JD's 365.

Day 046



Had a good wee day dandering round abandoned buildings with my mate Pete and a couple of others. We took a drive up the coast road towards Carnlough. This was taken at the Drumnagreagh hotel. The road you see is the coast road. The hotel now is completely wrecked. Has been vandalised beyond recognition. We used to go there for Sunday lunch regularly. I always remembered the view was nice.
 
Day 047

Tonight Matthew I'm Going To Be.....

Health And Safety Man!!!



I had to wear all of this today on a site, and I thought to myself, "I'm sure I look completely daft!!" And, YES I DO!!!

It was actually quite nice to be back to a site job for a change, the craic was ninety!! I'll be back on the job tomorrow. It's impossible to see hear or breathe with all this lot on. Health and Safety?? I think it's more dangerous than wearing none of it...
 
nice kitchen and yes you dont look very well placed there
 
Day 048

Extremely busy today, which was good. We were 2 engineers down, Michael's wife is having her baby today, so he was away being the dutiful husband. John is off on holiday for the rest of the week, so their workload passed onto the remaining engineers. I didn't stop all day, even had lunch while driving!!

This is probably my first attempt at this type of processing, does it work??

Don't know how I missed this so far?
Looking really good all of it mate. You're proving that a D40 is all you need and it's the tog that matters :thumbs:
 
I love the HDR in shot 7, it's fantastic.

I do standby call with work a week at a time, we start on Monday at 5pm and do until 9am the next morning. This continues all week. On weekends we are on all day Saturday and Sunday. At this stage of the week I get a bit fed up, my life seems to revolve around this wee phone every 3rd week and I hate it!!
 
I know the feeling matey, i'm the same at work for Intercom / CCTV etc and covered all over the Xmas period.

Nice shot by the way :thumbs:

Sounds like we have the same job!! I do mainly fire alarms, but work a bit at access, cctv, intruder.

Sounds like it :)

Cover loads of stuff where i work (Signal distribution, AV over CAT5, Intercom, CCTV, Access etc, but tend to steer clear of intruder as too many cowboy firms get involved and make a hash of the install!) and we cover mainly the big stuff (Hospitals / MEN arena etc).

Really lacked inspiration today, was soo busy with work it was unreal. I didn't have a chance to even look at my camera until I came home. So this was the uninspired shot I decided on. Will try harder for tomorrow, I had an idea of trying to take a picture of the moon but there isn't one!!!
 
Day 051

Another fantastically busy day, John was off again, Michael's wife had a wee baby boy this morning, so he was off too. My day in order of location. Coleraine, Portrush, Limavady, Ballymena, Downpatrick, Lisnaskea, Omagh then home. I actually really enjoyed jumping about the living room in the dark doing this one...

Have been asked out of the blue to DJ a friends birthday party. I'm quite worried, it's next Saturday night. I used to DJ heavily "back in the day" not quite professionally but not terrible either. I've had these turntables 10 years and it just goes to show what a difference quality makes, even now these are the industry standard. It makes me no better though!!!
 
I don't know much about audio equipment...but I even I know they're the bee's knees! Good luck :thumbs:
 
Day 51 is great, looks like something from Most Haunted (or whatever that show is)
 
Day 053



Another nice wee day exploring. This is an abandoned church in Belfast somewhere. This one was completely wrecked and looked like it had been used as a skateboard location, as well as a drug, drink and set fire to the place meeting place.

I'm not completely happy with this picture, I just can't put my finger on it. At least I got an outside picture!!! With sunshine!!!!

Nice photo today, is that a ultra wide angle lens you used? Sounds like that church could offer up other photo opportunities for your 365?!?!
 
Nice Church, could possibly do with a bit of 'fill' on the building, other than that its a good shot :thumbs:
