Surfing Session

We were blessed with a day of Summery weather in the middle of Autumn. Instinctively, Mum and I decided to go out for a session of surfing, I took my waterproof camera with me, hoping to get some nice pictures.

The following images are highly edited because the shots straight from the camera are no good and I felt like going for a vintage look would suit.

 

Camping trip with breathtaking views.

Ireland truly is beautiful.

This may be hard to see for people who have been living here for years, we only see the bad side of Ireland and take the beauty of this country for granted. It's probably the same for everyone in other countries. I would love to see New York I think it's a beautiful city, it looks beautiful from the photos anyway, but I doubt the citizens of NY would agree with me. I don't know.

In the short time that my cousin is over in Ireland with me, we had enough time to go on a camping trip! We went to a place called Wave Crest which is situated in the Ring of Kerry. Kerry is a very mountainous county, so we knew we were in for some breathtaking views.

And we were right.

Just the drive there had us in awe of all the mountains around us. Personally I'm not a country type of guy, I prefer living in cities but I don't shy away from nature either because there are some great photos to be taken there. We got very lucky with the weather, it was sunny with some clouds floating here and there, and it was warm.

In the evening we went to the beach which was a short drive away. That's where I took most of the photos that are in this blog. It was a wonderful evening, a warm splendid summer evening with gorgeous views all around us. The sun threw a bright yellow light on the mountains above and the sparkling waters below. What more could you want?

Shooting in the woods.

Back in Ireland.

After two rapid months of warm and cold summer days in Lithuania, I am back. All summer I imagined to myself that the weather here will be miserable, I was counting on the worst. Luckily it isn't as bad as it could be. This summer was the warmest for Ireland in years, and it sure isn't ending this August. Not yet anyway.

My cousin Veronica is really like a traveller at this stage. She and her family have come to visit us in Ireland, from Israel, to Lithuania, to Ireland. That is a hectic way to spend your summer holidays abroad! I was over the moon about that anyway. I get to see my beloved cousin for another week, before we don't see each other for a whole year. I should start planning on visiting them in Israel sometime soon, that would be cool.

Now I believe I should say something about what exactly this post is about.

My cousin and I decided to have another photoshoot. A location I've had in my mind for a while are the woods that are right next to my house. It's a really cool place with interesting geographical features. In places, it has large emtpy spaces spanning from very low ground to very high ground. All covered by trees.

That same day we bought a shirt which was on sale in Topman and it suited the surroundings extremely well. We were so lucky with that purchase. 

Something that we were very eager to achieve was beautiful bokeh. A blurred background with unfocused circles of light looks so pretty, and it suits 'fashion' shoots like this one (even though it only featured one piece of clothing). I figured out how to get nice bokeh completely by accident. What I did was walk far away from the subject being photographed, and zoom in to achieve a blurred background.

All the photos have been edited with Photoshop Lightroom by me.

Extra photo outside of the woods that has been getting quiet a lot of credit.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures! I have more posts planned out, they will be posted soon. 

Photoshoot in Vilnius.

Hello there readers, I am alive indeed, but since I came back to Ireland my desire to blog has faded away, but today I decided to get myself together and post some more for you.

In my first post, I mentioned my dearest cousin Veronica. She was the person that made me fall in love with film photography. We share many similar interests and one of them is photography, so she is a great person to talk to. Once again this year she arrived to Lithuania with her Nikon D3200. We decided to try and do a photoshoot in the city.

Planning the shoot was hectic. The night before we took out all the clothes we had and tried to match different outfits for both of us. We only had a limited amount of clothing so it was difficult. Luckily some girls buy men's clothes therefore I could wear some of her clothes. We matched and tried on many outfits before we came to a crude conclusion. It was difficult and we were tired from ice-skating that day. We both had just two outfits picked out, two different styles.

Soon after we arrived in the city centre, we got tired. Our bags were full of clothes and it was difficult to take pictures quickly. Also the size of the city tired us. We just couldn't get to all the lovely locations in Vilnius in one day but we did the best we could.

This was our first time doing something like that, so the pictures are far from good, but we tried our best and had great fun. I edited the photos in Photoshop Lightroom.

These are some extra photos that I took on the day. All of them also edited with Lightroom.
