Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Be careful with Ireland.

Took me some strong persuasion to leave it behind...

In fact, I left it behind seven times, even looking at these pics makes the heart go a-wandering :|

(nae miss IZ and nae wean in the pipeline and I'd be living there as we speak...)

Oh, IZ, I understand full well how that goes...I'll be revisiting Ilkley Moor and several other places in ol' Blighty many times in future, for the very same reason...

That third one is an unreleased Led Zep cover if ever I saw one!
Ireland is amazing - every view is a photo begging to be taken.

I took a roll of 16 yesterday (yay, back to film again!) and I forced myself to take my first two street portraits ever. It's really scary to try and snap them (especially with no zoom!) as you never know how people will take it. Ask them, though, and they'll pose so you can't win. Really nervous how they'll come out but will have to wait until Tuesday to pick them up from the lab. Eek.

The ones you see here (the Ireland ones, not the Wales ones) are all taken with an analogue Canon.

So that third picture is really a lucky shot, tho I saw what it COULD become. Still, always a bit of a thriller when you got the film developed and it turns out as nice as it is now... It has quite some depth, no? ;)

Very pleased with that shot I hafta say..

@ carpy try shooting people from the hip or focusing and then not looking through the viewfinder draws less attention people think your just fuckin about and are more off guard.

Everywhere ;D

But with this photoshoot, it was mainly the SW.

You can see Dingle Bay in the fourth picture, needs visiting, really!

Second one is the famous Ladies' View on the Ring of Kerry, near Kenmare/Killarney.
