Steam Train

Just thought I’d post this photograph I took of a steam train:

Some pictures of mine

This one needs some work in the darkroom:

What do you think?

Morning Glory

I was asked to put this photo online for club members to see – it is the photo that was awarded a bronze medal at the IPF shield last November. This image was also used in the Daily Mirror calender 2010

All the credit goes to Paul Lalor, as without his work there would have been no entry from the club and so no medal.  He even named the shot so thanks again Paul!

February 2009 competition winner

The winner of the February 2009 photo of the month was me – Con Murphy.  The subject was Macro.  I took this photo one day when the sky was grey and with nothing else to photograph.

It was dark so I shot this at ISO 640,  f5.6 at 1/85th of a second with a 70/300 lens.  The only thing i did in photoshop was to sharpen slightly.

January 2009 competition winner

The winner of the monthly competition for January 2009 was me – Sachin Polassery.  The subject was Winter.  This was the winning photograph.
