Mark Stanley's Photography


Welcome to Mark Stanley's Photo Gallery. As any of you who know me are aware, photography is one of my favourite hobbies, and the photos within this section of ragorder.com are the fruits of the time I spend with my beloved Canon 400d. I hope you enjoy !
The photos here are all pulled from my ragorder flickr account using the really cool LumisGallery

Foggy Lens. This was one of those happy accidents. My Canon 17-85 lens was cold and when I took it out of its bag it fogged up in the warm house. This resulted in a misty look to the window and overall an overexposed shot. With a simple Lightroom filter added, I think it looks quite cool.
Leaving Alcatraz. The weirdest ever location for a meeting with my boss, but we like to do things differently around here :)
Glasnevin Graveyard.
drugs do work. The cocktail of painkillers, anti-inflammatory, antibiotic and vitamins my wife is taking today after having two wisdom teeth removed yesterday.Taken with a Canon 400d, Canon 50mm f/1.8, and extension tubes. Cropped and processed very slightly in Lightroom 2.0 for Mac.
Dollymount. Dollymount Strand in Dublin on a cold but beautiful Winters day. Completely overprocessed in Lightroom 2.1 for Mac, but it is what it is and it's not supposed to reflect reality :)
Mushrooms. Mushrooms growing on a tree stump in the forest below Hellfire Club in Dublin. Shot on a Canon 400d with a Canon 17-85mm and processed in Adobe Lightroom 2.0 for Mac.
erin. My daughter Erin in the new vegetable garden in Dublins Botanic Gardens. Processed in Adobe Lightroom 2.0 for Mac.
me two (1 exposure, no processing). 6sec exposure, lit twice with off camera canon speedlite 580ex II. Completely unprocessed - taken straight off the camera and uploaded. Taken with a Canon 400d and a Canon 17-85mm on manual focus
Storm Approaching. Taken on Dollymount strand a few weeks ago. One of those days where the sun was splitting the rocks one minute, and then lashing rain the next. Processed in Adobe Lightroom 2.0 for Mac and uploaded with the very cool Export to Flickr Plugin - bit.ly/2GtKji. Thanks to my unknown and unsuspecting model for adding the human element to this shot!
Summer 2008. This photo sums up the recent 'summer' weather in Ireland. This is using my own manual tweaks to a 'Lomo camera with Velvia film' preset I downloaded for Adobe Lightroom for Mac. Taken with a Canon 400d and Canon 50mm f/1.8
Botanic Gardens, Dublin. Sign above the gate at the Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, Dublin. Processed using the 300 preset in Adobe Lightroom for Mac. Taken with a Canon 400d and a Canon 50mm f/1.8
Erin. 300 Preset in Adobe Lightroom for Mac with some manual tweaks to vignette, contrast, brightness and saturation.
Cian. What a handsome little boy he is!
Erin and I. Processed in Lightroom 1 for Mac
pegs - processed. A cropped and processed version of one of my pegs shots. Processed in Adobe Photoshop CS3 for Mac. Added some contrast, did a cross-processing effect, and a slight desaturation. I felt that having *some* colour in here was a good thing, rather than making it completely black and white. What do you think ?Unprocessed version here
pegs. Wooden clothes pegs on a washing line. Unprocessed. Uploaded as shot. Processed version here.
ruined wall. One of the many ruined buildings in St. Anne's Park in Raheny, Dublin, Ireland. Both ugly and beautiful at the same time. Processed in Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop CS3 for Mac.
Desk post cleaning. I did some serious desk tidying the last few days. Things are now manageable in my little work world. The piled up paperwork was really getting out of hand. Now I know where everything is again. This photo has more notes than any other photo I've ever uploaded. Go check em out.
snooker table. RAW conversion in Photoshop CS3 for Mac. No processing as such aside from that.
snooker table. RAW conversion and some basic processing in Photoshop CS3 for Mac.
follow the leader. Cian and Erin on a walk in the fields opposite our house. Cross processing effect added in Photoshop CS3 for Mac.
soggy dandelion. The day before this dandelion was perfect and I had intended to capture it this way. By the time I got a chance to shoot it, it had rained and the perfection had turned to droopy, soggyness. Oh well. That's nature for you. Taken with a Canon 400d, Canon 50mm f/1.8 and Kenko extension tubes. Processed in Adobe Lightroom for Mac.
Blue-Tailed Damselfly (Ischnura elegans). Yes the head is slightly out of focus, but I was focusing manually using a Canon 50mm on kenko extension tubes, so I'll excuse myself until such time as I get a proper macro :)
raindrops. Raindrops on a blade of grass. Taken in Balinoulart, Co Wexford, Ireland. Minor adjustment in Lightroom for Mac. Taken with Canon 400d, Canon 50mm f/1.8, and Kenko extension tubes.
