. I can't seem to keep away from this place, it has such a lovely atmosphere. I'm thinking of doing my final year project on a fishing crew based in Howth so i'll keep you updated on that.... http://sanchospencer.gfxartist.com/artworks/156754 sanchospencer Photography / Figure Another shot from the bullfight, lighting is a tad better in this one methinks I like the way it's a really bright colourful image but the blood stains on the cloak add a certain darkness to it. Not sure about the selective desat. one, tis a bit of a cliché methinks so I stuck with the... http://sanchospencer.gfxartist.com/artworks/156575 sanchospencer Photography / Figure Just back from a lovely trip to Spain where I got some really nice photos. On one off our trips we went to a bull fight. Now I know a lot of you are going to say it's cruel but it's a age old tradition and I think we really need to hold onto all our traditions and cultures which are... http://sanchospencer.gfxartist.com/artworks/156237 sanchospencer Photography / Abstract I know it's not a FDNY truck but I think anytime any of us see a fire engine we're reminded of 9/11. I certainly am anyway. I remember i was home sick from school so i saw it all unfolding live on TV. There's been a number of documentaries on television the last few days and they... http://sanchospencer.gfxartist.com/artworks/155380 sanchospencer Photography / Nature I've always hated these little feckers, mainly because they look like big nasty mosquitos. However on discovering a dead one (awwww) I was able to take a closer look and i thought what better way than with my cameras 18-55mm lens fliiped around to make a rudimentary macro lens. Granted... http://sanchospencer.gfxartist.com/artworks/155147 sanchospencer Photography / Nature Shot the same day as The Golden Hour one. yes the sky is real and not pasted in as people have been asking Taken in Howth Harbour just a quick train journey away. I love this place and could spend hours just strolling up and down feeding the seagulls with chips. Haven't got a shot of that... http://sanchospencer.gfxartist.com/artworks/154447 sanchospencer Photography / Nature Sorry about the lack of productivity over the summer. Not only was the weather a nightmare here in Ireland but my camera broke shortly after my trip to Paris in May. It went to camera hospital for apparently 6-8 weeks, ended up being there for 12!!!! So it's been a pretty depressing Summer... http://sanchospencer.gfxartist.com/artworks/154278 sanchospencer Photography / Figure These chaps were entertaining the crowds at the base of the Sacre C'oeur in Paris, we certainly needed it as the elevator up the steep hill was out of order but at least we had some nice background music for the strength sapping ascent. The view from the top though was well worth it.... http://sanchospencer.gfxartist.com/artworks/149740
