Kevin, Gary and the story of the bottomless beer…

Dec 30.

The night started out as a poker night – although only one game was played. We moved onto a game of Death Air Hockey. Both knocked out in the first round, Kevin and Gary decided to toast each other on their loss. With the chink of glass, there was a splash of beer – the bottom fell out of Gary’s bottle! After officials cleaned the Air Hockey table – play resumed. Kevin’s fiancee, Edel, went on to win the tournament.

A very late – but great night – thanks to all for coming along!

My mother graduated in UCC yesterday. Rotten weather, but we had a great day. Went to Jim Edwards in Kinsale afterwards for dinner – beautiful as usual! Well done Mom, we’re all really proud of you!

Not sure about the processing on this one – any comments or suggestions?

Paul O’Connell wins a lineout during training at UL for the Heineken Cup Round 4 Pool match against French side Perpignan. This was the first time I ever managed to get out to see Munster train. I was suprised to see that they record everything – presumably for analysis after training. Hat Tip to Ger for giving me a call to let me know they were on campus.

Happy Feet

Nov 12.

Couldn’t believe this when I saw it… in fact, I nearly choked. Have a good look at this picture. See anything unusual?

There are a pair of feet below the tractor! When I eventually over took, it turns out the feet belong to a young fella sitting on the front of the tractor. He didn’t look warm, comfortable or happy, but at least he didn’t have to walk. The expression on his father’s face (I assume it was his fathers) and his own face were priceless. Safety first – they both had Hi-Vis jackets on. Off to work for the day – hoping the sun would burn through the fog!

It’s all go in the Kemmy Business School. The stock ticker tape continuously spits out prices as the student population march by below. This isn’t exactly how I had imagined this photo, but it didn’t work out too bad. Really really really need to get my hands on a 10-22mm!!!

Must say I prefer this shot. Was shooting at ISO3200 and my 30D doesn’t handle it well – there is so much noise in some of the photos, it’s hard to see what I was trying to get a shot of! That said, I think the noise adds to this shot a little. Any processing recommendations or suggestions from the people that shoot gigs regularly?

If you have some time on your hands, try to get out and see the Million Dollar Swing Band – it’ll be worth the trip!

Liam with The Million Dollar Swing Band at Aubars in Limerick. My first attempt at gig photography – the light was terrible, but I managed to get one or two keepers. The gig itself was really enjoyable.

Everything was in shades of grey this morning on Lough Derg. My Grooveshark plugin appears to be broken – so no music this time – you’ll have to look it up yourselves: Fisherman’s Blues by the Waterboys.

Update: Managed to get the Grooveshark plugin working again!
