Ireland

2007-06-04T19:08:00.000+01:00

A few photos from Dublin, Ireland, I might upload more later, but my computer's trying to die which makes processing my photos a bit of a pain.

Now And Then Pt. 3

I messed up the angles a bit on this one.

Now And Then

2007-03-01T09:55:00.000Z

I stole this idea from Hidden Glasgow, I found some old photos of Giffnock then I went to the same spots to take modern day pictures as a comparison, I'll take some more (and hopefully better shots) in some other places later, but it's interesting to see how things have changed.

The pictures were a little dull so I tone mapped them to make them slightly more interesting :)

Sums up Govan

2006-10-11T20:58:00.000+01:00

Not a very good photo, but this snapshot tells you everything you need to know about Govan:

Some more pictures taken in Govan

2006-10-09T19:44:00.000+01:00

I'm still trying to get some decent pics of the Glasgow skyline from Govan without being stabbed to death in the process and here's some of the results:

Welcome To Govan (Ya Bass)!

2006-10-06T19:18:00.000+01:00

I've been working in Govan for the past week and I decided to bring along my old digital compact camera along and snap some pictures and here's the results:

This was the 2nd heron I spotted in Govan, I think it was a bit slow since it didn't seem to realise anything that's not moving is a target.

It's not a camera trick, the water really is this green, it's the dodgiest looking water I have ever seen.

The Door

If you like this shot feel free to buy a print of it.

Holiday Snaps

2006-07-28T18:22:00.000+01:00

I'm just back from my one week holiday with my family and here's a "few" of the pictures I took while I was away.

Culzean Castle etc

Fun with HDR

2006-07-04T18:11:00.000+01:00

These 2 pictures were taken today in George Square are my first proper attempted of HDR, I can't decide which I like best so I've posted them both, they would have been better if there wasn't any people to get in the way.

Here's a few that were taken in my garden.

Self Portraits

2006-07-03T22:55:00.000+01:00

I was having a bit of a play with long exposure to take a self portrait, mostly just as a learning experience and here's the results.

Flowers

A late night walk

2006-06-27T23:24:00.000+01:00

I went for a walk with my sister tonight and brought along my camera in the hope of getting some decent pics, I didn't get as many as I was hoping (I've added a flashgun to my mental shopping list), but here's a few of them.

The below image is my favorite photo of the day :)

Street Photography attempt

2006-06-27T17:11:00.000+01:00

The weather's nice today so I decided to give street photography a go, but I didn't have much luck. I met this lovely lady while wandering the streets, she seemed nice enough, but unfortunatly she wouldn't let me take her photo unless I gave her £2 and I had no cash on me at the time so there's no pictures of her unfortunatly. Anyway, here's the best of the lot (not saying much).

Dramatic sunset

2006-06-26T22:21:00.000+01:00

These pictures really don't do it justice, but for about five minutes tonight a large portion of the skyline west of my house was an extremely intense colour of orange. I wish the world would give me more notice when it's going to do stuff like this so I could be somewhere interesting or at least setup my tripod and lookout a suitable selection of filters.

Walk through Pollok park

2006-06-09T17:50:00.000+01:00

The weather's lovely here today so I went for a walk through Pollok park and here's some of the pics I took :)

Loch Lomond

2006-05-29T17:24:00.000+01:00

I went for a short walk at Loch Lomond today and here's the snapshots :P

Sunset from my window

2006-05-27T21:24:00.000+01:00

Not the most interesting or even a very good picture, but I loved the dramatic lightning.

San Francisco

2006-05-23T18:21:00.000+01:00

Crazy people

2006-05-22T22:43:00.000+01:00

There's no shortage of crazy people and weirdos in San Francisco, but it's a nice place none the less.

Cute things

2006-05-22T22:39:00.000+01:00

The Beach

2006-05-22T22:10:00.000+01:00

Missing textures or just purple?

San Francisco Graffiti

The morning after the storm

2006-05-05T18:36:00.000+01:00

As you can see things are still a bit of a mess from last nights storm.

Out of Focus lightning

2006-05-04T22:03:00.000+01:00

They're a little out of focus, but it's lightning so meh :P

Daffodil

2006-04-29T20:37:00.000+01:00

Taken this earlier this month at Pollock park :)

Twins

2006-04-29T20:35:00.000+01:00

The previous horse and his or her twin :)

Horsey

2006-04-29T20:33:00.000+01:00

I nice horsey I met the other week :)

The Gate

Mr Scarecrow

2006-04-29T20:30:00.000+01:00

Taken at some point last week.

Nice mistake

2006-04-29T18:57:00.000+01:00

The vignetting from my lense hood was accidental, but I quite like the effect it created.

Swans nest

2006-04-29T18:55:00.000+01:00

I spotted this swan sitting in its nest nursing it's young

My Dads back

2006-04-29T18:52:00.000+01:00

I quite like this shot of my Dads back, the peacefulness of the canal and the sky is in contrast with the pylons and the industrial buildings on the horizon.

Another pic that's too dark

2006-04-29T18:51:00.000+01:00

I'm not sure if I just need a new monitor or these pictures are underexposed, but they look too dark to me, what do you think?

Street Photography 2

2006-04-29T18:45:00.000+01:00

I was trying my hand at a little street photography yesterday, I'm still undecided about this shot, but it was one of the best people shots I got yesterday.

Street Photography

2006-04-29T18:39:00.000+01:00

I spotted these 2 on their break and I liked the red of their tops against the yellow of the daffodils. I wish I got some more pics of them, but I'm still not very confident when it comes to taking photos of strangers.

This doctor was on his break too, I'm not sure, but I think the statue is of a doctor and I quite like this shot.

Glasgow Cathedral

Looking back

2006-01-23T21:12:00.000Z

Well I've been playing about with photography for little over a year now (now being 04/07/2006, I've back dated this post to confuse people) and I was having a look over a lot of my older shots (mostly taken with my Canon Powershot A85) and I decided to post some of my favorites here.
