A reall nice collection of images. Especially like the first one, its a classic landscape. Have seen very little digital infrared over the past few years. Its not in fashion at the moment, i guess. Thanks for sharing, really enjoyed them. Here is an old one of mine i recently reprinted. http://eddiemallin.my-expressions.com/archives/6319_1789401042/213399

Thanks Martin, the toy camera images are Holga. There is a good thread in the Film photography section with lots of toy camera images if you have a few minutes to spare.

Looks as if Slane is a good spot for photography, what would you recommend evening or morning light.

Yes Slane is a great location for photography and also anywhere along the river Boyne between Drogheda and Navan. There are old tow paths on the southern side of the river from about 150 years ago and most of them are in fairly good condition and give lots of opportunities for photography. As for Slane, which is the best morning or evening light, I would say in the winter months it?s in the morning and during the summer months I would say the evening. It?s hard to get good morning and evening light as the river runs at Slane from a NWW to a SEE direction and also the river is down in a valley. For me I like to photograph in the area during the middle of the day (which I know can mean harsh light) but the reason being is that in the middle of the day the sun is at its highest which means that as the river is in a valley with big trees either side, more of the river is lit up and not in shadow. For photographing the bridge and weir summer evening light is the best. Hope this makes sense and answers your question.
