Here’s my (prize-winning) shot of the Belfast-Dublin enterprise express, drawing into Newry station, one August evening in 2011. Taken as the train was still moving, Nikon D700 camera on a tripod.

Le Vendeur de Vin
No, it’s not Paris, it’s Edinburgh, the Paris of the North! Back again to 2004, and the Continental Market on the streets of Scotland’s capital. This French Market Stall is doing what the French seem to do best – export their wine!
Photo-Nerd stuff: Nikon D70 Camera, (6 mp DSLR) f/3.5 @ 1/30th sec on ISO400. Focal Length 44mm.
Folicularly-enhanced Orangemen!
I couldn’t resist this shot.
Walking away from a parade I noticed this gentleman walking in front of me. The look (even from behind) is so incongruous, that it was begging for a photograph. The media and popular perception of members of the Orange Order is as stuffy, staid, conservative, old men. This man just blows those impressions right out of the water!
Here’s the techie stuff:
Nikon D700, 1/250th sec @ f/2.8 on ISO400. Lens at 70mm
Bushmills Advertising Project
When I was studying for my HND Photography, one of the modules was Advertising Photography. As part of the project, we had to select a well known company and create three adverting images that could be presented to that company. I chose the famous ‘Old Bushmills’ Irish Whisky Distillery. I researched their existing and previous advertising campaigns, and asked them how they wanted their product to be recognised – what was their unique selling point. One of their brand images seemed to be the age of the old distillery – It was established early in the seventeenth century. Continue reading Bushmills Advertising Project
Cumbrian Highlights!
Name these Beauty Spots!
Ok, so most things in Cumbria are high! But if anyone can name this mountain I’d be grateful. I captured this shot on a warm April afternoon a few years ago. I love panoramas, and this shot lent itself so well to that format.
On the same visit to the Lake District, I drove off the road into a car park, to find a picturesque bridge. Here it is, captured on an Olympic Pen digital camera:-
Again, if anyone can put a name to the bridge or the river…
No prizes though!
