Actimel Full Of Life competition
Third year photography student Shane Cunnane has entered his photograph The Absence Of Gravity into the Actimel Full of Life winter photograph competition. You can view the photo below and visit HERE to vote.
“The photo was taken at Urlaur Lake & Abbey in Urlaur, Co. Mayo; it's one of six images I submitted for an Action Photography project last semester”, says Shane.
“In order to achieve the acquired aesthetic, I asked my model to jump on the spot and twist in mid-air, before landing on her feet again. It was during this mid-air twist that I captured The Absence Of Gravity. The aperture was f4 and the shutter speed was 1/4000 of a second. I think it's a great contender for the most Full Of Life Winter Moment on the Actimel Full Of Life website.”
Voting remains open until February 27th and only takes a second.
If you are a Griffith student and have also entered the Actimel Full Of Life competition, please contact griffiti@gcd.ie
