When you click your pixie signature it brings you to a dead flickr link!

My camera has decided that it doesn't like working when it's cold, so my range is limited to what's directly outside my front door.

got some nice ones in the phoenix park this morning - even though i was gently told a few times to stop snapping at the papal cross by some guy from the OPW???? Apparantley you need permission beforehand to shoot at every OPW site now!!! :rolleyes: Some tasty language was exchanged!

Wow, while obviously that's not true, it's sad that som jobsworth in the park services would say it is.

Snow in Leopardstown today:

Finally snow hits Belfast!!

Ammo!

A two man snowfight that started along the banks of the Thames ended up underneath Big Ben, much to the delight of school children on fieldtrips and the disgust of suits and businessmen. Twats.

Hi and welcome,

Check out the FAQ in the stickies - there's a tutorial in there which shows you how. Basically you need to wrap the image url with IMG tags - but its all there in the tutorial.

Cheers.

The distictive prow of Benbulben disappears, submerged in a snow cloud.

Borderfox · 06-02-2009 11:48am

I got this one in page 3 of the Meath Chronicle today

mollser · 06-02-2009 11:59am

great photos guys - I'd be most grateful if anyone could get a landscape pic of the Dublin mountains this morning - they looked stunning with the snow still sitting on the trees and the blue skies...

I'm in work so can't get out - many thanks!

mehfesto2 · 06-02-2009 12:25pm

Congrats Borderfox!
It looks like the end of it today - the sun is splitting the stones here.

Makes a strange change for us in Sligo not to get the rough weather! We've had sun all week, while the East ground to a halt. Yesterday was the first chance I got to take some Snow shots, and then only on high ground.

Snowline, with the mountain tops hidden by snowclouds.

I was too late for the blue sky and did not want to drive there (I love my car!;))
But at least a first impression of Dublin mountains...

Taken at the Royal Tara Golf Club before the club members arrived with their carts and clubs.

I think I saw you crossing the bridge with your tripod.

wasnt me, didnt have a tripod with me, in fact I was drunk at the time I took those photos LOL
Lost my lens hood in the snow too, but found it the next morning, oh and i got so much snow on the lens
Poor camera. I was the guy with snowball in hand camera in the other chasing people! Later on in the night we made a snowman over 6ft tall. Have a photo but Im afraid at that stage the simple photography skills I had, (i.e point and shoot), were long gone

:pac:
Good Times

oh oh on another note - anyone know any good vantage points to get a sweeping view of the dublin mountains without the need of a telephoto lens. I want to try a panorama tomorrow.

What kind of lens did you use and what distance were you from the birdie? Yes, Im a total newbie.

Supercell · 06-02-2009 10:03pm

Guys 'n Gals , I think this needs to be added with the weekend looming.

There is HUGE amounts of snow on the mountains. Please please please, don't become another emergency and take your pictures in appropriate clothing.

Drifts in the mountains are bloody dangerous.

If you are gonna hit the mountains to take some pics please make sure you are equipped for the worst.

/here ends the public service announcement.

Don't forget to bring a flashk of hot tae and some cookies with you.

The lens is a Sigma 70-300mm - their cheapy model! Its a bit worn at this stage and grinds a bit on autofocus but I love the bokeh it gives - tis not very contrasty though and generally i end up adding lots in PP.

Distance was about 15ft. I was indoor and he/she was searching for a bit of food landed on the window sil and walked along.

The one above is shot through a patio glass door - if you look closely you'll see a lot of smudge's and snow/frosting on the glass pane but it turned out not too bad i'd guess. I must clone out those smudges

Above shot at 300mm which reports back as 450mm in a 35mm equivalent.

af_thefragile · 06-02-2009 11:06pm

^I bout that lens 2nd hand a couple of weeks ago. Its dead cheap for a lens of that telephoto power and yes its auto-focus is slow and it lacks image stabilisation but its a great lens for the price! It does lack contrast and sharpness but that can easily be fixed with some pp.
And for the auto focus issues, i first focus it manually and then switch to AF for the camera to make it sharper. Its macro function is quite good too!

The last of the snow?

bernard0368 · 07-02-2009 10:51am

Tallaght yesterday

Mount Leinster

This was shot from the ring road in Kilkenny where its actually quite mild and dry, and this too was shot with the super cheap and cheerful Sigma 70-300. I tried using my fancy Nikkor 80-200 f/2.8 first but I was just too far away.
