    Abstract textures

    So ambling along in the woods today I inadvertently released the shutter and produced a pleasing abstract image (above).  So I took ten minutes to create a few more slow shutter speed creations while moving the camera in various directions in the forest.  I think the result make a nice collection of textures or maybe…

    Club POTY October 2017

    Earlier this year I was lucky enough to attain the title Advanced Photographer of the Year in Celbridge Camera club.  This accalade took me ten years to achieve, so was much appreciated when I finally won the title.   The POTY competition is somewhat of a numbers game.  6 images submitted in 6 monthly rounds, so…

    Get your feet wet!

    Heavy down pour an hour before sunset is clearing to the east.  Will the sun make a final appearance before it set in the west, and light up the clouds from below?  Will I watch the latest Thomas Heaton video, or get off my behind and make the most of a potential gift from nature?……
