Thomas Fitzgerald Photography

Here’s another one from the archive. Best viewed large (click on the image for a large version). I reprocessed it in Aperture 3 which allowed me to bring up more of the wasp than an older one which I had done. The original Image is here – as you can see – it’s quite a departure.

Another image from the Archives. Taken in Kilorglin, Kerry a few years ago. Eos 5D, Straight out of the Camera.

I was going through my Aperture Library after upgrading to 3.0 and I’m finding all sorts of Images I’d forgotten about. I don’t know how I’d missed this one when I was putting my portfolio for this site together.

This is one of of the first pictures I ever took with a digital camera. Well, sorry, with a digital SLR. I took this in 2004 using my then brand new Canon Eos 300D. In fact it was in the very first batch of pictures I took with it, and to this day it remains one of my favorites. If I was to take it again today, I probably would have focussed on the number and not the front, or perhaps even stop down a bit to get both in focus. Still, there’s something about this image that I love. I don’t know what it is. Perhaps it’s just nostalgia. The boat of course is long since gone. The whole area where I took it has dramatically changed in fact, but then I guess this is true of any area in these times.
