1. Gary McParland- Ballintoy Arch

In recent years, since developing my passion for photography, I have always been interested in landscapes and scenery, more specifically in my home country of Northern Ireland and over the border into Ireland. The passion that I have for this style of photography has come from my joy of being able to explore the place where I live, this has been given me the opportunity to create stories using the photographs that I have taken myself.

The first photograph that I have chosen was taken by a Northern Ireland based photography who mainly focuses on landscape and scenic areas in Northern Ireland across the border in Ireland and also across the rest of the United Kingdom. The location of this photograph is Ballintoy, more specifically the Ballintoy Arch. Ballintoy Harbour has been used as a film location for HBO’s Game of Thrones which gives it the title of one of Northern Irelands biggest tourist attractions.

The Photographer

Gary McParland, the ‘2010 Irelands Photographer of the year’ is from Country Armagh in Northern Ireland and is predominately a landscape photographer whose main focus is exploring the island of Ireland and the rest of the UK whilst taking landscape photographs of the coastal scenery and some other famous scenes in the locations that he visits.

The Photograph

The first photograph that I have chosen was taken at Ballintoy located in the north coastal route of Northern Ireland. This is a place that I have only visited maybe a handful of times and to this day it is still a location that I would spend a lot of time photographing.

My emotional response to this photograph is that it first of all gives me a real sense of joy and wonder, this is because this is for me one of my favourite locations to disappear to. This photograph also makes me question a lot about how it was created, is this arch natural? Were they created this way? These are questions that I tend to ask myself often as I am taking my own photographs of the country that I love.

Straight away one of the first things that I notice about this photograph is the different colours in the sky and water, and how these bright and vibrant colours bounce onto the rocks which give them this really warm feeling. Due to the colour palette of this photograph, in my opinion it really gives it a mystical feeling which is certainly added by the arch which in some ways could be taken as some form of portal of obscure thing that may be found in a fairy-tale of a fictional movie.

My intellectual response towards these photograph is that it really shows a level of skill within the camera, for me the composition of this photograph is what really stand out, with a third of it being the sky and the rest of the photograph being the foreground of the rocks and the arch. It is clear to see that there is an element of a long exposure within this photograph due to the wispy water in the foreground and also the water that is flowing down into the cave and through the arch.

Gary has also clearly spent some time on the after production of this photograph in order to really bring out those vibrant colours that are on show in the sky, sea and then onto the rocks in the foreground.

Overall for me this is one of my favourite landscape photographs because the depth of field and the composition really makes me feel like I am at the scene.

Task 3 & 4

Gary McParland (Research and Summary) -

He is a landscape photographer based in Northern Ireland. His photographs try to convey the beauty and drama of the Irish landscape North, South and also other UK countries. He has won many competition from his photography. I mainly looked at his black and white photography for inspiration and tried to use it in my own way. He uses leading lines, rules of thirds, framing and texture which I tried to use in my own work. In this particular style of photos I created, I really tried to play with texture and lighting which I think that I managed to succeed with. There are examples on his website garymcparland.com (his photos are copyrighted so I cannot post here).
