I have my timing down on these cameras pretty well now but when I started in micro four thirds the "close-open-close" shutter latency used to trip me up.
I took Chris and Sarah -- who are visiting us from the UK -- to a Carolina League (minor league) baseball game in Wilmington and our locals the "Wilmington Blue Rocks" played the "Myrtle Beach Pelicans" (from South Carolina).
The Blue Rocks won -- and we introduced Chris to American Baseball which he had never ever seen before. We had a great time and it was a GREAT night for baseball!

A nice limited edition from a forum in the BeNeLux. Made possible by a group of members that reach out to watchmaker Pellikaan.
They came up with this great watch and actually 86 were made. All in all a very nice watch!
So I may be making a change soon. These uploads are good, and definitely something I'm gonna keep doing but I want to diversify what I'm uploading. I haven't gotten it figured out yet but I think I'll definitely move more content on my own site.
The Lidl Run Kildare Events 2013 were held at the Curragh Racecourse, Newbridge, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Sunday 12th May 2013. There were three events: a 10KM, a half marathon, and a full marathon. This is a selection of photographs which includes all events. The photographs are taken from the start and finish of the marathon, the finish of the 10KM, and the finish of the half marathon. Due to the large numbers participating we did not manage to photograph everyone - which was not helped by the weather. Congratulations to Jo Cawley and her RunKildare crew for another great event. The weather didn't dampen the spirits of the many happy participants.
Electronic timing was provided by Red Tag Timing [www.redtagtiming.com/]
Overall Race Summary
Participants: There were approximately 3,000 participants over the 3 race events - there were runners, joggers, and walkers participating.
Weather: A cold breezy morning with heavy rain at the start. The weather dried up for the 10KM and the Half Marathon races
Course: This is an undulating course with some good flat stretches on the Curragh.

Can I use the photograph with the watermark?
Yes! Absolutely - you can post this photograph to your social networks, blogs, micro-blogging, etc.
How can I get a full resolution, no watermark, copy of these photographs?
All of the photographs here on this Flickr set have a visible watermark embedded in them. All of the photographs posted here on this Flickr set are available, free, at no cost, at full resolution WITHOUT watermark. We take these photographs as a hobby and as a contribution to the running community in Ireland. We do not know of any other photographers who operate such a policy. Our only "cost" is our request that if you are using these images: (1) on social media sites such as Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, Twitter,LinkedIn, Google+, etc or (2) other websites, web multimedia, commercial/promotional material that you provide a link back to our Flickr page to attribute us. This also extends the use of these images for Facebook profile pictures. In these cases please make a separate wall or blog post with a link to our Flickr page. If you do not know how this should be done for Facebook or other social media please email us and we will be happy to help suggest how to link to us.
Please email petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com with the links to the photographs you would like to obtain a full resolution copy of. We also ask race organisers, media, etc to ask for permission before use of our images for flyers, posters, etc. We reserve the right to refuse a request.
In summary please remember - all we ask is for you to link back to our Flickr set or Flickr pages. Taking the photographs and preparing them for online posting does take a significant effort. We are not posting photographs to Flickr for commercial reasons. If you really like what we do please spread the link around, send us an email, leave a comment beside the photographs, send us a Flickr email, etc.
If you would like to contribute something for your photograph(s)?
Some people offer payment for our photographs. We do not charge for these photographs. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that the photograph(s) you request are good enough that you would pay for their purchase from other photographic providers we would suggest that you can provide a donation to any of the great charities in Ireland who do work for Cancer Care or Cancer Research in Ireland.
I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
God's timing is perfect...in the midst of my sorrow at losing my dad, there is solace in looking forward to a new life. My nephew and his sweet wife are expecting a baby girl in a few weeks and there is a baby shower this weekend. The nursery is decorated with ladybugs and pink gingham so I used that as my theme for the card.

