In another life, and for about 5 years, I have done needlework as a side hobby. Nothing too remuneratively interesting; some tapestry, mainly of sea scenes, because that’s what I love, really. A few lighthouses; in fact I think there’s at least one large lighthouse finished, and one Breton farmhouse; the sort of house that [...]

So on New Year’s Day after failing to acquire a Nintendo Wii COS I WANTED ONE THERE AND THEN RIGHT, I took a trip out to Howth with a view of playing with some dramatic clouds (they had gone home for the night though, leaving a grey featureless thing of a sky), and some long [...] and It feels like it’s warmer outside than in. I took a wander around the estate with a 50mm lens and a camera this morning. When I got home I discovered that the computer had different ideas to me about how I name files which is why this is actually called Snow nn rather than IMG_nnnn. [...] One of the older photographs. I think this was from my sister’s garden, and I believe it was taken with the 50mm. I’ve forgotten though I suppose I could check the file data except it’s not on the flickr page (what was I thinking) and I am not sure where the file is stashed in terms [...] I had some difficulty trying to decide which image to post. I was at the Irish Leadclimbing championships at the weekend in PlayAtHeight in Dingle. Just one of those things; went along, had fun, took some photographs and I quite liked quite a few of them. I’m not done processing them yet seeing as I [...] Yesterday was the third annual Scott Kelby World Photowalk. I’d forgotten it was coming up. Anyway, this time, John Williams took us west rather than east. I tend to prefer east – probably because it takes me towards my more natural stomping ground of the sea. We wound up in tourism heaven, Temple Bar and [...] Strangely enough, it seems like all I have been doing lately is shooting pictures of people. So, from the last month or two, here are a few. Taking pictures of people is not something that necessarily comes naturally to me. Most of these were done, I think, with the 50mm 1.8. There may be a couple of [...] After a rather trying time with a composite work, I was advised by Richard to go out in the sunshine. So I did. All the way to Wicklow. I didn’t have any real plan in mind but wound up as far south as Brittas Bay. I kept hearing about Brittas Bay but really and truly, all [...] I was in Dignes Les Bains today having done the train des Pignes. I had hoped for photos out of that but they were all taken through a window that doubled as a fly cemetry and frankly meh is as good as you’ll get for any of them. On the way home, however, I got [...] Christmas is fast approaching so here’s a vaguely Christmassy looking shot – well I think it is anyway – taken not at Christmas. Yep. A tulip that I think would look rather nice on a Christmas card. Something like this I would like to decorate a Christmas tree. I wonder if it’d be possible to cast these [...] |
