Orlaith & Steve (Part 2)

Ronan Palliser — Thu, 17 May 2012 13:10:48 +0000

It’s no exaggeration to say that Orlaith and Steve didn’t stop smiling all day. Literally. Their guests were in no doubt about the fact that they were enjoying every minute of the day. That makes for great photos, of course, and was a nice bonus to the fact that their day took place in Ballymagarvey [...]

Orlaith & Steve (Part 1)

Ronan Palliser — Tue, 15 May 2012 08:04:46 +0000

Orlaith and I know each other since 1999 when we first met at a company where I was on a 6 month work placement and where she was a graduate engineer. A few years later our paths crossed again when my wife took a job with a firm of patent attorneys where Orlaith, coincidentally, was [...]

I is for… ISO

Ronan Palliser — Sun, 13 May 2012 22:10:51 +0000

Part 9 of the A to Z series takes us to the letter “I”, and “I” brings us to the topic of ISO. It really is the obvious choice for I, especially as I know almost nothing about Infra Red photography, but even if there was a plentiful supply of alternatives, ISO would be the [...]

Emma & Shane (Part 2)

Ronan Palliser — Thu, 10 May 2012 08:50:57 +0000

Emma and Shane put a bit of effort into preparing for their first dance, learning a foxtrot to Michael Bublé’s version of Crazy Love that got lots of cheers and applause from the guests gathered around the dance floor, with a special cheer reserved for the “lift” that formed the big finale, as captured above. [...]

And now, in a change to our scheduled programming…

Ronan Palliser — Tue, 08 May 2012 21:50:05 +0000

I was at a meeting in the camera club this evening to discuss the beginners classes that the club runs and I mentioned to one of my fellow instructors that I was doing a 26 part reference series on my blog. At the same time it dawned on me that the next installment was due [...]

Emma & Shane (Part 1)

Ronan Palliser — Tue, 08 May 2012 15:28:32 +0000

Aren’t bank holiday weekends great? I hope you enjoyed yours. I had a lovely one – not only did I get to Galway to catch up with lots of old friends (as in, long standing as opposed to old… although…..!) but I also got to photograph a lovely wedding in a lovely venue. Emma and [...]

Dublin City Skyline

Ronan Palliser — Thu, 03 May 2012 22:08:08 +0000

I had a little treat at a recent wedding when the bride and groom had arranged for a quick stop off at the Clarence Hotel, which sits on the south side of the River Liffey in Dublin, for a very quick photoshoot from the penthouse. It’s a room with a view, if ever there was [...]

National Chamber Choir

Ronan Palliser — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 21:40:23 +0000

A couple of weeks ago I started what I hope will become a long term personal project, and one that will pay photographic dividends not just for me, but for my partners in the project. For a few years now, having been introduced to them through a mutual friend, I’ve been helping the National Chamber [...]

H is for… Histogram

Ronan Palliser — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 15:02:44 +0000

Continuing our A to Z of Photography (a little later than expected this time), we come to the letter H in this, the eighth part of the 26-part series. There are a couple of options for H, but I thought the most important was a mathematical device that many cameras offer photographers to assist them [...]

Sarah & David’s Wedding

Ronan Palliser — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 20:33:49 +0000

When you photograph weddings, it’s probably a dangerous thing to admit you have favourites, but I’m going to take a gamble here and tell you that Sarah and David’s wedding last week turned out to be one of my favourite weddings. There are a lot of factors which influence my own impressions of a wedding [...]
