Wow. Those are some fine pictures there. I was in dublin zoo a few months back and i seen more skangers than animals. Thats really impressive. The 2nd pic looks like joan rivers and the 3rd luks like my ma-in-law in a huff. I take it you do this for a living? If not, its something you should consider

Thank you.
Luckily on the day I went, it was too cold for the skangers to be out and about, had the zoo pretty much to myself actually!
I don't do this for a living, just a hobby. I've only been doing photography for a little over 6 months really, got my camera in the middle of June last year.

Holy sh!t those are absolutely amazing. Well done brother. Are you selling prints?

Cheers man, glad you like them... and never thought about selling them as prints actually! Didn't think I would be near that level yet.

Great pics and the Dublin zoo has a nice selection too.And is that a face behind the silverback?

Thanks man!
No face behind the Silverback, but you would make a good paranormal investigator, haha.

Thanks a lot!
And yes, I posted some night sky ones here not too long ago. Surprised they are remembered!

Thank you.
Haha, maybe 'Skel' is some sort of new age hipster term for 'awesomely attractive individual'?
Lets see that quote again now;

I like it.

Won't let me rep you Oggie

Those pictures are so rich. Have so much depth, they are just beautiful. Do you do this professionally?

I've never really been good with a camera but I just read some of your tips which are great also. Really good stuff!

THE SHOT PHOTOGRAPHY

Some truly epic stuff there man, love the shots from Teahupo'o. That wave is designed to destroy! I'd love to visit Tahiti someday. Apparently 'Teahupo'o' means 'Broken Skulls' in Tahitian...

Anyway, here are a few more of my recent (non-surfing, sorry!) shots;

I don't know if this has been asked already, but what camera do you use Oggie?

Canon 450D man, with 18-55mm and 50-250mm lenses.

Cool. Was just asking because we are going on holiday this summer and really need a decent camera to document things. The current camera we have is a bit shite and doesn't even work properly. We probably won't get shots like yours, but at least the hardware will be decent. Your pictures are really very good; almost otherworldy in parts. That first picture below of Eoghan looks like there is a face emerging from the tree which is then blowing the water into a frenzy. That's fantastic. Quite eery too.
