We went down to Killarney this afternoon, and while there visited Torc Waterfall. It’s a beautiful location, the walk up to it is through a tree covered path surrounded by green-mossy rock and vegetation. I snapped a few shots up there so imagine my surprise when I saw that someone had posted a photo of the falls on Photosig a few minutes ago!
It’s unlike any of the ones I took, and it’s nice for me to see a different perspective on a beautiful scene!

Horse
Today I took delivery of a new Canon 75-300 IS USM lens. It’s a nice zoom lens, although seemingly slated by everyone who has used more expensive lenses. That seems to be par for the course – the lenses I can afford aren’t up to much apparently.
On the way home I took a few photos of horses in a nearby field. Here’s one I liked..
Here’s a 100% crop fron the photo below. The shot out of the camera is a little soft but hover over the photo to see what effect a simple unsharp mask does for the sharpness of the image.
What is it?
What is this? I’ll give you a few guesses before I post the answer tomorrow!
Shock as Bush snubs Irish candidate for Pope
As cardinals gather to elect a new pope, a shocking photo was released showing President Bush snubbing the Irish candidate for the Papacy!
(Thanks John!)
Ardmore Village and Round Tower
Following on from Frank’s suggestion a few days ago I took a trip down to Ardmore yesterday!
Alas, I have a sorry tale to tell, my trusty Sony 717 camera may have shot it’s last photo. It now sees nothing but black and I’ll have to inquire about getting it fixed. Missed the beautiful sunset later of a blazing red ball of flame setting over Youghal later too! *sob*
James Blonde – Super Spy
Shocking night in Kinsale on Saturday. Happy birthday Justin! Anyone else see this secret agent around the place? He was keeping a low profile and so hard to spot.
GIMP Lomo Examples
GIMP Lomo Plugin
mF posted a Lomo plugin for the GIMP. His example images on flickr look good but I haven’t been able to get the script to run in GIMP 2.0, will try in GIMP 2.2 tonight.
