This was my second time at Roller Derby, the last time was in 2013. However, this was the first time that I had the rules explained to me, which really helped me to understand the game. This was between London 'A' and Dublin 'A'. I was part of an outing with Offshoot Photographic Society. Roller …
Carrickgollogan
As you can see from the photos below there is a fantastic 360 degree view from the peak of Carrickgollogan, these woods are connected to both the Leadmines and the woods at Barnaslignan Lane. When you walk to the edge of Barnaslignan Wood you can see over the Scalp, which is another great view. Between …

Manor Kilbride Long Exposure
Manor Kilbride is an incredibly photogenic location during the Autumn months. This year, a group of us from Offshoot Photographic Society visited the area. I used some long exposure techniques to blur the water and to catch some movement in the leaves in the trees. On this particular day, the sky was flat grey, so I tried …
