The Long Grass

March 16, 2010 Canon 5D, Landscape, Wicklow

Another from the Sally Gap, as if you haven\’t had enough already. Nothing too ‘Saint Patricksy’ for today, mostly because going into the other room and plugging in the external drive seems like too much work. Yes, I’m that lazy.

Spring at the Gap

March 13, 2010 Canon 5D, Landscape, Wicklow

Sally Gap, last weekend. One of the first spots where you can pull the car over and look out over the hills. Until of course some tourists in a rental car trying to park behind you almost break both your legs. Nice day overall though.

Natural Habitat

Take away the bugs, toads, give her a pair of wellies and I’m sure she’d be right at home.

Concentric

March 11, 2010 Canon 135 f2, Canon 5D, Dublin

I’m always looking for new ways to photograph the glass roof of the greenhouses at the Botanic Gardens. I usually come home with more photos of the bloody roof than I do of the plants. Imagine, going to a botanic garden to take photos of plants?!? Madness!

Takeoff from the high wall of the vine border and off to the branches of a nearby tree.

Four Legged Photowalker

We met this cheery little fella up at Bective Abbey on Sunday morning. He trotted down the road to meet us, followed along by our side for a while then went on his merry way up a grassy lane.

Bald Spot

A surprising amount of snow is still resting on the hills in Wicklow, as we found out yesterday while taking a drive from Dublin to Glendalough (scenic route of course)

Bective Abbey

February 22, 2010 Black and White, Canon 5D, Landscape

The morning after the night in Brogans and the 9:30am Sunday breakfast. Bective Abbey, near Trim. Only a few braved the hangovers. More importantly though, breakfast at 9:30am on a Sunday? That’s inhumane!!

The Jealous Couples Garden

February 22, 2010 Canon 5D, Event, Landscape

The cemetery at Newtown in Trim where you can be cured of your wartyness. Simply bring a safety pin and deposit at the grave of Sir Lucas Dillion and his wife. I didn’t bring a pin so I can’t test the theory.

Top Deck

Trams aren’t made like this anymore. Anyone that’s ever been on the red Luas line could tell you that. In the Glasgow transport museum, best place to go (aside from the pub) when the weather takes a turn.

Dry Dock

February 6, 2010 Canon 5D, Kerry, Landscape

Near Killarney, one of the many photogenic places to stop along the Molls Gap route that winds through the mountains from Kenmare.

The End Result

February 5, 2010 Canon 5D, Dublin, People

Colin Harmon of 3FE next to one of his cappuccino creations. Yes, I know it seemed that yesterdays 3FE photo was going to be it for a while but no, when I looked at this one I just wanted to post it. Sometimes the light that’s available to you just works. This was one of those times. Now, to print some of these shots!

The Pull

Another from the other day down in 3FE on Middle Abbey Street. All aspects of the perfection creation process covered! Instead of posting all the shots one by one and drawing it out over weeks, here they are.

3FE

February 2, 2010 Canon 5D, Dublin, People

After posting shots from the official opening day of Third Floor Espresso a few days back, Colin expressed an interested in getting a few more done. Just sometimes, this whole photography lark pays dividends! Incidentally, I now realise this is how I wish to spend all my future lunchtimes. Shooting and drinking amazing coffee. Niche in the market?

I dunno.. something different? This was lurking in my archives and I’m in a kind of ‘what can I do with this?’ mood. ‘Not much’ is the answer by the way.

Not made like this anymore

The Transport Museum in Glasgow. Great spot, lots of lovely old bikes! Well, a few old cars too, as you can see here.

More 3FE goodness/coffee porn from yesterdays official opening. A cappuccino being born. Yes, two more please. Thanks. Keep em coming.

Third Floor Espresso

January 24, 2010 Canon 50, Canon 5D, Dublin, Event

At the official opening of Third Floor Espresso (3FE) on Middle Abbey Street a couple of hours ago. If you’re reading this and you’re local, get down there for some mind bendingly amazing coffee. This is one of the several cappuccinos I’ve had there this weekend.

Rough Times Ahead

January 21, 2010 Canon 50, Canon 5D, Macro, Scotland

An all too unsure if I should be there or not walk around the prep area before an evening of stock car racing in Cowdenbeath. You may have guessed, due to the decor in the photo, that Cowdenbeath is in Scotland. That is all.

Only in Kenyaaaaa

And in Fotaaaaa! Fota Wildlife Park of course. Thought these chaps looked a bit more striking in black & white. While you’re in a link clicking mood, nominations for the Blog Awards have started over at Blog Awards HQ. Head on over and spare a thought for your favorite blogger.
