ABOUT SHANE MCDONALD PHOTOGRAPHY
Welcome
I am Shane McDonald, an Amateur Photographer from Waterford, Ireland. I started taking photos around 1999 with a 1.3 mega-pixel Olympus digital camera. After winning a Waterford photography contest in 2007 I started taking my photography a bit more serious. This site, Shane McDonald Photography blog, was setup in 2010 and has extended since then.
The main types of photography I enjoy include landscapes, architecture, food photography, long exposure and blue-hour photography. I post regularly to Instagram and Twitter via the @shanesphoto handle and my Facebook page is available by clicking the logo on this site. This photoblog is Winner of the Blog Awards Ireland 2018 Silver Award.
Blog posts are added at least once a week, and I do like to get comments, so please leave one if you have a chance. I hope you enjoy the site.
MY PHOTOGRAPHY
I enjoy capturing the skill and talent of the chef in my food photography. I think food photography should capture the use of fresh ingredients, the creativeness of the chef and also entice the viewer with a mouth-watering final shot.
I enjoy travel and the fantastic shots which can be captured en-route. My favourite travel photography destinations include New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, and of course Ireland (especially the west coast and Wild Atlantic Way).
Nature in all it’s forms is a photographers dream subject. Everything from the smallest bird or colourful dragonfly to the largest deer provide a great photo shoot opportunity. Most of my nature shots are from Ireland and the UK.
