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

Swan at dusk in Malahide Estuary, Co. Dublin, Ireland. A swan swims gracefully at dusk across Malahide Estuary, North County Dublin, Republic of Ireland.
storms end. donabate. The sun peaks through behind a wild sea in Donabate, Co Dublin, Ireland. Taken with a Canon 400d and a Sigma 10-20mm. Processed in Photoshop CS3 for Mac.
concretewindowish. Trying to emulate the amazing work of concretewindow with much less skill!Taken with a Canon 40d and a Canon 50mm f/1.4 in traffic at Sandymount, Dublin, IrelandProcessed in Adobe Photoshop CS3 for Mac.
my kit. Canon 400dCanon EFS 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USMCanon EF 50mm f/1.8Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 IIICanon 580EX II FlashI also have some other stuff such as kenko extension tubes, filters, tripod, remote cable etc
turtle cross-processed. Testing a cross-processing technique in Photoshop CS3 for Mac, with my friendly male turtle as my model !I roughly followed the steps in this photoshop cross-processing tutorial, and then tweaked to suit the image, and added some other adjustments to get the effect I wanted - including the fake vignette effect which is a radial gradient adjustment layer as described here.
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 :)
Lightbox setup with Turtle inside!. The setup used to take these shots.In case you are interested in how I made the lightbox, simply follow these instructions.
lights. Lights wrapped around the banister of the stairs in my sisters house.She had the house decorated for her house warming. Everyone was drunk.I was sober, so I played with my brothers Canon 300d while everyonetalked sh*t !
lake geneva. Lake Geneva, Vevey, Switzerland with the French Alps in the background. Taken on the morning of a friends wedding at which I was 'official photgrapher'. July 2007. Beautiful location - somewhere I'd like to visit again. Seems a world away now in dark dreary January !
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
making lunch. My wife making lunch for the kids the night before. Hope she doesn't mind me displaying her feet so publicly :)My first uploaded shot taken with the Canon 40d and Canon 50mm f/1.4.Processed in 10 quick minutes using Photoshop CS3 for Mac.
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.
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!
sea-stairs.
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.
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
Cow Stare. A cow stares down at me in a field in Co Wexford in July '06
lake tahoe. A view of South and West Lake Tahoe, California, from the air. Flying home to Dublin from San Francisco on an Aer Lingus Airbus A330-200. Amazingly, I was here just five days earlier snowboarding in Homewood Ski Resort. You can see the ski runs in the picture (see note).
abstract street lights #2. Another 20 second exposure with my camera on the dashboard of my car. Croppedand processed in Adobe Photoshop CS3 for Mac.
snooker table. RAW conversion in Photoshop CS3 for Mac. No processing as such aside from that.
Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6. My new lens and my first non-Canon. Its my Christmas present though, so I can't use it till Christmas day. You gotta love the way Sigma don't mess around - they supply a lens hood and a carry case with every lens they sell. Step it up a notch Canon !
Moo Preview.
lighthouse dark. The lighthouse at the end of the east pier in Howth, Co Dublin, Ireland.
car lights. 10 second exposure - camera on the dashboard of my car while driving southbound on the M1, under the Port Tunnel signs, in Dublin, Ireland. Processed in Photoshop CS3 for Mac.Canon 400dCanon 17-85mm IS USM10.0 sec at f/4.017mmISO 100
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
