A flower or weed? A weed is only a flower in the wrong place, or so I’ve heard. This was taken at Seaside in Florida during the Automattic meetup there in 2010. Beautiful beach there, horrible humidity in September! This will probably be my last post of the year here so happy new year and [...]

Reflections of a fence
Filed in Canon 40D, Ireland, Kerry, Photography, Photos, Reflections, Sigma 10-20, Slea Head, WaterThat same fence again, this time against the setting sun and reflected in a pool of water from the recent rains. Loved taking this shot and others at the time, they turned out almost as good as I imagined they would! My sister-in-law’s husband Ed has published a short story and is using one of [...]

Old Wood and Yellow

Conor Pass Hills and Clouds
Filed in Black and White, Canon 20D, Dingle, Ireland, Kerry, Landscape, Photos, Sigma 10-20Conor Pass Hills and Clouds This image broke my heart. I spent a long time trying to get the darkened sky layer and the brightened ground layer to merge nicely but I’m still not happy with it. This small web version looks almost ok but I can still see the offending bits that are wrong.
Sunshine on the Conor Pass
Filed in Candid, Canon 20D, Dingle, Ireland, Kerry, Landscape, People, Photos, Sigma 10-20, Sky, WaterSunshine on the Conor Pass This will probably be the final photo from that September 2006 visit to the Conor Pass. It’s taken earlier than some of the others but I’m a sucker for leading lines so it had to go in! I love the reflection in the water on the valley floor, and the [...]
I can hardly see myself
Filed in Canon 20D, Dingle, Fog, Ireland, Kerry, Photos, Sigma 10-20, VehiclesI can hardly see myself As I said previously, thick fog was rolling across the Conor Pass. It was frightening how fast it moved and the light and scene changed utterly. Here’s it’s obscuring the road down the Pass, making the too-narrow road even more treacherous. I think by the time we left, even this [...]
Clouds over the Conor Pass
Filed in Automattic, Canon 20D, Dingle, Ireland, Kerry, Landscape, Photos, Sigma 10-20, SkyClouds over the Conor Pass I’m loath to post photos from the same location day after day but I may as well call this “Conor Pass Week” and get the rest of them out of the dark where they’ve languished since 2006. After the reaction to yesterday’s Conor Pass photo hopefully you’ll like this one [...]
