By total chance caught this guy on his way to work at my lunchtime today - it's a real pity he did not walk a few feet closer to Phil:rolleyes:

The last one is him working - he does a Grafton St. statue imitation act.

That is a top class B&W photo - what filter did you use(if any)?

Yeah, it's a great spot. The weird thing is the whole beach disappears at high tide. All the way back to the little hill.

Thanks!

I used a polarizer. I also use the B&W mix sliders in Lightroom for my conversions. So, when I have a sky with a lot of blue, I can dial up or down the luminance of various colours. It gives an effect much like a red filter with B&W film. I also used the green and yellow sliders to bring out the grass on the hills a little bit to give them some definition.

I had guessed is was good use of filters ok - you seem to have a great lightroom set-up.

Please keep posting more - and keep an eye on the assignments - that would have come close in the B&W one:)

I got caught out on that.... was sitting on the little headland and the tide was on its way in. I was spent too much time taking photos/staring at the sea and had to wade through 2 foot of water to get beck to dry land

Did you manage to get to omey island whilst in connemara? The whole strand there disappears at high tide

Not on this trip, but I did make it there on another trip in March.

This was taken a little right of where the cars cross. It was heading towards high tide, so I didn't go across. Not the best image, but...

I would say our good friend HomerSimpson must be upset over the tragedy in Donegal- hopefully no close family or friends were involved.

Messing about with a red filter on some Efke Aura IR film in the studio. The ba$tard fogged on me in development AGAIN. I wish I could figure out what I'm doing wrong. I like it though

It's not something silly like a red lamp left on is it?

I know its better to keep to one pic per post but i will prob end up posted these three at some stage so i hope you's dont mind me putting the 3 of them in, one photo doesn't do this monster of a Golden eagle any justice...
