    The Giants Got Wind

    Windy on the North Coast as the setting sun shows her face for a few brief moments. A reminder tonight of the conditions to come over the next 6 months. Lots of wiping raindrops and sea spray from the front of lens and filters. Plenty of rain soaked and wind swept days. Hot coffee in a flask at...

    Hi all I could have sworn that I could alter my settings via the viewfinder rather than the screen in bright light but I can't seem to was I dreaming? ??

    Is Fujifilm Finepix S1 image quality really as bad as they say?

    I am looking for a new mid-range bridge camera. One that I am considering is the Fujifilm Finepix S1. However, I have been put off by many reviews saying the picture quality is poor. Most seem to blame the size of the sensor. But most cameras in that class have the same size sensor, so are...

    A Grand Old Summers Day

    Overlooking the beach at Portballintrae, on the Causeway Coast in Northern Ireland. Makes a fine (and alternative) walk into the famous Giants Causeway. Stop for ice cream (or a cold beer) and then return for fish and chips. A grand way to spend a summers day I say.

    Cutting Your Own Path [Edit 2 added]

    Some detail from a river which flows through the Poison Glen in Co.Donegal ... just before we started our ascent of Errigal.

    Your Beauty Blows Me Away

    Picking out the smaller details with the Fujifilm 100-400 ... Two exposures blended to give appropriate depth of field across the two stalks .. No more than 50 foot away was a forest full to bursting with wild garlic. Never before lay in a dew soaked field at 5.30am contemplating chicken...
