I was there too
Hazel O’Connor performed in An Cruiscin Lan last night. She has a great voice, and her songs are very emotionally charged and from the heart.
I loved how she told a short story about each song. It really brought it home how her mind works.

While in Wilton Shopping Center after having my eye looked at I spotted the man in the hat talking to an elderly woman. I only had my Panasonic FZ5 with me but it’s got a good zoom and a great image stabilizer!
He broke out into a big grin moments after I took this shot!

Here’s a long list of channel mixer settings to emulate various black & white films. I used the high contrast setting for the photo below but the different types of film create interesting effects.
It’s worth checking them out, but don’t get hung up on them – one setting will suit one particular type of shot while another will suit others.
Here’s a picture from the front of that building!
The empty multi-storey car park presents an eerie and deserted scene. Inside, the lack of natural light makes the space feel dark and foreboding, adding to the sense of emptiness and abandonment. The only sources of light come from dimly lit overhead bulbs, casting a pale glow over the concrete floors and pillars. The silence is only interrupted by the faint hum of distant machinery, creating an unsettling atmosphere.
Despite the darkness inside, the outside world is bright and vibrant, visible through the open sides of the car park. The contrast between the bright exterior and the dark interior of the car park is stark, highlighting the sense of isolation and detachment within. The juxtaposition of the bright exterior and the dark interior creates a sense of longing and separation, emphasizing the emptiness of the space and the absence of life within.
This black and white photo captures the essence of a bustling construction site, frozen in time. The stark contrast between the shades of black and white creates a dramatic and moody effect, emphasizing the gritty and industrial nature of the scene. The tall crane looms ominously over the site, its long arms extending like spindly fingers towards the sky. The crane’s presence dominates the photo, symbolizing the power and strength of the construction industry.
The photo captures the energy and dynamism of the construction industry, reminding the viewer of the countless hours of hard work and dedication required to build the towering structures that shape our cities.
Looking up at a construction crane, the towering structure looms overhead, its long arms reaching high into the sky. The white billowing clouds float past, providing a soft and gentle contrast to the hard, angular lines of the crane. The photo captures a sense of perspective, emphasizing the sheer scale and magnitude of the crane as it rises into the heavens.
The photo conveys a sense of awe and wonder at the engineering marvels of the modern world. The crane symbolizes the power and strength of the construction industry, while the clouds remind us of the beauty and majesty of nature. Together, the crane and the clouds create a sense of harmony and balance, a reminder that human progress and technological advancement can exist in harmony with the natural world. The photo is a powerful tribute to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the human spirit, reminding us that anything is possible with hard work and dedication.
