Day 25

Today marks a big change in my life. It was a day  of first’s, first time to visit Down Cathedral in Downpatrick, Co.Down, Northern Ireland and the the old jail in the same town. Which is now a museum and has a lovely coffee shop and great staff. Now considering I grew up not so far from Downpatrick, I never thought about the above places.

The Cathedral has the grave of Saint Patrick marked and is a tourist attraction from all over the world. So today’s photograph is not of his grave but a beautiful stained glass window in the Cathedral.

 Thank you for viewing

Day 24

Given a damp evening here I thought it a good time to peek through a few windows. I know of this Victorian house close by, so armed with camera and dark clothing off I went. Has luck was on my side the family were home and even the dogs were quiet. So got a few photograph’s, the glass in these old houses are not of great quality . But you do the best you can.

So fear not, I was peeking into a large Victorian style Doll’s house. Hope you enjoy and thank you for viewing.

Day 21

Who’s There ?

Came up with this idea when I came in through the back door, there is a security light that shines down. Setting my camera with a remote trigger set at 10 seconds delay. I fired through the glass with the security light illuminating the shot. I liked this shot with the hand dominating, knocking the door.

Thank you for viewing.

Day 20

Irish dog learns to drive, a secret program has been revealed where Irish dog’s have been spotted driving there owners around. Due to tightening  drink drive laws. Owner’s can now go out for a drink over the Christmas period safe in the knowledge that the driver is alcohol free. The government has stated that any drop in drink related accidents is to be welcomed.

What’s keeping them…..

Thank you for viewing

Day 19

Well a first for me, tonight it is a view of me in front of the camera. Yes a self portrait, never done this before. In fact have done very little portrait’s. Something I would like to do in the coming future, but a few things to finish first.

A single speedlite and soft box.

Thank you for viewing.

Day 18

Right so out of work today while there was daylight left. I drive around to a local lough (loch)  just has the light was getting to the golden hour. After all the heavy rain I knew the water level would be high, and with a strong wind blowing the chance of a few good photographs were on offer. Just has I arrived there and got the camera set up an other car drew up and a young woman got out with a black Labrador dog.  The dark clouds started to fill the sky at this time. Throwing a stick for the dog to fetch, I asked if she would mind if I took some Photo’s . So here is my photo for today.

So meet Bernie.

So thank you to Bernie and owner, a pleasure to meet you both.

And thank you for viewing

Day 17

Close up was the order of the day, found a small dead Millipede in some fine sand in the  potting shed. Was looking for a close up subject and saw the sand. Got a bottle cap and filled it up. When I emptied it there was my photograph.

The object on top is a human hair to add scale to the picture, the small rocks is fine sand  particles. Enjoyed the challenge of this photograph.

Thank you for viewing.
