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.
In the next few weeks this site will extend as I add new features and more blog entries to it.
MY PHOTOGRAPHY
I enjoy capturing the skill of a chef in my food photography. Food photos must capture the ingredients, the creativeness of the chef and also entice the viewer.
Food PhotographyI 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).
Travel PhotographyNature in all it’s forms is a photographers dream subject. Everything from the smallest bird to the largest deer provide a great photo shoot opportunity.
