Description: Very rare to find no one parked in front of this building. This is where people go if they want to see celebrities and have a good pint of Guinness while waiting. Just a phone photograph.

Santa and Elf at the Fireplace

marydoll — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 20:25:14 +0000

by: marydoll

Description: Santa was also the Artist of all the background in these photographs and the Elf's dad was the carpenter! Santa also painted the picture on the fireplace. Later in the shoot the venue provided a long photography light which was good when I was photographing the children. I'm not posting any of the young ones as I do not have permission. I know I'm a bit too close here to Santa but it was only a small room. I used a tripod.

Santa and Elf

marydoll — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 20:21:07 +0000

by: marydoll

Description: I was asked to an event to photograph Santa and his Elf, I am well out of my comfort zone here. The lens on my 7d wasn't wide enough and I don't have a flash for my R6 mk2 not sure if my old flash works on it!! This was taken with the R6 with 24-105L lens. I'd welcome your advice. I didn't take into account the white on Santa's hat and the light about him. I'm not used to indoor photography.

Heron Spreading Wings

Description: The Heron obviously wanted to be at the other side of the river where it stayed for over an hour as it was still there when I came out from an event I was attending.

Heron

marydoll — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 20:13:11 +0000

by: marydoll

Description: I was in Bushmills today (where they make the famous whiskey) and I noticed this Heron on the other side of the river. A dog caused the Heron to fly over just to where I was and sun came out at the same time. It's not often that things like this happen to me. I only had a 28 to 135 lens on the camera, so this is cropped.

Portballintrae with camera

marydoll — Sat, 13 Dec 2025 01:01:28 +0000

by: marydoll

Description: I travelled to a seaside village, near here to take a few pics but Aurora was starting to fade. Of course, once I got home it took of again but I couldn't go out as the car indicated I need my tyre pressure checked! Trip to the garage required! It's good to be out with the camera, after all these months.

Aurora at Portrush

by: marydoll

Description: Well today went from a gentle walk in the morning, surfer stalking afternoon and surprise Aurora just after 6 pm! I'm only posting a few pics but will have some more up another day. To have Aurora in my own home town just pleases me so much. I tried the R6 but just haven't had time to work out the focusing for Aurora yet!!

by: marydoll

Description: These guys were fast! I put on high speed and the R6 knocked the 7d out of the park! I barely pressed the shutter button and camera went at it well.

Description: I haven't been out with my camera recently, between poor weather and exhaustion. We did go for a unplanned walk in the forest one day but it wasn't a nice day. Just thought I'd show up in here to apologise for not being around.

Ambulance Boy

by: marydoll

Description: This guy was also a natural and probably his first stand up on a board, he was so happy when he had finished this run. Again I was glad to capture it for him. Being out with the camera, made me realise how much I miss just pottering about with it.

Description: These surfers are on a team building exercise from the Ambulance Service. My friend asked me to take some pics of them but I couldn't stay long. It was too windy to go down on to the beach with my camera.

Preparing to Surf

marydoll — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 22:30:38 +0000

by: marydoll

Description: A friend asked me to take some photographs of his first-time surfing morning. It was a wild day with rough seas but these guys went in anyway. I used the RF100-300, I haven't had much time to experiment with it. I cannot find these pics on my hard drive but have downloaded these from where I sent them to him privately.

Description: This is at a different location but the same river. My friend is painting a scene on the river and I've taken him there at different times to refresh his memory of the scene and to see it in different light.

by: marydoll

Description: Phone shot of the River Bann in the centre of a local town. I haven't had the opportunity to go out on a regular basis with the camera. Really missing getting out but looking after a friend and he is doing really well.
