Hmmm, someone has an issue with someone else!

This is the first in a series of shots from the World Wide Photo Walk on Saturday July 18th. Gary and I took part in two walks, one in Limerick, run by Kevin. And the other in Adare.

Nice fella though, he posed for everyone on the walk!

This is no ordinary fly… it’s a tiny tiny fly. It was just a theeveen** under 2mm long. I took this using the 75mm-300mm with a reversing ring and my 50mm on the end. The depth of field is extremely shallow, but that might be because I’m doing something wrong. I’ll just need to take some time and play around with the setup a little. This is the quick and dirty approach to Macro Photography, anyone considering giving it a go, you’ll need to get your hands on a decent “real” macro lens.

**I may not have spelled it correctly, but for anyone wondering what a Theeveen is: “A theeveen is the smallest unit of measurement known to man” – Eanna Carroll, 2007.

This poser just lay there taking in all the attention. Not one bit scared of me.

An unusual looking Thistle (as in it’s not the type you normally see around here). Taken in Castlegregory, Co. Kerry.

As everyone around the world knows, there is a “Holy Stump” in the grounds of a church in Rathkeale, Co. Limerick. This was considered to be newsworthy by the BBC, SKY News and word has spread as far as Australia and the US. See the Irish Independent’s coverage here.

The image above is the crowd of believers gathered around the Holy Stump. Below, my shot of the stump itself… I just couldn’t get near it with the crowds.

Me? I just don’t see it to be honest. Not alone that, but using the Father Ted system of rating religious relics, I’d say it isn’t upto the standard of a Class II relic like “The Holy Stone of Clonrichert”… I reckon it’s only a Class IV relic. And I’m being generous at that.
