Black and white photography has been around for years but it continues to be popular. I love black and white pictures because the color doesn’t distract from the light, shape and texture of the subject.
26 October 2009 - Wet suits
Wet suits lie out in the sun to dry near Fountainstown Beach, County Cork.
24 October 2009 - A Vendre
Firewood for sale on the roadside near where we stayed in Quebec.
23 October 2009 - Cross in the Roof
Another (and final) shot of the roof in the Sanctuaire de Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré in Quebec, Canada. I will post more from this church but this is the final shot of the main roof. Love the intricate design.
22 October 2009 - Look up at the roof
The ceiling of the Sanctuaire de Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré in Quebec is quite a sight. In a low light situation you can’t get a more stable support than the floor at your feet, lucky me.
A wide angle lens meant I had to run for cover lest the camera capture me in the image. The 2 second timer was very convenient for this purpose.
20 October 2009 - Steps to Montmorency Falls
If you’re adventurous or just have strong legs you can climb the many steps to the top of the hill overlooking the Montmorency Falls.
I climbed the steps with a few of the other Automattic guys and took in the breathtaking view over the St. Lawrence River up to Quebec City. Add to that the thunder of the nearby falls and it was well worth the climb.
19 October 2009 - Montmorency Falls
You’ll find Montmorency Falls just outside Quebec City in Canada. They’re an imposing sight, visible from the highway and by foot you can almost reach the base of the falls. Bring a coat and protect your camera because you’ll be soaked by spray!
Remember that Balloon Boy story last week? People have been searching for the boy since the story broke. Searching online that is. On that day, my Balloon Boy was the number 1 hit for that phrase in Canada (and elsewhere) and this site served an extra 10,000 or so hits. People are still searching and it’s boosted traffic levels nicely.
Pity it’ll all disappear once the controversy dies down.
15 October 2009 - County Hall and the Chimney
Cork County Hall, as seen from a nearby hill in Sunday’s Well.
Argh! I hate coming up with blog post titles.
14 October 2009 - Old House on Oilean Chleire
Just up the hill from the North Harbour on OIlean Chleire off the County Cork coast.
13 October 2009 - Gangsters
Gangster’s Barbers, somewhere in London. I couldn’t tell you where. Matt was driving.
11 October 2009 - Wind Power
Wind turbines dot the landscape here and there. Shot in West Cork last year.
