David's Shutter Bug Club

[David In Indy]

        I'm laughing WITH you, David, not AT you!!!       

However, having said that, the thought of a squirrel attached to the front of your face . . . . . . . . .        

On serious thought, though, I'm guessing they probably have sharp little claws and teeth.    That wouldn't be funny! 

That's okay Kerry. It wasn't funny then, but I guess it's a little funny now. I don't remember him biting me, but he did scratch me a few times up around my eye brows and on the sides of my face. He latched on and he fell down with me. Once I hit the floor he scurried off to another part of the house.

Okay - so here is a link to all my photos...

You can also look at my thread on what i did at - http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,17137.msg332098/topicseen.html#msg332098

I tried to be quite arty and used black and white, macro and manual on some of my photos - the white screen and quality is still lost on me - I need to reread this thread properly - but I feel I definitewlty made better use of the stuff my camera can do now. I played about with framing but also flash versus no flash versus supressed flash etc etc.

Okay so some I quite like. Please offer honest opinions!!! (Oh and if there is one you think is good bad on kodak site, please feel free to photobucket or save and post back on here or archives).

To give you some background the photos I'm putting on here are generally from day 2 & 3 of my trip to Dublin.

The second day we headed out into the country and did a tour called the Wicklow Mountain Valleys and Lakes tour and we got to see enjoy views of the Wicklow Gap and the Blessington Lakes, and visit the 6th century monastic settlement in Glendalough and see the 10th century Round Tower and St Kevin’s Kitchen there.

We also got to see the pretty Wicklow village of Avoca (where the famous TV show, Ballykissangel was filmed)

Whwn we got back we walked round Trinity College and then had some diner and ventured into the Temple Bar area of the city.

DAY 3

Today we did a tour of Dublin castle, saw Christchurch cathedral and did a little shopping and had a nice lunch before heading back to the airport.

I like this, Kelda! It shows how a SLIGHT change of position can make a big difference....in the first one you were off center a bit...a nice picture that records the building for you





but stepping over a bit you made the picture MUCH more interesting and attractive! (did you change settings or is the difference in coloring a result of natural lighting??




and to me this shot makes the building appear larger....

a good example of composition I think...David??

This was two almost identical shots trying to shoot through the celtic gravestone to get the tower in frame.

Hmm - seems kodak doesn't allow you to put images in from their site - or can you see the images jess? Cos I can't.

The picture sof the jail were taken on autro and I didn't play about with the colour or anything cos I couln't work out how to do that! So that was pure luck - I hadn't realised the colour difference before but now that you mention it!

The lanscape photo was also taken on auto but on landscape mode.
