Portballintrae with camera

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!!

Weather Vane

marydoll — Fri, 21 Feb 2025 00:42:01 +0000

by: marydoll

Description: This weather vane is on our town hall, I wanted to take a photograph of it today to see how the cropping would work. It was only the 24-105 lens and it was far away from where I was so in the circumstances I think it's not too bad, far from perfect but ok.

Heart Stonework

marydoll — Fri, 21 Feb 2025 00:38:30 +0000

by: marydoll

Description: While taking photographs of the buildings, I remember this local Church Hall building had a 'heart' stone on it. I've heard two stories of how it originated. First one is workmen were playing cards one day and the Rector caught them (they should have been working) and he gave off to them. The stonemason decided to put in the 'heart' stone. The other is the stonemason was refused time to go to a funeral so he left a 'heart' stone as a memory. I used 'spot' metering for the first time today and I'm not entirely sure if I knew what I was doing!! I need so much practice with the R6!!

Old Buildings gone

by: marydoll

Description: This is the site of the 'old buildings' I posted earlier. This week they have been demolished. This is a big event in our town and soon one of our old hotels will be demolished too! All in preparation for the Open Golf Championship this year. Not really a photographic capture for a photograph but I haven't been out with the camera as it's been very cold and grey here.

A Big Mistake

by: marydoll

Description: Well, this is what happens when I rushed out of the house, after an Aurora alert, without having checked the camera. Wrong lens on camera 28-70 then I compounded things by not putting the lens to manual focus!! I could see the red all over the sky!!!! Had to rush home to get my wide angle lens!!!

Pictures from an exhibition-Overall display

davet47 — Mon, 18 Nov 2024 19:30:42 +0000

by: davet47

Description: Some of you may be aware that my wife of almost 56 years (Elf29) passed away from Cancer in April at this Hospice. We had decided to donate some photographs that we had taken over the years to the hospice for use in their in-patient ward, so I printed and framed fifteen pictures (should have been twelve but I couldn't decide!) The pictures in the centre shot are unframed additions.A staff member suggested that we did an exhibition in one of their rooms, so these photos form my part of a joint exhibition with members of Coedpoeth Camera Club (I'm not a member!) who had coincidentally contacted the hospice about doing an exhibition to raise funds. It's open from 19-11-24 until 06-12-2024 to the public and prints can be ordered through the hospice.

Eclipse!

PaulieT — Tue, 09 Apr 2024 00:23:07 +0000

by: PaulieT

Description: Mother nature did not cooperate during the eclipse today, where I live in eastern Pennsylvania. Clouds rolled in when the sun was about 1/4 covered. So, after waiting for a long time for a clearing, I slowed the shutter to 1.3 seconds and made this image through the cloud layer.
