junk rust barrel

maybe what's left after a couple of trinidadian steel drums :o/

a bit more eos stuff

guinness brewery tour - strictly for tourists

guinness brewery tour - strictly for the birds

so, better with tourists or without tourists? i can't make up my mind - probably with.

apple blossom (i'm guessing)

the red portion of the castle compliments the blossom, no? yes? no?

eos takes on the swirls

different camera, different day, different light, better definition on the grille. i could tweak it but - i don't know... you decide. :o)

guinness critters.

in dublin, enjoying the new zoom lens! first time actually out and about and, boy, it's like having a brick around your neck. it takes me time to get used to the feel of new stuff; just on basic auto for these few shots.

duhb linn garden

at least i think it was called that. opposite the castle anyway.

phone garry 5 lines.

sign writing is a dying trade. he had FIVE whole lines when he had his name painted on the wall. i expect he's got broadband now...

hey you!

the ixus is a fine camera but the delay when the shutter's released is a tad slow. these buskers on busy grafton street drew the crowds but many more passed by! it's a case of one eye on the subject and one eye casing the street, looking for potential gaps in the traffic... but nothing's perfect! this bloke caught me out.

i just lurve clone brush though. cropping as much as desirable, i'm still left with a bit of toe and most of his hand - but clone brush paints over the offending parts other brushes don't reach and it only takes a minute.

i turned it black and white because i thought it suited - but i'm not sure now. it's a subjective thing... :o/
