Nearly called this “Success From A Stuff Up” I was setting up the camera to bracket 3 shots for a HDR, when I checked the histogram, I couldn’t see any difference, so I shot at 2 stops apart, again, they viewed on the back of the camera all three the same. After a few attempts, Doh! I had bracketed the WB, not exposure. So, bracketed the exposure and fired off again, What was all those shots for I was thinking? Realised I left WB bracketing on, OK, not having a good day. So I just processed these 9 shots for my HDR shot in Photomatix, weren’t too bad to be honest, slight movement on the left of the shot. I duplicated the image and had a play with it in Lightroom using one of the presets (and then some tweaking) Saved and merged the two in photoshop, using Blends modes, and here it is. As they say, alls well that ends well. :-) /
Poulnabrone dolmen is a 5,000 year old portal tomb in the limestone Burren area of County Clare, Ireland. The dolmen consists of a massive flat capstone supported on several upright pillars, and would originally have been covered by a mound of earth. Archeological excavations found several traces of human remains at the burial site, which now stands as a stark reminder of an ancient civilisation. Looking back through the mists of time, who knows what ancient religious rites took place at this barren and windswept scene? Winner of the Heritage in Stone group challenge Stone Circles and Standing Stones.

Another in my series of the Old General Hospital. This is of the interior hallway leading into the bowels of the sinister and dark sanitorium. I didn’ t have a flashlight becasue this was spur of the moment. So I had to use my camera flash to illuminate the long dark hallways that have many rooms and other halls leading from this main corridor. I crept along hugging the wall working my way deeper into the dungeon like structure. My imagination was going wild as I visualized the scenes of countless horror movies and their macabre scenes. I could almost feel the horror of its previous occupants as the darkness enveloped me; yet I dared go a little further just to get that picture of what lay beyond… / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography /

An old abandoned whalers’ hut, slowly deteriorating in the cold.
Sorry just couldn’t think what to call this image.
Sometimes you just can’t script these sort of photos. I’d taken a couple of the empty footpath featuring just the door with the chalk writing. Then, out of nowhere, people with suitcases! Awesome 8) Location: Drury Lane, London.

End of April 2009, Donegal hills, Ireland. There are many examples of this bleak beauty in the Irish landscape. It’s something I am very attracted to, especially in Connemara, and here in Donegal. This image turned out quite brown, which I like, but I wanted to practise dodging and burning, so I used this photo. I’ve tried to be subtle, but will not be offended if you have any criticisms. I’ll just got to my room, close the door, and howl! Only kidding! Canon EOS 450D 18-55mm lens
