Week 7
With low cloud coverage over Drumkeeragh forest it brings a light that seems to change has the cloud drifted through the trees. This shot is from the highest point and also the hardest hit by strong winds. The number off dead and fallen trees also makes for some great pictures. At least they do to me. So here’s one image for this weeks post.
Thank you for viewing and enjoy your week.
George.
Week 6
This weeks image comes from an evening walk in Drumkeeragh forest. Heavy rain clouds filled the sky, but has I approached this dead tree the sun broke through and brought out the texture of the tree. Moving in close I shot this on my mobile /cell phone. Edited in Snapseed and posted here.
Thank you for viewing,
George. ☘️

Thank you and wherever you are in the world be kind to one another ☘️
week five.
So with a mini heat wave this week I got out on the motorbike. I done one off the Irish photo rally points. http://www.irishphotorally.ie/
For those that look at the I. P. R site this photo is number five on the map.
The date above the door is 1857, not sure if it was a post office from that date.. Today it could be somes home.
The m/c is a BMW r1200gs and me and this old girl has covered many happy miles. Hopefully a few more this year.
Week 4
This weeks image is from Drumkeeragh Forest. It was taken on my Sony mobile and edited in Snapseed. The image shows Sleive Croob through the trees with the evening sun dropping behind the trees.
Part of doing this 52 week Black and White is to capture the moment with what camera you have. When walking I don’t alway carry my camera, I always have my mobile/cell phone. So maybe the image quality isn’t the greatest be its fun to take, edit and post here or social media in a few minutes. So have fun, experiment and enjoy travelling light sometimes.

Ths weeks image is off the Hooded Crow. It was taken at the County Down coast here in Northern Ireland. It is a black and grey coloured bird so not a hard b&w conversion.
A little info on the editing.
This wwas taken on a Nikon D7200 and a Sigma 150-600mm lens. Using the camera WiFi and the Nikon app on my mobile phone, I downloaded the image has a Raw file. Using Snapseed Raw I processed the image. Uploaded it to WordPress, and now you view it. The whole process took around 10 minutes.
Take care,
George
