The cotton fields of Kildare

I was down finishing footing my turf this evening and found the bog cotton in full bloom....

2nd one is excellent.

2nd one looks nice, not a fan of the first as it all just seems messy or something

I don't know whether to compliment you on your deadly photos or to chastise you for dredging up some horrific turf-footing memories from my past.

great work on the third picture, specially knowing you took it with such a cheap (and good anyway) lens

Looking at it now I think you're right, though I'm quite pleased with it considering what I had to work with. When I was down there yesterday afternoon, I had no camera and the light was quite harsh but I had figured out how I wanted to shoot it when I came back in the evening, but when I got back there was a new addition to the view,



right where I didn't want it. I had to shoot the other way trying to keep turf footings, parked cars and tractors, and the big pile of rubbish that some w**ker had dumped out of my view......

I don't think that the cotton is there to be shot today though

Ah but its all worth it on those long winter nights when the wind is howling outside and you have your legs up beside a roaring turf fire;)
