Been working at the American apparel Rummage sale the past few days. been quite an interesting experience but i have gradual fallen behind at uni. still today before my ten hour shift i managed to get into the studio for a few hours. this is one of the photos.
RW.
Today started out great, it was steady at work but not as overwhelming as it's been lately. I ate Honey Nut Cheerios for breakfast which I haven't had in months and they were great. I caught up on some phone calls, checked off some of my to-do's, and felt productive. After work I jumped in the shower to get ready for small groups at church. As I was in the shower my mind started thinking about this week's topic at church....marriage. It was already difficult sitting through the message yesterday at church and since the small groups are pretty much a continuation of that I didn't feel like going. I went back and forth on going because I made a commitment to attend all seven weeks of this 'Going All Out' campaign but realllly didn't want to hear more about how to strengthen my marriage. As I was having a tug of war in my mind I could feel my good mood just wash down the drain with my shampoo.
I got out of the shower, dried off and instead of getting dressed I put on my sweats and slippers. I guess my decision was made. I sat on the bed and chatted with God to help me get out of my funk. I thought about calling my mom, my sister, or a friend...but figured I didn't want to push my bad mood off onto them. As I was asking God to help me all I kept hearing was water running. I sat here obsessing about all the things I'm behind on and every once in awhile kept getting side tracked by running water. WHAT ...IS... THAT! A few minutes later I realized it was my oldest taking a shower. I had my youngest go tap on the door and tell him to get done and I went back to thinking and sulking about my bad evening. A lot of time later I was still hearing the water running and my temper started to escalate. I sent my youngest to knock on the door a second time thinking ... ok, he's going to get the hint now. Nope. More minutes went by and by then I was in full irritation mode. Finally he got done and headed to the kitchen to do the dishes (from last night).
As I walked down the hall all I saw was the water running in the kitchen sink while he bopped out to his iPod. MORE gallons of water just floating away..... UGH!! I got to the kitchen and launched into the full ...."Do you know how much water/gas/electricity costs?" speech. He just stood there and I could tell he felt bad. Then I felt even worse. I quickly made dinner, ate and decided to head to bed early.
As I'm writing this just now I realize when my energy started to turn. It was the thought of talking about marriage, hearing about marriage, discussing marriage.... and I don't want any part of it at the moment. Being married is wonderful. I love being married. Heck, I'm still married but I know it's coming to an end. That upsets me. So am I cheery? No. And I'm ok with skipping tonight's small group. This is what I need to do to get through this. One day at a time and today this is the choice that's best for my forward moving progress.
I still love Cheerios, and yes I did apologize to my son for the 'extra' frustration that came through about the running water. The end, good night.
From the very beginning of the show...
Tutorial Tuesday – Concert Photography
Before we start the tutorial, I should finish my story about how I got into the Pumpkins’ sold out show in the first place. Ebay? Nope. Craig’s List? Try again. Stub Hub. Not a chance. Scalper? Couldn’t find any.
I was at home, roughly 50 miles from the venue, Ovations at Wild Horse Pass, and feeling sorry for my self. Someone on Twitter said I could sit at home and wonder if I would get in or I could drive down there and find out. My wife literally pushed me out the door, and I was off. After stopping for gas and cash, I proceeded to set the North American land speed record so I wouldn’t miss the entire opening act, “OK Go”.
As mentioned above, I couldn’t find any scalpers… anywhere. I was beginning to get that feeling that I just drove all this way like a maniac for nothing. Then I saw the Ticket window and there wasn’t anyone in line (go figure for a sold out show, right?). I walked up and asked if by some chance there were any single tickets available. The ticket salesperson looked left and right, and said “Why yes, we do.” “How much” I asked. “Merry Christmas, you are going to love the seat” she said and passed the ticket through the window. I must have had a stupid look on my face because she said I better take it and walk away before she changes her mind. Still somewhat in disbelief I grabbed the ticket.
Once inside I see that Ovations is very small and discover it only seats 1400. Intimate. I ask for directions and I am pointed in the direction of the stage. Sweet. 6th row? Nice. Aisle seat right next to the sound and lighting boards? Perfect.
So, I went from sitting on my duff at home and sulking to being in the 6th row, center right and in the aisle for my favorite band. I sat down just in time to hear OK Go do an amazing version of “This Too Shall Pass” with lots of crowd participation. It was going to be a good night…
On to the tutorial…
There are many awesome concert photographers, Jared Polin and Zack Arias come to mind, and they will have much more in depth information and have a much larger body of work. I am going to provide a tutorial from the “fan bringing in camera” perspective as opposed to the “band hired me to shoot the show” perspective. As an initial starting point, you need to know how to change ISO, metering mode, shutter speed, aperture, and shooting modes on your camera on the fly. You don’t want to be fumbling with your camera trying to find a particular menu as the band rocks on and you are missing shots. Also, shoot RAW. You want to have white balance and exposure flexibility in post.
First, you need fast glass; 2.8 or lower is a must. You are going to be in low light conditions and need to hit in excess of 1/100 of a second at a minimum to freeze motion. I went with my 50mm 1.8 for two reasons. One it is my fastest lens, and two it is small. I didn’t want to come in with my 28-75 2.8 and risk not getting in because they mistook me for a professional based on lens size. If you use a lens hood, put it on backwards to help minimize the apparent size of the lens.
Second, set your ISO as high as you can comfortably get away with knowing you are going to do NR in post production. I went with ISO 2000 at the start, dropped to 1600 after a bit and finally settled in between 400 and 800 depending on the lights for that particular song. If your camera has a variable mode you can use that as well. In this mode you specify your minimum shutter speed and the camera will try and get that speed by lower aperture first, and then increasing ISO to a pre set maximum.
Third, change your camera to spot metering mode. Some folks will say to use matrix mode, but I rarely get decent results this way. My thought is that with all the lighting variables on stage at a rock concert I want my subject, typically one of the musicians, to be properly exposed with the remainder of the stage being a secondary concern. Flash is almost always useless, plus you can get into trouble and asked to leave or stop taking pics.
Fourth, put your camera in Shutter Priority mode. As mentioned above, I am most concerned with a quick enough shutter speed to freeze motion. Aperture and DOF is a secondary concern to me for the most part. I went with a speed somewhere between 1/100 and 1/250.
Finally, switch your release mode to high speed continuous or burst. You want to be able to lock focus and take a burst of 3 to 5 pics at a time. This will help ensure you have a properly exposed and sharp photo.
Now you have your base settings. These will need to be tweaked slightly depending on your venue and how it was lit. Shoot away in your mini bursts and don’t forget to rock out. After all, you came to the show to rock in the first place right?

