022/365 Look really closely, what do you see? You might just be able to make out me… in my pyjamas! I was trying to get a semi-decent self-portrait out of this but it just wasn’t happening. Wrong lens, wrong light and all a bit too rushed. You see, I had a totally different photo lined up for today - one with rain, and umbrellas and a starburst coming from a streetlamp. But when I got home and looked at it, I realised that it was actually terrible!
So I decided to take this last minute photo of a perfume bottle. I love how reflective it is. I will have to try and get a better photo from it later down the line.

The moon is a great subject for landscape photography. During the full moon period in December 2009, I was in Williamstown spending Christmas with my sister and her family.
One particularly clear (and cold!) evening, close to midnight, I went out to see if I could do something with the moonlight and the trees.
I was not successful in my attempts to photograph the sort of image I initially had in mind, but was taken by the way the trees in this spot appeared to be reaching out for the moon and grasping at it.
There was nothing for it but to angle the tripod up and make an image! I'm quite pleased with the result, especially as you can see Orion quite clearly in the bottom left of the frame.

Shot just before sunset so the light was just hitting the top of the tree...lovely :)

I have four photos up for auction for Haiti. Please read my profile here:http://pix.ie/valentia for all the details. It would be wonderful if you would consider putting in a bid on one of them. Thanks.

The shutters are down but there's whispers of green shoots. Dublin 2010.
