Halloween Pumpkin Head
Halloween Pumpkin Head A Halloween Pumpkin Head or Jack-o’-lantern stares off at the community hall where Mallow Camera Club meet each Monday. I spotted the head after our last meeting. It’s hand-held in low light so I had to pump up the ISO to get a steady shot. More on this Halloween tradition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack-o’-lantern http://wilstar.com/holidays/hallown.htm…

GIMP Lomo Plugin
This is a slighly modified version of an old GIMP Lomo plugin I’ve used for ages that will now work with the new GIMP 2.4 release thanks to some advice I remembered reading on the GIMP User mailing list. The original plugin is by Francois Le Lay but hasn’t been updated since 2005. It’s a…

Parked Motorbikes
Parked Motorbikes Two motorbikes parked on the South Mall attracted my attention especially as a strong sun reflected off the clean chrome. Yes, I know there’s a weird diagonal, yes it is distracting. Yes, it is intentional. Enjoy! Aperture ƒ/4 Camera Canon EOS 20D Focal length 10mm ISO 200 Shutter speed 1/200s
