Golden Leaves
Filed in Autumn, Canon 10-22, Canon 40D, Look up, Nature, Photography, Photos, Trees, United KingdomContinuing on the Burnham Beeches theme, here’s another typical autumn shot. A great many more trees had their leaves than here in Blarney where most trees are naked. While in town this evening I discovered to my dismay that my Canon 10-22 lens is broken. The manual focus ring is completely jammed and the zoom [...]

Autumn Leaves
Filed in Autumn, Canon 10-22, Canon 40D, Nature, Photography, Photos, United KingdomHues of gold and brown greet the eye in Burham Beeches. Yes I know it’s technically winter but autumn is always associated with falling leaves, while winter is cold and snow falls instead, so please humour me! I do have a couple of other shots of yesterday’s Burnham Beeches photo but I’ll leave those until [...]

Caution! Unprotected High Cliffs
Filed in Bantry, Canon 10-22, Canon 40D, Cork, Ireland, Landscape, Nature, Photography, Photos, SignsA sign at the base of the short hill below the white pillar near Bantry in Co Cork warns of high cliffs. Unfortunately Adam was asleep in the car and I couldn’t venture any further so I’ll have to return some day to take photos of that pillar.

A boat in Cape Clear
Filed in Boat, Canon 40D, Cork, Ireland, Photography, Photos, Sea, Sigma 18-200, WaterA solitary boat in the North Harbour, Cape Clear Island. PS. Check out Jolt++, a new photoblog created by fellow Automatticer Michael Pick. Great photos, and I really like the Tumble theme. I wonder how I’d squeeze my adverts into such a theme? PPS. My brother Donal was featured on the envelope of the first [...]

Myself and Anthony were working on one part of our secret project, and Mike Adams was working on the other bit, when Michael Koenig jumped up and went outside on to the balcony. I looked up and saw gorgeous red clouds [...]
