Well, we’ve been having a November break at the Royal Court Hotel, in Portrush, Co.Antrim – if you’ve never stayed there, make it a bucket-list destination! Right on the North Coast of N.Ireland, across the road from the majestic White Rocks Beach and a short drive from the world famous Giant’s Causeway – and they do a fantastic buffet at reasonable prices… along with an a la carte menu for the foodies..

Needless to say I had a camera to hand – the Nikon F100. loaded with Kodak T-Max 100, a film I’ve never used before. I developed the road for 9 minutes at 20 degrees in FD10. More photos to follow, but for now, here’s a couple of shots from Coleraine (Janette likes to visit the nearby major town for the superb shopping).

I often spend time by the Bann, – but much further south, nearer to Lough Neagh, – but by the time it reaches Coleraine, it’s broad and lazy, and ready to enter into its estuary, and on out to the Atlantic. That deep, slow water produces fantastic shadows, – and the bridge across the river is an ideal vantage point.

From the landward side of the bridge, the winter trees reflect in the lazy water, standing tall beside the Water Margin Restaurant.
