(C&C) Random photos from Sunday

Fenster

These are several of the photos I took on a long walk on Sunday afternoon. Mostly I would like feedback on how the black and white photos look, as I'm really enjoying those ones up. I'll probably pick up a yellow filter to that end when I go to the US in a few weeks.

I'm not so sure about the car one, but the others are cool!.

Water B&W is a super shot! I love it!
The ripples on the beach is great too.

Thanks for sharing them & keep 'em coming!

The car was from pretty much random snaps while waiting on the bus home. :]

The beach shot is pretty good and you done a fairly good job on the others too. Those clouds look menacing alright in "High above the mean streets of Galway…".:) Well done.

Great shots!!

The one with the cone is excellent, I usually get annoyed at some of the rubbish thrown in our rivers, great to see it been put to use.

And I really like "Water B&W" - where was that one taken - if you don't mind me asking?

1, 2 & 7 are excellent.
The Car one doesnt do it for me.

Its at Rusheen Bay in Barna. At the point where the road from Blackrock meets the Western Distributor coming down onto the coast road there's a big low-lying field leading out onto the bay and its there that this stream is.

Its a concrete construction sunk down into the level of the bay and surrounded by high grass, so you won't see it until you get to it. I will warn you though that the ground is extremely treacherous, very marshy and filled with bogholes. Stay off the mud if you're coming at it from the bay side.

I now the area you are talking about – never knew there was a stream there!

I was just curious because I recognise nearly every other spot from your series, and have taken the same wandering route on occasion, but couldn’t place the stream. I guess that’s what’s great about this sort of site, sharing experience and all that sort of thing.

Thanks again – if I’m walking that way again I’ll keep my eyes peeled.

Its a sunken concrete outlet that's right by the water - if you head up the small private road that leads around the back of Rusheen bay and then look back the way you'll see it. I thought it was a sewer outlet at first, but the water and the outlet were clean and unpolluted, so I'm assuming one of the many streams there were channeled underground.

Fajitas!

Salthill, Water B&W, Ripples and the first one, get the thumbs up from me, not a fan of the others. I think the second one is a tad boring, and the IR's blue background is very distracting, and takes a lot from it.

Salthill has a great skyline in it, which leads right up from the horizon. Pity the buildings ain't a bit more interesting, but very nice none the less.

Ripples is great. Kinda reminds me of turbulant waters, and a waterfall...An a feeling of 'oh ****' from my days of kayaking :P

Ripples has great texture in it as you said, and the first is a great shot. I'd darken the sky more than a tad though, just to make it suitably epic!
