Ireland

This year (2016) has been limiting and I have only been able to do a few photo shoots. Therefore, I have been revisiting my digital photo archives and processing and reprocessing images from the past. These photos were taken in Ireland with my first digital camera, using very basic software. I selected about twenty images for a project that would portray a feeling of medieval Ireland using fine art images. The number of images was reduced to ten that would best fit my vision. I tried a number of post processing techniques to find one that would give me a fine art image consistent with the time in history that I was looking for. After a number of failed attempts, I settled on a processing that resembled a hand sketching on vintage paper. I thought of making a small book that was similar to an artist’s sketch book with one image on each page. Another idea was to make canvas prints and frame them using a vintage style frame. For this web display I created a simple mat for the images. Thanks for your interest in this project; hope you enjoyed the view.
