McAWilliams Photoblog

I wish Dublin had a system like this that works, this was taken in Oslo, Helsfyr Subway station to be exact while there some time ago, yes I am still backing up images here and finding photos that I had not put up before.

In other news I have a mental weekend looming, on Friday night I am been taken to the radio advertising awards, Saturday I have a christening to go to in the afternoon and then the big one the blog awards that evening.

Because of my busy social weekend of 2007, Photos may not appear on those days but I shall endeavor to keep on going on my daily updates but if you dont see anything new dont worry its because I am either out or suffering with a really bad hangover.

Dublin’s most famous bridge the Ha’penny bridge. Taken down and refurbished although looking at the lights on it they could have done better, although I do have to say I feel safer crossing it nowadays.

I decided tonight to do some backing up on the gigs of photos I have on the computer and found this hidden away in my holiday from last year snaps.

This was taken in Lanzarote while on a trip through the volcanic region there and shows an experiment of the heat generated under Timanfaya. Basically the guide got some dry vegetation and held it above a hole which a long way down has lava in it.

The heat generates enough heat to burn the dried plant our in a matter of seconds. Its quite incredible the power of nature.

Ok I promise this is the last image from Trinity for now and its also my first attempt at a panoramic shot. With much perspective correcting and warping I am finally happy with the result. Tell me what you think?

This I reckon is my second last if not last image for now from Trinity college. I have to say the various buildings there really caught my fancy I do hope you have also enjoyed them.

The reason I say second last is because I am attempting a panoramic shot from here which if I can get it to work will be online tomorrow.

If you can remember back 3 days ago and my purple bin shot this would be the view directly behind me. This is looking back on Kildare Street to the Museum there.

My second shot from Trinity College, this is a bit further back from yesterdays shot, and kind of shows the scale of this place. Puts senior college in Ballyfermot to shame where I learnt my sound engineering trade!
