Kells - A Portrait of A Community

Kells, A quaint, picturesque village in the heart of the Kilkenny countryside. Set on the banks of the Kings river and back drop to the 12th Century Augustine priory. I spent the summer taking photos of this wonderful place so this blog has been a few months in the making, I want the photos to do the talking in this one. Fore the techies and photographers like me all images were captured using a Hasselblad 500C/M with various types of film both in date and expired.  All images viable for print on request.

Fine art - Flowers

Sometimes beauty can be seen in the simplest of things. Here is a selection of flowers that I have shot.  All the shots below were captured using a Mamyia M645 medium format film camera.  The monochrome shots were taken on Kodak Tri-X and the colour shots on an out of date roll of Fuji Provia Slide film.  Shooting out of date film has given the film a strange washed out look, along with a strange but interesting  colour cast.
