This is another example of a photo I took with the Zeiss Nettar II, this was taken shortly after arriving back from my trip London where I bought the camera. Thoroughly happy with the purchase so far.

This was taken from a scale Model of Cork City inside. Cork Vision Centre in North Main Street ( the one with all the cats ). It’s pretty impressive.

Owlet at the Cork Lifetime Lab

Posted on 29 August 2011 by Jan Hayes

The Lifetime lab was open to the public as part of the Cork Heritage day, visiting kids largely gathered around the tethered owls on display, half of them in awe and the other half trying to frighten the poor creatures.

Tastes like chicken

120: London Underground

Posted on 28 August 2011 by Jan Hayes

This was my first photo taken on 120 film, I had just bought an antique camera from the Portobello Market, then made my way to Waterloo to buy some film stock in 120 format and then fitted the stock into the camera as soon as I went inside the nearest Tube station. Barely containing my excitement, I took a photo and then the old habit of looking at the back of the camera to see the result on the LCD Screen kicked in. Doh!

Also thanks to my inexperience, I exposed the film to slither of light resulting in that white mark on the right hand side of the image in case you didn’t notice. Not only that, but I also managed to double expose the picure after forgetting to wind up the next section of film. Double doh!

Port of Cork

Taken from the Clarion Hotel. The industrial buildings in the background feel pretty much incongruous to their environment.

The spot where this photo was taken from, according to Google Maps, is right here. Tempted to swim in it next time I’m there.

Shaky Bridge in Sunday’s Well

Posted on 25 August 2011 by Jan Hayes

Not only Corks only suspension bridge but easily the most sensitive one, you don’t need many people walking on it at the same time to witness the bridge live up to its name.
