Latchiko: It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

§ December 23rd, 2009


During a bitterly cold photowalk around Adare with Denis and Gary we were lucky enough to get an inspiring snow shower.

Happy Christmas!

Porchfield: Leafy Look

§ December 23rd, 2009

I know that this looks a bit set up but is is taken, with the sun behind, in a hedge-grow at Newtown cemetery. No manipulation except for a tweak in contrast and sharpening. I love this sharp chill but after seeing a few of the homeless on the news tonight I feel very fortunate not to have to sleep out.

Bare naked trees are all you’ll see along the Marina in Blackrock at this time of year but in April the leaves are budding and life is returning.

Hot off the Memory Card: Pointing Leaves

§ December 23rd, 2009


Pointing Leaves
Leaves of the Poinsettia. I'm not so hot on macro photography but I liked this composition. Possibly I'm making this up, but: I like the way the eye wanders along the main vein, out the smaller vein towards the leaf in the background and then down again to the red petal. Plus, it's got diagonal lines and triangles a-plenty -- that's all you need for a great image, isn't it? ;-)

Its not very often I have to thank comment spam for something, but in this case its giving you this picture.

This year has been hectic, and a few days ago I dumped the contents of my camera’s memory card on to a stick before bringing it with me out in the cold. For the record I was worried about corruption in the frost, naturally the camera never got used.

Anyway, I got a change to glance through the pictures taken since September. And I discovered the later shots taken as part of a photowalk in Cork. Not the ones from the start of the walk, but only the later ones.

I was convinced that I had lost them. Then I had to go in to my comment spam, only to discover a comment on one of my photos from the walk. Turns out I had uploaded them, but left some of the later ones on the memory card.

I still have three months of photographs to process, but I haven’t lost anything. Except my mind of course.

2009 has been a year of mess and hassle. I’m hoping for improvements  in 2010. But thanks to early morning traffic mysteriously vanishing off the roads on the run up to Christmas, there is already a small improvement; five minutes extra in bed.

Here’s hoping for a great 2010.

Will
