interesting hour 6

Ireland-Waterfall-Rainbow-Sunrise

After a week in Ireland, I have seen some incredible sights. This is a beautiful country, and the people are incredibly warm and welcoming.

Sand-and-Pebbles

It is great to finally be back to posting regularly on the site! It took us a while to finally wrap up our second video course, and despite my attempts to keep the site fresh with new content, things have been quite hectic, to say the least. And now that...

After the Rain

July 6, 2016 By Thomas Stirr 37 Comments

after the rain 14

One of my favourite times to photograph garden plants and flowers is first thing in the morning after a fresh rain. All of the colours and textures seem richer after the rain dapples them with water droplets. Even the smallest and simplest of flowers take on a new look as...

J5 BIF 7

I've been quite busy with client work lately and I decided that I needed a break. So, today I headed out to photograph birds-in-flight with my Nikon 1 J5. As most folks know, this camera does not have a viewfinder, so I used four, thick elastic bands to attach my Zacuto...
