The weir on the River Lagan in Lisburn Co.Antrim. It was the play of the lights on the water that caught my eye. I took a few at different shutter speeds to get a texture on the water when captured in that few seconds. This was shot was around the 26 seconds exposure.
Thanks for viewing.
Since I’m on the road early in the morning which means it’s still dark and there’s little or no people about. I set up my tripod on the path on the other side of the River Lagan to capture the lights and also the weir on the river. The Island art centre is in Lisburn in county Antrim, Northern Ireland. This part of the river is where the coal barge’s use to bring coal into the city from Belfast. There are no boats on the river now but the tow path that runs along it’s length to Belfast is now a walk/cycle path. It covers around 13 mile and takes in the Lagan valley regional park.
With a few days of freezing weather and mist over the lough it has started to freeze over.
Here are a few photographs from the lough edge.
With a heavy frost build up on the plants and the waters freezing over it gives a whole new look and feeling to the place.
Thank you for visiting.
So a misty morning greeted me with a heavy frost coating the world in fine jewels. Just me and the dog out for a morning stroll, with a 17-70 zoom on the camera we headed out. With the mist acting like a giant softbox the landscape soft on the eye, my old pal and I headed off down the road.
Yes this is a road, one of the many little L roads in Ireland.
A stop at one of the small loughs and it’s soft on the eye with the mist still down.
A couple of close ups for the foliage
A beautiful morning in a grand part of Ireland where the pace is slow and the company great.
Thanks for dropping by.

The gate lodge
A photo from another early morning walk, this is one of two gate lodges in Wallace Park in Lisburn, Co.Antrim.
Thank you for viewing.
Light dance
Had this shot in my head for a while and with dusk dropping in and the light reflecting on the lough I had to stop. When there is no breeze the loughs turn to mirrors for a short time every evening and you can just see it starting here on the water.
Thank you for visiting
Nobody Waiting
Wallace Park at 6.20am on a cold damp morning with the star’s shining in a clear sky. Just after this photo was taken. a group of joggers passed by and the dog walkers arrived. So a short chat with a couple wanting to know how I can take photo,s in the dark. It was time to pack up and head to work.
Thank you for viewing.
Street light
Due to early mornings being dark and the light is fading when going home the only time I can shoot is when its dusk or dawn. So have been out early some mornings while on my way to work. This way taken in a car park with the street lights illuminating the tree. With a long exposure and a light wind you can see movement in the branch’s and not the jogger that ran in front of the camera.
Thank you for visiting
Rock-faces.
While looking at this scene I was amazed to see faces in the rock, ok I know its just light and shadows but to me they are there. Anyone else see them? Our you might see something different, like a lump of rock..
This was processed to mimic kodachrome 64 film. Well known for its punchy colours and loved by many 35 and 120 film photographers.
Thank you for viewing
