This shot was taken during high winds at the Lagan Weir Bridge in Belfast. A long exposure was required with the camera on a tripod. Although the wind made it difficult to get a steady shot without camera shake. Just before daylight started to break and a good time to avoid people in the shot. ISO 100 to try to get as little noise as possible.

This lady does not look impressed with having her picture taken. F4.5 and a focus on the eyes. Always difficult when sheds are quite dark and animals are fast moving. Handheld is all you can manage in this situation. A wonderful modern Holstein cow. A transponder around her neck transmits alot of data to the farmer - a bit like a fit bit. Any signs of illness can be acted upon quickly to ensure optimal animal welfare.

Barry Island Beach Huts. A bit of a cliche shot but you couldn't just walk past them without taking a photo. F6.3 handheld to give 1/60 and a dullish afternoon. Wonderful colours - pity we don't have any of these in Northern Ireland.

An inversion layer on a cold autumnal afternoon in November near Markethill. The sun has just gone down leaving some nice colour in the Belt of Venus. Taken handheld at f4.0 as the fog was moving around a bit and the scene was ever changing. St John's Parish Church Mullabrack is clearly visible poking out of the fog in this shot.
