Haha everyone that saw this picture when i came back from vacation all said pretty much the same thing. Bad composition on my part to have that sign so noticeable.
Got a tip for us?

Thanks for the nice comment ! I'm a new photographer, got the t2i a month ago..Here's a 1080p version without the lightly added vignette - gotta look into how to add that effect tastefully. Cropped the chimney away to match that ratio, which perhaps makes the church tower a bit too in your face. But gives a more balanced look IMO. I personally like the little grill on the roof
Aideen's Grave
Briefly resurrecting my project to find every megalithic monument in Dublin:
![]()
This ancient structure lies in the grounds of the Deerpark Hotel and Golf Course in Howth, County Dublin. Local legend has it that it is the grave of Aideen, daughter of Aengus of Ben Edar (Howth) who died of grief when her husband, Oscar, was killed in battle in 284AD.
It is comemorated in an eponymous poem by Sir Samuel Ferguson which begins:
"They heaved the stone; they heaped the cairn.
Said Ossian, 'In a queenly grave
We leave her, 'mong her fields of fern,
Between the cliff and wave."
In fact the tomb is much older, dating back to the Bronze Age c. 2,500 BC. It is a portal tomb, made from the local quartzite rock, with a huge 35 ton capstone (now collapsed) and 2m tall portal stones.

^^ I'm honestly interested in the meaning of the two lower symbols on the sigh. Do you (or anyone) know?
Mine for today. The perch of the Red Wing Blackbird I posted a few days ago. In shooting with my Super Zoom, I really miss the quality of my 28-75 2.8 Tamron. I won't mention my 100mm macro 2.8. It's embarrassing.

Bigland Tarn...
Really nice, great lighting and just such a peaceful location!
Colours are so great! Nice comp. too!
I like the black and white and intentional grain. What did you add it with?
I absolutely love this shot! It has a really eerie feel to it! The lighting really strikes me, all in all a great shot I think!

Morning on the green boat

Thanks a lot, Dale. I've been reading and poking around the PotD threads for some months and never really got around to putting up a picture. I've been looking at finally pulling the trigger for a DSLR (a T2i is #1 on the list right now) but probably will wait until Nov. because of a possible successor to the D90. Thankfully, I have no investment in either Canon or Nikon, so I have that luxury...
Lemme find something else to put up here.

I love this shot!
Here's mine for today.
Amazing month! The problem with joining in so late is there are far too many excellent shots to comment on.
Just stunning Maxxamillian.
Beautiful Doylem, it looks like a very calming place to be.
It was well worth it imo The low angle of the light and direction in the clouds really make this shot stand out.
All the structural elements fall together perfectly.

I had to wake up very early to get this shot, but once I set up the tripod, I forgot all about how sleepy I was.

It was very cold and wintery here this evening, but there were still some (very) keen surfers out. If you look hard maybe you can see them...

Grain was intended.
I'd also love to know how you got that grain.
This is great - a real story photo.
Here's mine for today. I was sent out to do some shopping ... snapped this with an iPhone 4 to mms to my wife to get her opinion on if they were ripe enough to buy (yes, but not the green ones). Liked the colours and shapes so cropped it and boosted the colour a bit.

Right back at you--word for word. This is my personal fave on the month thus far...
