White Box and Coloured Ice Cubes

Spent the evening attempting to build my own white box and it wasn't a bad first effort. I think I need to reduce the height slightly as I wasn't getting enough bounce from the lamps I was using I think so a quick edit with the scissors tonight should sort that out. Here's the pix I took while using it, it almost looks like there is a face in the glass at one point...see if you can spot it!

Lough Shore Antrim

Been busy this week with a few other things but have been snapping away and attended the Antrim Camera Club tonight for the first time and discovered it has been running for 21 years, hopefully I'll learn a lot from those with plenty of years of experience. If it hadn't been for the wonderful display in the Antrim Library I would have knew nothing about it. The kids were back to school today as well so I got a few snaps before they headed off to their day of study!

Ten Miles from Antrim...Eighty Bands Later

We had toyed with going to the Botanic Gardens in Belfast today but instead opted to take the kids to the Black Saturday band parade in Ballymena. It was a great turnout but the weather was hit and miss and as soon as it started raining I didn't know whether to put the camera away or hide it under my coat. Some of the shots weren't great as I was trying to see if it was better to shoot with shutter or aperture control. I started out with the 18-55m lens and then switched to the 70-300mm lens, the latter was a better option. I could have ideally done with a better position for taking the snaps but I ended up meeting a few old faces from about ten years ago and got chatting into the bargain. Click Me!
