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.

Update! Here is a GIMP Lomo plugin that works in GIMP 2.4!

Sneem Sunset – 3 photo panorama
The picture above is a panorama made up of 3 hand-held shots taken in Sneem, Co. Kerry.
Stitching them together in the GIMP was fairly easy – adjust colours and brightness, line them up using semi-transparent layers and then use a layer mask and a gradient to make the joins mostly invisible. The tree branches were a bother though – I had to clone out some of them!
I really should document some of this stuff as this was a good example – because of the sunset each photo had very different light qualities and it was important to fine tune and match those colours.
