    Normally we do threads like this of our own stuff but this picture left such an impression on me I just had to start this thread. :)

    Hopefully Lukaty doesn't mind me using his pic, if he does I'll take it down, he's a contact and should be ok with it.

    I've tried to photograph the "harp lady" a few times and to no avail but this picture is brilliant, her expression in her eyes, the colour of her eyes, the angle of the pic...need I go on?

    I will 100% be Nominating him "Best overall photographer" in Photography Awards 2008

    I meant recent pics, I do agree that Valentia is head and shoulders above 99% of people here with his photography skills.
    In fact I was quite honoured he added me on pixie a couple of days ago. :o

    Wow - I just checked out some of his photos on Flickr - excellent stuff. Love the puffin shots


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,067 ✭✭✭AnimalRights


    His Puffin shots are outstanding, he has a pixie account too and they are superb.
    I never get fed up looking at Swan or Puffin photograpgs tbh.

    His last Flickr pic went up Jan 2, 2009. That is recent. The 2007 is part of his Flickr name. :)

    Jazus thanks folks. I don't know where to look :o

    The 2007 referred to above is just one set on Flickr. It is of shots taken on Valentia in 2007. My Flicker name is now Danny O'Brien. As some of you will know I have been out of action for over a year with a serious illness so my photography has been fairly limited. It's only in the last week or so that I have felt anyway back to normal and I hope my productivity improves in tandem with my health.

    As far as photography goes I think I have a long way to go. I'd like to diversify and Fajitas stuff, for example, spurs me on to be a bit braver.

    There are some incredibly talented people here. I find it really interesting to see how many people have progressed into fine photographers over the last few years. Some who joined having never taken pictures before.

    Here is one of my favourites from Pixie: http://pix.ie/carrigman/album/315118

    I love the sense of playful weirdness in it.
