Kitsnaps: Sligo Sunrise

I was up very, very early recently to go across the country for a PT session (that’s a totally normal thing to do), and there was a lovely sunrise going on a bit after I got on the train. My phone, which turns to greyscale at 10pm and stays that way until 7am to remind me to sleep, was still IN greyscale when I snapped this shot through the speeding train window, so I really had no idea if it had turned out nicely or not for another, like, 90…

Kitsnaps: Oxford

I had a brief visit to Oxford last month and although I didn’t have a decent camera with me, got a handful of pictures that I was very happy with, with my phone.

This was the…

Convention Centre Dublin View[/caption] I’m not absolutely sure this should qualify as a Kitsnap, but what the heck. I was in Dublin’s new convention centre a while back, and this panorama is one I took from an upper floor, overlooking the docklands.

Because what you want is more pictures.

It’s still snowing. In fact, it snowed enough to stick a bit, so this morning I bundled us up and we went down to Glasnevin Cemetery to take pictures, ’cause I thought snow might be as good, maybe even better, than fog. Well, it’s not, or at least not in these slight quantities, but I think Glasnevin’s real problem is that it’s too well-cared for to be really prime graveyard-photography territory. I prefer the going-to-seed look of a less-cared-for graveyard, for Moody Pictures. :) Anyway, I got a handful of…
