Over exposure

Brandon Hill Kilkeny highkey

Brandon Hill Kilkenny is some 515m in hight and offers great views of north east Kilkenny.

This image just like the last one from Brandon hill, was taken in order to experiment with creating an image with as much detail removed as possible. This time however I am using over exposure in order to create a high key image. High key is the introduction of as much bright light into the images as possible thus removing unwanted details.

In pure terms this is overexposure, but used with an effect in mind, In this image its to remove any of the landscape detail behind the trees from about halfway up the image. This helps to make the trees the main feature in this photograph.

I am happy to a point with this image and the effect is interesting, I am going to keep working on compositions that better match. I think if the trees could be placed alone the horizon next time it would be an improvement.

Wet wedding days

Callan wedding

A wet day in Callan : Nigel Borrington

No weddings this weekend, but I noticed one couple did get married in the town. Oh god what a weekend for it, the worst rain we have had for months.

I cannot say that I have ever had to do a wedding in rain like that, lots of snow over the last two winters but wind and rain like that no thank god. As a photographer you cannot expect to do every wedding going nor should you aim to, I cannot help but feel a little relieved that I didn’t get this one!

Brandon Hill, Co. Kilkenny

Friday 21st of October, The Weather forecast for the weekend was not good so I took the afternoon off and walked to the top of Brandon Hill, Co.Kilkenny.

On the way up it occurred to me just how little detail an image needs, yet it can still be of great interest to the viewer. I am going to keep exploring this but I think its to do with contrast and the simple layers that make-up the picture.