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.

The plastic boxes are sitting on the back of florescent shop lights for bottom heat, and when the seeds sprout the lid is lifted and the boxes are moved so the plants are 2" below the lights. Silver Reflective Mulch drapes on the back and sides of the shelf unit to reflect more even light to all the plants. No garden dirt in these boxes. Only fresh and clean seed starting mix.

This is a photograph from the first running of the Mullingar Half Marathon which was held on Tuesday 17th March 2015 St. Patrick's Day Lá Fhéile Pádraig in Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland at 11:00. Just under 600 people participated in the event which was a wonderful success on the event's first running. The event was in aid of the charity Childline. The weather was perfect for distance running and the course was a perfect mixture of town, flat bogland country roads and a long stretch along the beautiful Royal Canal. The race started on Austin Friars' Street and finished in town park beside the Annebrook Hotel.

I am not a fisherman. It is not difficult to understand the attraction of fishing, but my personality would simply not allow me to enjoy the activity. I need to be continually engaged in what I am doing, and time spent waiting is not attractive to me (which is why developing film is not at the top of my enjoyable activities).
However, those who have different personalities can enjoy quiet time in contemplation, dividing their thoughts to the bobbing of the float, and using their knowledge and skill to successfully capture a fish. Indeed, I can understand the attraction of starting the day in this way, as we all have choices of how to start at the beginning.

In my bid to join in with Movember (raising money for men's health charities by growing a moustache) I decided to A) shave off what facial hair I had, and B) do a bit of a blog/record in my Flickr stream.
The journey to work seemed an apt time to take the first shot so I pulled over in a lay-by at 7am and did the shoot, much to the interest of the passing motorists who must have been wondering what the flashing was. The dark blue Volvo I drive can't have helped - it screams 'rozzers'!!
