HDR. Photograph’s

Was down in Trim in County Meath,  Ireland and spend a few hours walking around. Going over to the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul at Newtown. It was a cold and damp, not a great day for photography. So back in the warmth I played around in Photoshop and HDR toned a couple of photo’s. Now I don’t do much Photoshop for I really don’t know a lot about it. I did enjoy playing around with it while watching the turf burning bright in the fire and the fog drop outside. I have looked at other HDR photo’s with mixed feelings. Some seem to bring a photo to life and others an overkill. I enjoy all types of art work and like all image types. Street art to the classics I enjoy but HDR I’m still on the fence. Maybe when I paint or draw it takes personal input to get the same effect, while its just a case of letting the software alter the data in a photograph with HDR. It’s something I will play around with and see what effects can be had and then see if my thoughts on it change. I’m not judging those that like and us it, I will play around with it and see where I land.

Lambeg Parish Church, Lisburn  County Antrim, Ireland.

I pass this church most days, so decided to stop by and photograph the river that passes close by.  Turned out the river view was not great. Since I had parked in the church car park, I thought I might take a look around. So this is one off the photographs I shot there.

And here is a little History about the Church.

Thank you for viewing.

Thought about what should today’s Photo, some days its just the image that counts. Others I like to put a meaning behind it. It could be something said or an action by someone or thing. So by the time I got in tonight it was dark, I took a walk around the outside of my mothers house. Armed with a flashlight and camera I noted the little things she had gathered up over the years. Using flash I shot a few off these out door ornaments .

While looking through the photos, it showed the love and care a parent has when bring us up through our young live’s. In the Owl is the wisdom that we receive from them. The bird, the love and care we are given with nothing asked in return.  The gnome represents all the hard work and labour over the years in tending and supplying to our living and educational needs. The sleeping Mole, all the nights we slept while our parents watched over us through illness and injuries. Perhaps it’s just me getting older and seeing things that are not there. Tonight when I roll over to sleep, I will think of the little Mole. The times my parents missed there sleep, never to complain. So I would like to thank my parents for the love they gave.

Thank you for reading.

I’m lucky my folks are still around and I still have the chance to return their love and kindness.

Out for a walk in Donadea Forest Park in County Kildare Ireland, a damp day cool day.  A lot of families use the park, feeding the ducks, walking the dog having a picnic or just grabbing a coffee in the magical tea shop. So walking around the small lake I came across a tree, some might say it is a forest park and trees are all around. This is a special tree, a tree where the child’s pacifier/dummy’s goes when they are ready to give them up. Here is a photo from the Dummy Tree.

Think of all the hours off comfort on this branch, , I wonder if the children ever return to see the special place where they left it.

Thank you for viewing.

Can’t help myself when it comes to the view from the garden, so today the light was beautiful and I can’t help it. so it’s another view from our garden.

Hope you enjoy the view has much I do. Thank you for viewing.

PS. If you look closely in the tree on the right hand side, you will see a black and white bird. This is a Cormorant a large sea bird.
