The Stores

The end of the Visit Dublin photowalk.

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…

The Gap

October 7, 2010 Bronica ETRS, Kerry, Landscape

I’ve always found velvia to be an absolute bitch to scan. Trying to maintain the colours you see when you hold the film up to the light is impossible. Probably why I post very little of it and why I still have nearly a dozen rolls of it to scan. Well, either the above or I’m just lazy.

All the people, all the time

Kerry, stopped to investigate. Open to correction but if I remember correctly, it’s the gap of Dunloe.

Out Back

Really liking what that heathen app is producing. Mostly.

Lemurs at Dublin Zoo.

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

September 20, 2010 Canon 24-70, Canon 5D, Dublin, Event, Macro

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.

The Pitch Inspector

From the Dublin Zoo Photowalk back in July

Great Things to Come

September 11, 2010 Canon 5D, Cork, Diana, Landscape

The Cork photowalk. West Cork. Sheeps head to be exact. When people say ‘go to your happy place’ this is at the top of an ever lengthening list.

Just Passing By

September 6, 2010 Black and White, Dublin, Event, Film, People

The potential buyers and the ‘just passing by’ers at Peoples Photography 2010

Fields of Flowers

September 4, 2010 Canon 5D, Dublin, Macro

Getting ready for the Botanic Gardens photowalk later this month. It’ll be a bit different than the January walk. A few less inches of ice and snow for starters.

Two

Taken during the Visit Dublin photowalk a couple of weekends back. The start of the processing that needs to be done for this batch.

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.
