A photoblogger perhaps

Still trawling though the archives and coming up with some really nice photos unfortunately my photoshop skills are so lacking that I cant seem to do much with them.Anyhow here is a shot from Saint Stephens Green, my favorite haunt, of a guy taking photos of leaves, madness if you ask me, you would never catch me doing anything as silly as taking photos of leaves.

Norwest Holst Engineering in Saint Stephens Green

Who are these guys from Norwest Holst Engineering and what are they doing in Saint Stephens Green, they seem to have drills set up around the park drilling for something, is it gold, gas or oil, who knows?

On another note for all photobloggers out there Claire over at gingerpixel.com has put up a great link to a site for a load of photography tips many of which I plan on using very soon, fantastic find Claire.

On the Phone in Saint Stephens Green

McAWilliams — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 20:32:39 +0000

God its got cold here in Ireland, but this afternoon the sun was spliting the skies.

So myself and fantasyjackpalance went for a wander through Saint Stephens Green to check out the talent, sorry I mean to take some pictures.

This girl on her phone did catch our attention though since Irish people have no idea what they should wear at the moment. So it was funny to see her walking through the sunlight all wrapped up for winter.

Back to School

I know I am a few days late with this post but these girls got my attention today in Saint Stephens Green, yes indeed the schools are back and the traffic mayhem has begun.

Deep purple tulips

Another photo taken at the west entrance to Stephens Green taken shortly after the shot of the Unitarian Church.

What stood out for me with this picture was the selection of colours, such a deep purple and a bright yellow used in the flower bed, I would have thought it was a daring choice but by jesus it works well.

On another note and totally of topic I have put up what I consider to be a great way to vote on my verbal page you never know maybe it can apply to any other Irish readers out there.

Reading to Baby

McAWilliams — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 22:23:46 +0000

I have to say this is the life, bring the baby for a walk around Saint Stephens Green, find a sheltered spot, let baby observe and have a read of a book.

Stephens Green Flower

Back to my favorite haunt Saint Stephens Green where the flower beds are nearly in full bloom. This is a shot of a lovely pinkish flower called, I dunno, any help would be great.

Park Life

McAWilliams — Thu, 02 Nov 2006 16:16:21 +0000

I forgot I took this image when I got the camera, I think its a great candid shot. Park Attendant and Tourist with obligitory viking hat. Parkies facial expression is fantastic.

I must apologise to anyone who has been here this morning to find a technorati post up, but this is something that has been a bugbear of mine for many many months. The tags I enter never seemed to get recognised in the technorati search.

What I did not realise is that Technorati uses the Atom.xml feed also to find tags, so I have been recoding my atom to accomodate this and from what I can see it has worked, well for new entries my old entries and tags dont seem to work even after a reping.

Tree Lines

Another shot from wet, yet sunny Saint Stephens Green yesterday, Im messing about with the bundled software that came with the camera and to be honest it aint half bad.

Does anyone know of an operation to stop yourself from shaking, I have a feeling this is gonna be my main downfall.

I have a Digital SLR

McAWilliams — Fri, 06 Oct 2006 06:39:51 +0000

Well I have made the leap to D-SLR.

I got myself a Canon EOS 350d the other day and this is one of my first shots with it, and what a suprise I am in Saint Stephens Green. My poor old G6 has been put back in its box and I plan on selling it in order to get myself another lens.

I took a load of pictures but I think this SLR stuff is going to take me a bit of time to get used to.
