This is an interesting development from Fujifilm, you can get close to macro shots with an Instax without the close up mode attachment that is supplied with other cameras in the range. Lomography have done this with their Instax cameras, so the idea is not new, but, this is the first time FujiFilm have made …
Mount Usher Gardens
Enjoying the sights and sounds of Mount Usher Gardens in Ashford is always a wonderful way to spend a day. It was overcast and the river was at the lowest level I have ever seen it, so certain reflection shots were not possible. The lack of any breeze meant that it was a good day …
Burtown House
A few weeks ago a friend and I went to Burtown House, it was our second attempt. Last year we drove in the back entrance and very nearly crashed a Wedding. Whoops! This year, we went when it was actually open to the public! We had a lovely lunch in the fantastic restaurant there and …
Bluebell Woods
A couple of weeks ago, myself and a friend went to Manor Abbey Woods in Kildare to take photos of some Bluebells. Neither of us had been to this woods before, so, it was an interesting trip. I am going to compile a list of Bluebell Woods as it seems quite tricky to find information …

Nearly
My friend and I tried to go to Burtown House and Gardens in Kildare, but, it was closed to the public, as they were hosting a Wedding. We had some fun with Google maps before we got to Burtown, as Google kept trying to get us to drive down a small anonymous laneway, which did …
Wild Flowers
I found a patch of wild flowers in Wicklow that included poppies, I am still looking for a field of poppies, but, this was a nice find. This pictures look like Summer to me. I love this time of year.
Sculpture & Lillies
I was playing with my Lensbaby Lenses again, these are two photos I took recently. I do love the Lensbaby products.
