I decided to go back to Trinity College in Dublin to try to retake some photographs that I had taken before (that came out crap). This is one of them which I refer to as the Trinity College “car park”, although really it was to try to capture the cobbles of the path.
I reckon the guy who just walked past me was probably wondering what the hell a 6 foot 4 grown man was doing nearly on the floor taking pictures but hey I don’t care I ended up with the shot I was after
So day two of the magical tour of Dublin/Wicklow for my foreign friends. Today we went to Glendalough, a favourite haunt of mine. And I do believe the walk around the lakes and the monastic city went down well with my traveling companions. I took a heck of a lot of pictures but they all look the same as photos I have put up here before.
One place I had never brought the camera to was the Poulanass waterfall on the left hand side very close to the upper lake. I took some pictures there and then decided to try a 2 second exposure, I also brought the exposure compensation down so I would not to get to many highlights.
Stupidly I forgot to reset it and all images following are now underexposed, what a tool!
Anyhow this is a washed up pine cone found at the edge of the upper lake, but where did it originate from, since there are no trees anywhere close to where I was standing. So I will leave you with that thought, the mystery of the pine cone.
Well I had the day off today so went down to Bray seafront to take some pictures, I really should have stayed at home the weather was mad, cold, windy, and we even had snow and sunshine!
So this week I shall be posting up images from this outing, this been my first, even though Bray Co. Council have strict rules on drinking in public spots this bottle was left around, rules I suppose are there to be broken!
God I am scraping the barrel here, I need to get out bring my camera and start shooting again. Well here are 4 stones my neice brought us a while ago. I just placed them on my black card and hey presto a shot of sorts.
Ok so ive missed a few days reasons being firstly Saint Patricks day, then on saturday Ireland winning the triple crown in the 6 Nations rugby tournament, and finally resting a hangover on Sunday.
I did promise to have a picture from Paddys day up online and I failed, mainly because it was cold, windy, rainy, hail stoney (if there is such a thing), and downright lousy, but I did take this picture which if I had not brought it into photoshop would have saddened everyone who visits the site. So I tangoed the image.
