Gaolbirds

November 21, 2010 Black and White, Cork, Event

Outside the Gaol for the Cork photowalk. Weather played nicely, very nicely in fact. Thanks to all who showed up. 11 down, 1 to go.

No More Bad Days

Another view on a previous location.

Airstrip

Coming back in to land at Newcastle Aerodrome. On the strip ready for take off, proprietor John Nugent’s 1948 US Army Cub.

The Lakes

Out and about again on the helicopter thanks to John Nugent at Newcastle Aerodrome. Much brighter and clearer up there this time, as you’ll find out over the coming days…

Puzzle Pieces

October 11, 2010 Canon 5D, Event, Macro, Wicklow

The only thing saving you from a scenic yet deadly fall from the cockpit of the 1948 US Army Cub at Newcastle Aerodrome. The proprietors pride and joy.

Wicklow Head

October 10, 2010 Canon 5D, Event, Landscape, Wicklow

A view of Wicklow head I’ve never had before. A massive thanks to Mike at Wicklow.TV and John Nugent at Newcastle Aerodrome for the new slant on photowalking.

Less chat, more banana

A Red Panda waiting to be handed his breakfast during the early visit to Dublin Zoo on Saturday.

Nobodys Home

September 24, 2010 Canon 5D, Dublin, Event, Macro, Sigma 150 Macro

It’d been so long since I last used the macro lens, I forgot what it was capable of when focusing manually.

Speckled

Sculpture in the Botanic Gardens. One of the lesser barmy ones.

Botanics

September 19, 2010 Canon 5D, Dublin, Event, Sigma 150 Macro

From the second Botanic Gardens photowalk that took place earlier today. Weather was quite a bit milder than the previous walk. The macro lens that I haven\’t used in what seems to be about 2 years came out to play again.

Print Shopping

Choosing a print from the thousands on display over the weekend.

Lovely Hurling

Out with the home made band saw and the equally home made sanding belt. One template, a bit of craft sawing and sanding later and the finished product is good enough for Croke Park.

Carbon Footprints

Owners waiting for the parade to start at the Stradbally steam rally last weekend.

Nom for visitors

July 13, 2010 Canon 5D, Dublin, Event

Yes, I know, very heavy handed with the processing again. I’m going through another one of those stages of throwing sliders around aimlessly and not caring much about the end result. I’m sure it’ll probably culminate in bypassing lightroom altogether and uploading directly from the memory card. Possibly. Another from Dublin Zoo photowalk that took place last weekend in err, Dublin. Not too used to shooting things that move so didn’t cop that my ISO was set tragically low untilRead More

Hide

July 11, 2010 Canon 5D, Dublin, Event

Thanks to all that turned up for the unexpectedly sunny outing to Dublin Zoo today. So sunny in fact that it appears I came away with a bit of sunburn. Really enjoyed my first time there but unfortunately I appear to have left my sharpness at home that morning. All the more reason to go back and take some more photos I guess!

Happy Place

Julie in her happy place, surrounded by ‘stuff’ to take photos of. Don’t ask me to explain it.

Worlds End Fence

The barbed wire fence at the end of the world. Sheeps Head in West Cork.

Overcooked Hills

Off to that castle again tomorrow so won’t be posting over the weekend. Looking out on a contrast ++ sea from the top of Goats Path in West Cork. Just before winding down the other side of the hill into Kilcrohane and onto the headland.
