Some Basic Filter advice….

By Richie Hatch | Published January 30, 2012

As you may be aware I shoot a lot of landscape and architectural photographs. For landscapes I’d say I use filters in 95% of my shots to balance exposures and/or control shutter speeds. With architectural (especially exteriors) its roughly the same. To be honest both forms of photography are very similar in setup…. from timing to [...]

Write down those photo ideas…

By Richie Hatch | Published January 20, 2012

Basically I have a head like a sieve…! I’m often walking along listening to my music, or sitting looking out the window of the bus, daydreaming, when suddenly, in jumps an idea for a photograph into my head.

Tips for shooting Seascapes

By Richie Hatch | Published July 17, 2011

Living close to the sea, I like nothing better than being alone on beach looking for a composition and waiting for the sky to come to life with the first or last rays of the sun. Over the last few years I have been asked many questions by fellow photographers about my seascapes. Not being one [...]

By Richie Hatch | Published June 24, 2011

A few months back a friend asked me to take a photograph of Clogherhead beach in County Louth. For one reason or another I simply never got around to heading out to take the shot. So on Sunday evening I had a couple of hours to spare around sunset so I headed out to have [...]
