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.

I am finally getting around too finishing this blog post, I have been so busy since then i just didn't have a chance. During the week of the 12th of August people around the word were treated to the pressed meteor shower. After the first night I went out to have a look I decide it would be a nice time to try out some Astro photography.

This was one of the funnest type shoots I have done, the cold, clear August night really helped letting us all see this wonder. Capturing the stars alone isn't easy, but capturing a meteor streaking across the sky is a whole other ball game. The meteors are only in the sky for a second or two and in random locations around the sky making it even more tricky to capture the shots. I hope you enjoy looking at these photographs as much as I did capturing them. All the shots below are available as fine art prints, simply use the contact form at the bottom of the page to get a quote for a once off print.
