Description: I wish I'd been in a better position to take this photograph! The 105mm was just not close enough to take this!

Description: Another favourite in this part of the world. I'm sure guys on this site are not interested in pics of these guys but I just enjoyed trying to photograph them, it's not easy as there was a big crowd at the event.

Description: Motor cyclist at the North West 200 - I'm not able to take pics of them on their bikes, they move too fast for me. So Meet the Riders is an alternative for me!!

Preparations for the Golf

Description: Preparations are well on the way for the 153rd Golf Championship. Roads are being closed and re-surfaced, the town is full of builders, working of many properties and other places are being painted. It's great to watch it all going on.

Description: Between roads being closed, for weeks, to be resurfaced and builders' vans everywhere in town. Preparations for the Open are in full swing. I couldn't resist a 'sign' photograph.

Londonderry Rail Line

Description: This was taken with a very old Nikon P4400 camera, which I used to use all the time back about 1999, I came across it and put batteries in it and it's still working. I read somewhere there is a cult following of this camera, not sure if that is correct.

Lights

Description: While out tonight I thought this look a different composition for a sunset to include the street light. I've lost my photography interest, recently.

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.
