How I took that Shot – Keith Johnson

15 Keith Johnson -Urban

Keith Johnson took first place in Grade C, for the second time in a row, in our recent ‘Urban’ competition with the unusual shot of Cobh town above. This is how he made the image:

This unusual picture of Cobh was taken from the top deck of the cruise liner, MSC Splendida, while it was berthed in Cobh last summer.
Taken handheld, hanging over the top guard rail to get a clear shot!
Using my Canon 650 with a 17=85 lens ISO 100, F20, 1/30sec

How I took that Shot – Keith Johnson

13_Keith Johnson - Winter

Keith Johnson took first place in Grade C in our recent ‘Winter’ competition with the beautiful landscape shot above. This is how he made the image:

The photo was taken on 2016/01/07. I had a couple of hours to spare in Killarney and luckily found I had the camera in the boot of the car. I headed up to Ladies View thinking the snow and sun would be better there but there was only a sparse covering so I headed back down and stopped at a flooded Long Range, to take a quick look.

It has never been my favorite place but it looked good so took the camera out and waded out till I could find a good view. I waited for the sun to show in the background and quickly took one handheld shot. My feet were freezing by now so I skipped back to the car pretty quickly!

Taken about 2 pm with a Canon 650d.. lens 18-55 ..f22, 1/13,100 ISO
