Vinegar Hill! What size lens did you use?
Great pic!

Morrisseeee · 24-11-2008 6:25pm

It was with an old 100-300mm Pentax lens, probably taken at 300mm.

Background: I then loaded up the pic in Photoshop CS3 & used a Blur tool to blur the houses to enhance the Cathederal. I was going to delete the pic at first as there were too many distractions in it, but I liked the way the birds were just flying around the Cathederal, then when I zoomed in on the original pic I thought I'd give the Blur tool a try !

Here's a new one.

Morrisseeee · 25-11-2008 11:48am

Nice photo.
Is it the Wexford end of Curracloe beach ?

25-11-2008 12:22pm

I thought that at first but I don't think it is, or else its a really old one.

sam_mom1 · 25-11-2008 10:20pm

Ballymoney??? ive never been there, but i think thats curracloe off in the distance so its must up the coast

Badabing · 25-11-2008 10:41pm

Is it sheilbaggan?

St Senan · 26-11-2008 12:02am

I reckon its up around Castletown that looks like Tara hill in the background

Mahatma coat · 26-11-2008 5:33am

Scaller has it. It's the sand dunes south of the Coast Guard station at Kilmichael, looking south. The beach is called Kilpatrick. A great place for a few photographs (particularly at sunrise), good for birdwatching and generally just a nice place for a good walk.

26-11-2008 9:28am

Where is that? I haven't heard of Kilmichael before and it looks a really nice beach, like Curracloe was 15 years ago.

Morrisseeee · 26-11-2008 12:02pm

OK, here's a very difficult one, I've brightened it considerably to give ye a chance, I will give an answer on it by 8pm tonite as I won't have Internet access for the next few days! I'll give hints as the day goes on!

26-11-2008 12:12pm

Tricky photo! Not out near Bridgetown is it?

You can PM me the answer if you want. Might keep the photo going for a while then!

Kilmichael is at the very north of County Wexford almost at the Wicklow border. If you head north from the Golden Anchor pub along the coast road for about two miles you will come to a small roadway to the right hand side, with a small finger post sign for sea angling. This road is a cul-de-sac, with grass in the middle of the road in places and ends at the coast guard station after about a mile. You'll need your boots from here, follow the wall around the station, climb the gate, and start walking southward.

Morrisseeee · 26-11-2008 2:31pm

near Bridgetown is it?

....Nope.

Ok, I'll PM you the answer at 8pm.

Hint 1: Northern half of the county.

arseagon · 26-11-2008 5:41pm

I'm going to take a guess at Davidstown Cemetary?

St Senan · 26-11-2008 8:12pm

Ballyoughter cemetary

Morrisseeee · 26-11-2008 9:05pm

No and no.
Please try again, I'll give zaraba the answer.
Hint no. 2: Is/was there a Castle here ? mmmm!

St Senan · 26-11-2008 10:14pm

Dilbert75 · 26-11-2008 10:33pm

Marshalstown cemetery?

thedarkroom · 27-11-2008 9:24am

It's not Castletown, is it?

Morrisseeee · 28-11-2008 9:16pm

No no & no but..........very close Dilbert75 !!

Morrisseeee · 01-12-2008 8:28pm

Ok........I'm guessing ye have had enough !
Marshallstown was close, it is actually Castledockrell Cemetery.

Bearhunter · 11-12-2008 4:36am

Not Ballyconigar so? Okay, how about Ballyvaloo? It's been a while since I was there, but it looks like it could be the walk down from where the nuns used to live.

If it's the same place I'm thinking off we always just called it St Helen's beach. Lovely beach and was usually pretty quiet, the steps down to the beach seemed massive when we were kids.

12-12-2008 11:59pm

Yeah, I think you are right, looks like St Helens.

Lindt · 13-12-2008 12:35am

acer911 · 13-12-2008 3:16am

Lindt · 14-12-2008 12:53am

Tip; Close to Enniscorthy.

Bearhunter · 14-12-2008 1:30am

Borodale, one of my favourite spots. And taken from the walkway down by the soldier's hole, by the looks of it.

St Senan · 14-12-2008 1:30am
