Even more than that, how I wished I was somewhere like Sandymount or Ringsend as the sun rose [...]]]> http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2012/01/13/oh-what-a-beautiful-morning/feed/ 2 http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2011/10/09/its-oh-so-quiet/ http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2011/10/09/its-oh-so-quiet/#comments Sun, 09 Oct 2011 12:45:50 +0000 Ronan Palliser http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/?p=7136 It’s been quiet on the blog for the last 10 days because I’ve been away on a summer (autumn?) holiday.  Just arrived back last night and have a busy week ahead with photographic- and non-photographic- related activities, but I will be finding time to update the blog as I go because I have a few [...]]]> http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2011/10/09/its-oh-so-quiet/feed/ 0 http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2011/09/20/found-in-the-drafts-folder/ http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2011/09/20/found-in-the-drafts-folder/#comments Tue, 20 Sep 2011 10:31:10 +0000 Ronan Palliser http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/?p=7109 I just happened to take a look in the “Drafts” folder of posts for the blog last night and found a few images stashed away in there that I obviously had intended to post, but had, for whatever reason, abandoned.  None of the posts had any text – just images, so I’m not really sure [...]]]> http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2011/09/20/found-in-the-drafts-folder/feed/ 1 http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2011/08/30/on-the-salthill-prom-2/ http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2011/08/30/on-the-salthill-prom-2/#comments Tue, 30 Aug 2011 10:40:54 +0000 Ronan Palliser http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/?p=6825 I was in Galway at the weekend – my first proper visit of the summer, and an overdue one.  Friday and Saturday were busy days, but Sunday included time for a stroll along the prom in Salthill, and the traditional kick of the wall at the end of it.  We brought our baby with us [...]]]> http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2011/08/30/on-the-salthill-prom-2/feed/ 2 http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2011/06/09/x100-week-small-far-away/ http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2011/06/09/x100-week-small-far-away/#comments Thu, 09 Jun 2011 13:04:11 +0000 Ronan Palliser http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/?p=5788 One aspect of the Fuji X100 that gave me pause for thought when I was considering acquiring one was the fact that it has a single fixed focal length lens.  Would that be limiting?  Would it restrict composition?  Would it limit the subject matter I could shoot with it?  And at 35mm, would it feel [...]]]> http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2011/06/09/x100-week-small-far-away/feed/ 1 http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2011/04/26/east-pier-dun-laoghaire-2/ http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2011/04/26/east-pier-dun-laoghaire-2/#comments Tue, 26 Apr 2011 11:00:41 +0000 Ronan Palliser http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/?p=5530 I lived in Galway for two and a half years after finishing college and always loved the fact that it was located beside the sea.  I suppose growing up in Cork had got me used to being near the sea, although what with me not being able to swim and having a particularly strong dislike [...]]]> http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2011/04/26/east-pier-dun-laoghaire-2/feed/ 1 http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2011/03/24/guest-post-turning-night-into-day/ http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2011/03/24/guest-post-turning-night-into-day/#comments Thu, 24 Mar 2011 10:46:08 +0000 Ronan Palliser http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/?p=5431 Editor’s Note: This is a guest post by Cork-based photographer Jamie Lawrence, kicking off what I hope will be a series of guest posts over the next couple of weeks as I try to adjust to new sleep patterns dictated by the new arrival.  Jamie has chosen to blog about a stunning image that makes [...]]]> http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2011/03/24/guest-post-turning-night-into-day/feed/ 1 http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2011/03/09/unprocessed-the-quad-ucc/ http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2011/03/09/unprocessed-the-quad-ucc/#comments Wed, 09 Mar 2011 11:10:33 +0000 Ronan Palliser http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/?p=5366 It’s a while since I broke down the processing steps I used to take me from an image straight out of the camera to a final image, and given that I also want to illustrate what the image quality straight out of the Nokia N8 looks like, a post where I go through the processing [...]]]> http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2011/03/09/unprocessed-the-quad-ucc/feed/ 2 http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2011/03/08/nokia-n8-challenge-part-2/ http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2011/03/08/nokia-n8-challenge-part-2/#comments Tue, 08 Mar 2011 12:33:21 +0000 Ronan Palliser http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/?p=5357 Yesterday I wrote about the pre-planning I did for a solo photowalk in Cork last Sunday, where I was tasked to photograph landmarks of the city using only the camera on a Nokia N8 mobile phone.  Today, I promised to show you some photos.  At the bottom of this post is a link to a [...]]]> http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2011/03/08/nokia-n8-challenge-part-2/feed/ 3
