I was too late for the blue sky and did not want to drive there (I love my car!;))
But at least a first impression of Dublin mountains...

I think I saw you crossing the bridge with your tripod.

wasnt me, didnt have a tripod with me, in fact I was drunk at the time I took those photos LOL
Lost my lens hood in the snow too, but found it the next morning, oh and i got so much snow on the lens
Poor camera. I was the guy with snowball in hand camera in the other chasing people! Later on in the night we made a snowman over 6ft tall. Have a photo but Im afraid at that stage the simple photography skills I had, (i.e point and shoot), were long gone

:pac:
Good Times

oh oh on another note - anyone know any good vantage points to get a sweeping view of the dublin mountains without the need of a telephoto lens. I want to try a panorama tomorrow.

Guys 'n Gals , I think this needs to be added with the weekend looming.

There is HUGE amounts of snow on the mountains. Please please please, don't become another emergency and take your pictures in appropriate clothing.

Drifts in the mountains are bloody dangerous.

If you are gonna hit the mountains to take some pics please make sure you are equipped for the worst.

/here ends the public service announcement.

Don't forget to bring a flashk of hot tae and some cookies with you.

The lens is a Sigma 70-300mm - their cheapy model! Its a bit worn at this stage and grinds a bit on autofocus but I love the bokeh it gives - tis not very contrasty though and generally i end up adding lots in PP.

Distance was about 15ft. I was indoor and he/she was searching for a bit of food landed on the window sil and walked along.

The one above is shot through a patio glass door - if you look closely you'll see a lot of smudge's and snow/frosting on the glass pane but it turned out not too bad i'd guess. I must clone out those smudges

Above shot at 300mm which reports back as 450mm in a 35mm equivalent.

^I bout that lens 2nd hand a couple of weeks ago. Its dead cheap for a lens of that telephoto power and yes its auto-focus is slow and it lacks image stabilisation but its a great lens for the price! It does lack contrast and sharpness but that can easily be fixed with some pp.
And for the auto focus issues, i first focus it manually and then switch to AF for the camera to make it sharper. Its macro function is quite good too!

The last of the snow?

Mount Leinster



This was shot from the ring road in Kilkenny where its actually quite mild and dry, and this too was shot with the super cheap and cheerful Sigma 70-300. I tried using my fancy Nikkor 80-200 f/2.8 first but I was just too far away.

Went for a cycle yesterday with others from the cycling forum.

Out from Dundrum, to Enniskerry, Djouce, Balinastoe, then around and towards Luggala.

Just some field on the way



Nice snow shapes

the snow in some of the photographs appears very grey, i know this is mainly down to exposure issues and white balance.
I remember reading a tip many years ago for shooting scenes where there was snow covering objects within the reach of your flash - that the flash can be used to get some effects from the reflection from the crystal structure in the snow. Unfortunately or fortunately I cant seem to get near any snow to test that particular tip out!
