Donaghadee

I recently met a friend in Donaghadee for breakfast and while there I took some photographs, as I usually do when I go somewhere.

Sunny Saturday

Another Saturday in Belfast and the sun came out.

These photographs are of a Right to Food Rally at the City Hall on 23rd September. The rally was to mark Right to Food Week and joined campaigners in London and Liverpool.

The event was organised by Foodstock founder, SDLP Councillor, Paul Doherty.

Photography is about the light. Imagine these photographs on an overcast day, without the backlight and shadows. They simply wouldn’t have the same impact.

I often go to Belfast on Saturday. The walking keeps me fit and I get the opportunity to take photographs, mainly for licencing.

These images were taken with a Fuji X100. The original Fuji X 100 – 12 megapixels and a 23mm lens (equivalent to about 35mm full frame). They’re up to the MK V now.

I bought my Fuji in April 2012 – I checked. I knew I’d had it for a while but I didn’t expect it to have been 11 years.

Still going strong and I love using it.

Clouds and Crops

Wind turbine with field of crops in foreground

This photograph was taken not far from Quintin Castle on the Ards Peninsula. The golden field with the wind turbine in the distance attracted my attention.

The wind turbine is not sharp as there is heat haze rising from the field. The strange shaped cloud came from low on the left and disappeared quite quickly.
