Editorial Shoot of German Author Michael Schwessinger

20 minutes of work at Long Strand in West Cork with perfect weather conditions (which is rare in Ireland). This was really a simple shoot done with very little gear (camera, a 50mm prime lens, and a silver reflector). Using less equipment always helps channel my creativity.

The beginning of something wonderful

Dunmanway Landscape

Hey Internet Buddies!

This is my very first blog entry so please excuse all the emptiness the blog has to offer.

Essentially, I’ve decided to use this blog to give my hobby in photography a little momentum, not necessarily in a commercial sense, but rather in the hope that that it lets me review my work in an organised way,with the added benefit of using the blog as a portal to share some thoughts and ideas on all things photography and image post-processing.

Above you’ll find one of my more recent images, a landscape I took close to the town I live in, here in the West of Ireland. It’s a manual HDR image in that it’s made up of 3 individual exposures which have been combined in photoshop using masks and plenty of brush work. This is pretty much my preferred technique when it comes to landscape photography, which when coincided with the use of a polarizer and a decent grad filter, can really bring out a natural-looking image.

I love critical feedback (productive of course), so if you have any comments then get typing!

For a broader sense of my style please feel free to check out my portfolio at www.christianhaubold.com or my photo stream on flickr

Cheerio for now
