My watch – with it’s incorrect date and crusty strap. Needs a good cleaning.

Dug out the old guitars last night. I’ve forgotten absolutely everything I used to know – except for the intros to “Under the Bridge” by the Chilli’s and “Creep” by Radiohead. One thing I haven’t been able to forget is my complete lack of Rythm – I was hoping this would improve with age.
The Strat (Cream), came all the way from the States back when I was seventeen. Beautiful guitar – it has a nice thin neck, so it’s really easy to wrap your fingers around it.
The Tele (Left), is actually a replica I built for my leaving cert Construction Studies project back in 1998. The body is so thick, you have to sit down while playing it. As a result notes just ring out forever when you pluck the strings. There isn’t a strap strong enough or a human back tough enough to play it while standing up!

The second and final shot in the series of objects from around the house – thought this little statue might be a nice candidate for a little bit of light painting. This was a little trickier than I thought it would be due to the fact that the surface is shiny.
Tried painting several objects around the house last night – thought this one was interesting with the curves. Painted with a small torch.

Very much like yesterday’s photo. I prefer this one myself – still, nothing great. Ideas? Opinions? Comments?

Apologies in advance – this photo and tomorrows photo are very similar!

A shot of the living bridge in UL during the recent floods.

Got my new glass pippettes in the post today… very exciting. €2 for twelve of them. Ideal for various shots that involve drops of water… like this one!! This isn’t exactly how I thought this might work out. I’ll have to give it another shot on some black card instead of the arm of the couch. Will also need to sort out a decent light (possibly a flash) and a macro lens of some sort.

This looks very dark on one of my monitors and very bright on the other…. both have been calibrated. 😐 Can someone let me know whether it looks bright/dark? Thanks!

Another shot from the Holy Trinity Abbey in Adare, Co. Limerick. Not a great shot this – I think I’ve taken photos of all the stained glass windows here this year, but none of the huge non-stained glass windows.

A shadow cast from the iron work at the back of the main Altar at the Holy Trinity Abbey in Adare. The Abbey is believed to have been constructed sometime between 1226 and 1230. Making it around 780 years old! It has been restored a number of times over the years.

I have a backlog of a few photos to get through – hoping to post someof them soon.
