VW Beetle

Here are a couple of photos of my 1976 VW Beetle. My son decided to wash and wax it so now its for sale. Beautiful car and it starts first time every time. Brilliant engineering for its time.

Nikon D7000 Colour

Went for a drive on Easter Sunday and after a few miles of directions from my best friends, I ended up in the middle of nowhere beside a lake that has had very few visitors throughout the ages.

For one family it was home for a long time and when I saw the old house that has long since been abandoned, I was so glad I had my camera with me. My friend Yvonne had told me it was an old run down house but that I’d love it and all I can say is that she knows me better than I know myself.

The photos I took need nothing to enhance them. It was a beautiful sunny day and although the light was harsh, I think it really added to the photos. I took 3 bracketed shots hand held using my wide angle 12-24mm nikon lens and then merged the 3 shots later to produce the photo. I have a lot more which I will upload later.

Comments are appreciated. Enjoy.

Just look at all those layers of paint and imagine the lifetime/s it took to achieve this.

Galtee Mountain Evening

Galtee Mountains EveningTaken at a seconds notice so no time for messing about with aperture or shutter speed or any of the technical aspects and certainly no time for finding a tripod or a bean bag. Hand held and hope for the best. This is a sight I’ve never seen before and I’ve been looking at these mountains for a lot of years. (of course it may still happen when I’m away or working but you know what I mean)
