look out of an upstairs window in Merchants Quay centre. When I took this shot I didn’t even see them!
I was concentrating on the in the foreground with their . I think they frame the sign rather nicely and ties in with the name of the day too.

Check out some great of Inchigeela from the 1960’s on textlad’s set. Thanks Katie, they’re wonderful!

This reminds me of someone at Mallow Camera Club who showed a number of slides he had bought or got off a priest who had served on a mission in South America. The images were from decades ago and the priest was dead and buried by now. Pictures were still as good as ever, but they’re languishing in a slide box now. I’d love to see them uploaded to Flickr and made public.

School children

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007 by Donncha

While walking back to the car after the Rambler’s game a few weeks ago I made this picture of a sign on the road.

I find it strange that out of the 600-odd images I took that day, this is the first image I’ve uploaded..

I have no idea what they were looking at because there wasn’t anything flying overhead. Better than waiting for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade to start I suppose!

Taken on Paddy’s Day this year on Patrick’s , or Panna as it’s locally known.

Children at play

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007 by Donncha

A sign in , Co. warns motorists to watch out for playing on the road.

I’ve seen so many speed through built up areas these mean absolutely nothing to them.

Technique:
1. Original image was flat and plain. Background was monotonous so I ran it through auto-levels which brought out the colours.

2. Then I duplicated that layer and blurred it using Gaussian Blur with a radius of 25px (original image is 3504px wide). By adding a layer mask I was able to rub out some of the blurred layer to expose the sharp original below. Opacity was set to 41% to reduce the blur effect.

3. Finally an overlay layer was added and circular gradients drawn on with a low opacity. This darkens the and sign slightly in patches.

All manipulation done in the but will work just as well in Photoshop or other application.

Was that useful? Want more?
