CillDaraMan: New Years Eve with a difference
1/800, f/4, ISO 100, E-510, 40.0-150.0 mm f/4.0-5.6 @ 40 mm
Though it’s been very mild at home here in Kildare over the Christmas and New Year period I doubt if many folk in Ireland spent the morning of New Year’s Eve having a barbie on the beach and watching the locals enjoying themselves in the sunshine.
Four years ago I had the pleasure of doing that (despite the jet lag) and have to say it’s a great way to finish the year.

It was the colour that drew me to this entrance.

inphotos.org: Charlie Chaplin’s Kerry Accent
Charlie Chaplin, the star of silent movies of a bygone era spoke with a Kerry accent. Well, he did when he spent time in the town of Waterville in that county of Ireland. So his daughter says in this RTE documentary called “Kerry and the Tramp”.
It’s a wonderful documentary to listen to, especially as they interviewed his family and people who met him who all had their own stories about the actor.
I did not know that he was practically forced out of the United States because the authorities there suspected he was a communist. They let him back in the 70′s, but only for 15 days. He joked that they were still afraid of him!
I installed the RTÉ DocOnOne app but it’s stuck on the “Loading” page so best to not use that if you’re on Android. Does the iPhone version works better?
Then I was left wondering how do I subscribe to an itunes podcast without itunes but thankfully searching for “documentaries on one” in Podkicker worked!

Kyle Tunney Photography: Enniscrone Sunset Sligo
I’m off in the West for a few days before the new year, it has to be one of my favourite places in Ireland to shoot. Sligo, Mayo & Galway have so much to offer. This is a shot from a few weeks back in Enniscrone, Sligo. The light was just superb.
I hope Christmas was good to everyone and you all have a healthy and happy new year!!

Mallow Camera Club: Dingle Outing
l to r , Barry , Jim ,Rodney, John, Margaret ,Neilly ,Terry and Bill
The club outing took place yesterday 28 of december in dingle under the guidance of John Flynn. Eight members braved the weather conditions and travelled down . We had an early start leaving mallow from the arches at 6am . We visited cappagh,clogher,smerwick and kinard beaches. The weather proved challenging but also provided some great oppurtunities for good images to be taken
Events of the day.
Jim got wet, [again], Jim got a headache, Neilly forgot his wellies and there were reports that chairman Barry Linnehan was seen wringing out his socks .
All in all a great day was had , we had good craic and banter and everyone was glad they braved the weather.

A flower or weed? A weed is only a flower in the wrong place, or so I’ve heard. This was taken at Seaside in Florida during the Automattic meetup there in 2010. Beautiful beach there, horrible humidity in September!
This will probably be my last post of the year here so happy new year and I hope 2012 is a great one for you!
