A view up the towards St. Mary's House from the bottom of 'the Graff' on the St. Patrick's College Campus (AKA NUI Maynooth South Campus) in Maynooth, Ireland. The spire in the background is that of the College Chapel (the Gunne Chapel).
This shot was taken on a Typical Shutter Bug photo walk, the first one in Ireland. (I use the word 'walk' loosely since we did some driving between locations)
This shot was generated by lightly tonemapping a single RAW file using Photomatix Pro.

A well laden barge makes it's way down-stream along the river Nete in Duffel, Belgium, in the late evening. The pathway in the shot is the old towpath which is now a dedicated cycle/walking path. Despite Duffel being about 100km from the sea, the river is still tidal here. This shot was taken at the height of the tide. The boat is named 'Despatch'.
This shot was generated by tonemapping a single RAW file and then cropping and dodging & burning the resulting pseudo-HDR image in Aperture.
This shot featured on my blog as Photo of the Week 65 & 66 - Transportation in Duffel, Belgium.
