Time for a change...

noreply@blogger.com (Alan Rossiter) — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 18:36:00 +0000

You may have expected to see my Pixelpost site when coming through this link but I've decided (perhaps only temporarily) to abandon this. I don't take as many photographs and feel that my work...

noreply@blogger.com (Alan Rossiter) — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 21:01:00 +0000

3 mental sons, stuck in front of a TV fighting over who was on the PS3 next. An idea - go see the whales that have been reported off Hook Head. So 3 kids, wife, 2 cameras and off we went. As soon as...

Film...the story so far...

Film Photography

noreply@blogger.com (Alan Rossiter) — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 10:00:00 +0000

"I'll never take up film photography" It's funny how statements from the past come back to haunt you. I gave this statement about 18 months ago on Photography Ireland and got a few retorts that put...

Woodstock, Inistioge, Co. Kilkenny. I'd never been there before and didn't know what to expect. "There was a house" was all I knew. I'd seen recent images of flowers...so there were flowers too....

Kilmore Quay, Wexford Ireland. I had a need to use a polarizer on my lens earlier in the day when I took these shots. It was the first time and I liked what it did to images. So armed with this and...

Smile for the Birdie

noreply@blogger.com (Alan Rossiter) — Fri, 29 May 2009 17:06:00 +0000

Street...where would you be without the candidness of people. Like animals in their own habitat they do the silliest of things. This shot isn't silly...just think of the concept of a photographer...
