Welcome...

Welcome to The Captured Light blog. If you are interested in what is happening at Carsten Krieger Photography this is the place to be.

This year has been one of the most exiting so far. The work on my 2nd book is done and apart from my role as photographer and writer I also took on the challenge to create the layout for the book. The outcome of this endeavor will be in the shops in spring 2009 under the title "The West of Ireland".

While putting the finishing touches to "The West of Ireland" I was already assigned to a new project which content will be kept under wraps for the moment. All I can say that the next year will see me travelling up and down the country a lot.


A few weeks ago I finally made my first acquaintance to Northern Ireland, the Antrim coast to be precise. It was a real eye opener for me. White Park Bay, Fair Head, Giant's Causeway and the Glens are a landscape photographer's dream. The weather wasn't the best but the unique landscape made up for it and during the few bright spells I even managed some decent images. And as you can see above you can have the Giant's Causeway all for yourself even in August if you get up at 4am. Needless to say that the next trip up North is already planned.
Also during that trip I had the chance to work with the EOS 1Ds MKIII for the first time. Apart from the fact that the sensor of my camera was smeared with some oily substance and literally covered in dust the MKIII is the best camera I've ever worked with. But more on that at a later stage.

Next week will see me heading down to Cork and I can only hope the weather will shape up. Talk to you when I'm back.
