Inspired by the psuedo-IR tutorials I linked to yesterday I walked down by the Regional Park and took the following shots. Lots of post-processing in the GIMP, and none were handled the same. It’s amazing what can be squeezed out of night-shot mode of a Sony digital camera!
They’re all over the place but didn’t stop major damage to many shops and premises in the city center. I guess the road works didn’t make things any better for retailers or shoppers alike. Hopefully we won’t see floods as bad as that again this year. Did anyone see Clonmel on the news? Yikes! I had parked in places that were about 3 or 4 feet deep in water!
As usual, the Lee Fields flooded so I went out for a scout around. My shoes are sopping but I got a few good shots! At least others had fun in the water!
| Awwww! Such beautiful creatures! Majestic, rulers of their domain, proud! |
| Oh My God! He’s getting close! Must zoom out! |
| Aarrrggghhh! Jump back! Bloody thick headed bird went for me! |
This is fun! After reading this tutorial on making cartoons from photos I tried to emulate his technique in the GIMP. The dialogs are slightly different but here’s what I did..
Play around with Layer mode settings, desaturate the top layer, blur or otherwise mess up the bottom layer. Endless fun can be had! Feel free to post links to your own creations in the comments below!
Later.. on advice I got rid of the portrait, I’ll upload another tomorrow!
Oh wow! What a great day! The organisers say there was well over 7,000 entrants this year, 1,000 over last year’s race! Bishop Buckley was in attendance, as were lots of charities and societies.
Well done Louise on doing the race too!
A great day was had by all and I’ll be back next year to cover it again!
The Willful played in the Coal Quay Bar last night and went down a storm! Great night, especially as I hadn’t been to that pub in months!
Baaahh!
This is one of my favourite photos. Yummy! Must take a look at the other photos I took of these flowers. Sure to be a few more keepers in there!
