Donkey in the field

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007 by Donncha

I almost made an ass of myself and forget to post a picture today! You’d be saying to yourselves, “He haw-lways posts a picture every day, where is today’s one?”

Never fear, here it is and I’ve run out of jokes so it’s back to normal. Feel free to contribute in the comments however!

This was snapped down in last September. We were driving back from Baile Na nGall (Bally David) when I spotted this and a few horses in adjoining fields. I pulled over and ran across the busy bothaireen. Well, a Hi-ace and a tractor passed by..

More of the to come!

Lifebelt in the grass

Monday, May 28th, 2007 by Donncha

A lay in the at a on the Peninsula, Co. last September. It was a beautiful day, the was shining, beautiful contrasted with the deep blue of the and a light breeze blew off the .

We were just going back to the car after a nice stroll on the . I had just taken footprints in the sand down on the when I looked back one more time and saw this striking scene in front of me.

The were perfect, the was shining on the , the far away hills were in shadow and light. Perfect moment!

EI-128 on Inch Strand

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007 by Donncha

Last September a large group of enthusiasts spent a weekend at in Co. . They were from two clubs, one in Dublin and one from further north I think. I took down their details but that scrap of paper is long lost at this stage.

Conditions weren’t the best on the day we passed the . It was a beautiful sunny day, but the wind wasn’t blowing in the right direction and the only I saw flying was a powered one. We were on our way home so couldn’t wait around unfortunately. I still got some nice shots. Hopefully I’ll find time to work on them over the next few weeks!

Watching the fish underwater in Lanzarote

Saturday, April 14th, 2007 by Donncha

A young watches swim past on a off the coast of in the . The ’s staff threw food overboard for the while the passengers went below decks to watch from the observation windows. As it was the start of the season in May, the was nowhere near full and everyone got a good look at the marine life swimming past.

This is the first picture I’ve posted from our in last year. I took so many it’s daunting to look through them and pick out the ones I want to publish.

The soaking wet happy springer spaniel

Sunday, March 4th, 2007 by Donncha

This is another photo of , a springer spaniel that lives in . This time she followed us over to Fennell’s Bay where she dashed off into the shallows after stones. She was deliriously happy!

Unfortunately the same could not be said for a group of teenagers higher up on the who threw stones at us and into the very close to us. Their malevolent laughter spoiled that moment for us and put us in real danger. They weren’t locals and by their accents it wasn’t hard to figure out where in they were from.

There’s more of here and here. We were down in last weekend and didn’t see her at all. I hope she’s ok and was tucked up at home in front of the fire instead of at a cold and wet .

Congratulations to Gavin@Headphoneland for winning best photoblog at last night’s Irish Blog Awards! Get well soon!

There’s definitely something up with ’s “Blog This” function. The URL of the image it passed to my blog was borked and displayed the infamous, “This photo is currently unavailable”. I reported it yesterday but I guess it’ll take longer than that to fix.

The ever vexxing question of arrises on Kevin’s blog here and here. In the USA it’s perfectly ok to use someone’s image for non commercial usage as long as the photo was taken in a public place. I can understand why that woman is suing Yahoo! but I guess it’s the money she wants rather than protecting her . (Is there a difference?) I covered the issue in the past, where things could be a little different in - the expectation of extends to a private conversation in a public place. Vexxing indeed!

The Digital Photography Show interviewed Bert Krages, the author of the PDF, The Photographer’s Right on the subject of photographer’s rights. I haven’t listened yet but it should be good as he knows his stuff. Obviously laws will change from place to place so do some research locally before shooting on the street! The interview is also mentioned here and here.

The Black Surfer

Monday, February 26th, 2007 by Donncha

A rides the at in early January this year. I’m not sure how many were out there but we talked to one wet and cold looking one when he came out of the and he told us they had been there for a few hours.

The heavens opened and rain fell shortly after. Only the surfers were left out in the open.

Donal has a good post about exposure. Donal, you should read Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera by Bryan Peterson. I’ll lend you my copy if you want. It’s a great read.
