Kyle Tunney Photography: Dream Result World Tour – Dublin

§ March 12th, 2010

Dream Result World Launch - Dublin

Last night The Great Outdoors put on a great show – They hosted the launch of The Dream Result Movie. I haven’t seen so many paddlers in the one place, so far away from water in quite a while (ps, WHERE the hell is all the water?). If you weren’t there you can see the trailer at the bottom of this post, some epic kayaking!!

Can’t beat paddlers

You just can’t beat paddlers, they have to be one of the best type of folk on this green earth. The energy and atmosphere was brilliant.

Kyle Tunney Photography: Fun Plane Processing

§ March 10th, 2010

Abstract Sky, a plane goes into space
I took this shot at sunrise yesterday and thought I’d go a bit crazy with the processing of the shot. I quite like the abstract photo in the end!

A before/after of the Abstract Sky photo

What processing in photoshop did I do?

This is the orginal photograph - Straight from camera

In camera raw I only changed the temperature/white balance by 400 as I shot in camera WB of ‘cloudy’. Now in photoshop:
dublicated the background layer
- Dodged the two planes/lines in the sky
- Added a ‘Color Negative’ curves adjustment layer
— Changed this layer to screen @ 20%
- Made a levels adjustment layer just for this layer
- Added a ‘Cross Process’ curve ajustment layer
—Change this layer to ‘Linear burn’ and you’re all done!!

Photoshop Video tutorial

Here’s everything I’ve done in a short video tutorial It’s pretty fast but afraid I don’t have the time at the moment to redo the video)

Any questions, Just ask!

Kyle Tunney Photography: Fourty Foot Sunrise

§ March 9th, 2010

TOP of the morning folks, it sure is a beautiful day. We’re getting spoilt with all the lovely sunrise/sunsets the past week. This morning was no exception, I was out at the 40 foot in Sandycove by 6.30am. After about 25 minutes I was starting to get a bit impatient and thinking about leaving Within a minute of an amazing red orb of light started to protrude over the horizon.

40 Foot Sunrise, Sandycove, Ireland

Amazing Sunrise

Within seconds of the sun peaks its head birds started to flutter and swoop all around, what a magical morning!!

Kyle Tunney Photography: Wintry Water Self Portrait

Wintry Water Self Portrait - Kyle Tunney

Picture this!

It’s a fine wintry February day, the ground and cars are frozen over in the morning. Then there’s me standing out the back garden with nothing but shorts on.
Some say Stupid, I say fun
Some say lunatic, I say adventurous
Some say brrr, it’s cold!! – I say it’s worth it

It’s all in the name of a great photo. This is the first shot from this batch, I hope to get out the back sometime this weekend to retake the shot, this time I won’t leave till I get the exact shot I have in my head!!! Water isn’t the easiest to work with, I tried tempting it with chocolate and sweets but it was having none of it.

Anybody have any suggestions on how to get water to play nice?

Kyle Tunney Photography: Fun Dublin Pano – 98 shots

§ February 25th, 2010

Large Panoramic Photograph outside Trinity College Dublin - Dublin City Centre

This is a fun pano from two years ago, it’s been a long time since I’ve tried these and I used to love doing them. I think it’s time to get back into them!! The end photo is the collaboration of ninety eight, yup, a 98 photo panoramic stitch. Still not as impressive as my 60 pano stitch that you can zoom into or the 17 image pano HDR photo in the snow (Boy that took a while!). I’ve also changed the way in which I process them. Two years ago this would have been a seamless, perfect, flattened looking shot. Almost unrecognisable from a non pano shot apart from the fact you can see it’s a 360 degree angle of outside Trinity and Dublins old central bank. I’m looking forward to taking lots of new shots like this in the next few weeks!!

Have you ever done anything like this before? I’d love to see some of yours!