The Auto Avio Costruzioni 815 was the first car to be fully designed and built by Enzo Ferrari. Legal issues with former associates Alfa Romeo prevented Ferrari from creating the Ferrari marque. The 815 raced at the 1940 Brescia Grand Prix, where both entries failed to finish due to engine problems. One of the cars was later scrapped, while the other is currently in a car collection in Italy.
The 815 was designed and developed by ex-Alfa Romeo engineers Alberto Massimino and Vittorio Bellentani and by Enrico Nardi. The designation "815" was based on the car's eight-cylinder, 1.5 L engine. This engine was largely based on the four-cylinder, 1.1 L engine of the Fiat 508 C Balilla 1100. In concept, it was two 508C engines placed end to end, but it used a specially designed aluminium block built by Fonderia Calzoni in Bologna for integrity and light weight and a five-bearing crankshaft and a camshaft designed and built by AAC to get the traditional straight-8 timing and balance. The engine used Fiat valve gear, cylinder heads (two 508C heads per engine), and connecting rods. The engine was high-tech for the time, with a single camshaft in block, two valves per cylinder, and a semi-dry sump lubrication system. Four Weber 30DR2 carburettors were specified for a total output of 75 hp (56 kW) at 5500 rpm.
The 815 used a Fiat four-speed transmission with the Fiat gears replaced by gears made in-house by AAC. The transmission was integral to the engine block. The car had independent Dubonnet suspension with integral shock absorber at front, with a live axle on semi-elliptic leaf springs and hydraulic shock absorbers at the rear.
As Mille Miglia regulations required that racing car chassis be based on production models, the AAC 815's chassis was also derived from the Fiat 508 C Balilla.
The bodywork was done by Carrozzeria Touring using Itallumag 35, an aluminium/magnesium alloy, and was done in long, flowing forms with integrated wings. The bodywork weighed 119 lb (54 kg). The complete car weighed 625 kg (1,378 lb) and attained a maximum speed close to 170 km/h (110 mph).
So I had an eventful long weekend doll hunting. The timing was the absolute worst because the weather was horridly wet and there were people everywhere due to long weekend sales. I also had a bunch of chores to do at home.
But my husband saw the white haired Amaya Raine hair studio set at a local store, so I had no choice but to venture out.
Overall, the entire hunt took about 6 hours spread out over two rainy crowded days. Most of it was spent picking through all the defective looking dolls. Not sure why, but the defect rate for the blue haired Amaya was through the roof! It was insane really. Nearly every single doll had absurd black stains over her nose or body. It's as if the staff at the factory that produced her were all drunk, or just taking the piss. Which is a real pity because this Amaya has the new neck articulation allowing head tilts. Not sure how (probably by lowering my bar ^^"), but I still managed to pick out three decent ones for my collection. I can't wait to test out her new neck articulation!!
Next up was Bella Parker. I managed to pick up two of her. I must have checked at least fifty Bellas and they ALL had misprinted eyeshadows, though this may not be immediately obvious due to the subtlety of her makeup. In theory, Bella should've been my ultimate favourite doll since she's pastel pink - but she's not. Her soft makeup makes her eyes look super beady. I also don't like her clothes, they're a bit too 90s preppy for me. And her California Dream shirt is so tacky and clashy with the rest of her glam outfit. It doesn't help that she's rather unlikeable on the show. So yes, unfortunately Bella's not amongst my favourites.
Now for my favourite doll of this haul, white haired Amaya Raine! I've wanted this doll since the start of Rainbow High in late 2020. Im not sure why they took so long to get her in. I'm besotted with her soft pearly porcelain aesthetics, and her ethereal pastel colours. What a stunning doll! Amaya also gets extra brownie points for being so sweet and likeable on the show (so far anyway!). I managed to pick out three good ones, one had perfect makeup but a slight scratch on one of her legs so I might need to rebody her. I'll probably need to get a fourth Amaya for this, but I'll wait until there's a sale going on (she's $99 here in NZ ouch!). There's also the ingenious option of rebodying using the blue haired Amaya's body, which has the new neck articulation and is close to half her price. Though the biggest hurdle is finding a decent one without random black stains!! (Actually, on further inspection, the white haired Amaya dolls in NZ may also have the new neck articulation too! I'll need to check once I debox mine, it would be totally amazing if she does! *Update (12/6/21) - I deboxed one of my white haired Amayas and she does come with the new neck articulation! YAAAAAY!!!! That's so awesome!)
I was also lucky enough to pick up a second Cheer Skyler, a third Cheer Sunny and a third Cheer Violet. I needed a third of both Sunny and Violet because some of the ones I have at home have minor issues eg poorly sewn socks or slightly thinner hair on one side etc that I wouldn't mind replacing.
Now that's all for Rainbow High. Next up are some dolls from Mattel!
So I came across some #2 Barbie Extras during my doll hunt, and two of them looked soooo good I had to pick them up. I already had two at home (that I've showcased on flickr) but these new ones had much better face up with evenly aligned eyes, and cleanly thick rooted hair, so I ended up returning my original two. Sorry but I don't need four of you!
I also stumbled across the new Hello Kitty and Friends dolls! They were released a few months ago in the US and as you might know, I'm a massive Sanrio fan, my favourites being My Melody and Cinnamoroll. So of course, I couldn't resist picking up a couple of these adorable little dolls. I bought two My Melody and Stylie, two Cinnamoroll and Cloudine and one Hello Kitty and Eclair. Unfortunately, none of the stores stocked Badtz-Maru and Jazzlyn, I'm thinking NZ never imported her at all? Which is odd, because Jazzlyn is super spunky and chic.
Overall, there were no major issues with quality control, unlike with Rainbow High. There were variations in eye placements especially with Eclair so I would still prefer to pick them out in person. I also bought a Keroppi and Dashleen, and another Hello Kitty and Eclair for my sister and her husband (alluding to their Twitch channels since one is neko themed and the other frog themed lmao! I hope they get it because neither of them collect dolls!!!)
All in all, it was an extremely exhausting but successful doll hunt. I'm delighted with all the new dolls in my collection, and I desperately need to start putting away my Monster Highs so I can make space for all the newcomers!
Now that would be the perfect quiet and relaxing activity I could do on these rainy crowded days!
Whitby was once the 6th largest port in Britain and during the period 1753 to 1833 it was the capital of the whaling industry. There have been recorded settlements here since the Saxon period but the erection of the Abbey in 657 AD marked the birth of the town. The most significant event in the church’s history was held at the Abbey in 664 AD, The Synod of Whitby.
Now back in those days Whitby was a pretty important place, though it wasn’t named Whitby until the Vikings arrived in 867 AD destroying the monastery and renaming the settlement Whitby from the old Norse for White Settlement. No, back in 664 it was known as Streaneshalch, and was a place of great prestige being the burial place of kings of Northumbria, then the mightiest of the kingdoms in Anglo-Saxon England. The problem was that Northumbrians had been Christianised from the 620s onwards by two different groups of missionaries: those from Rome, who were first on the scene, and those of the Irish or Celtic tradition, from the island of Iona, who had made Lindisfarne their chief mission centre in the 630s, and the two traditions had different Christian practices, including the way priests cut their hair, and, most important of all, the way they calculated the date of Easter – a moveable feast, as it has to be a Sunday. Its precise timing is determined by the cycle of the moon, and the two contrary methods sometimes resulted in dates up to four weeks apart.
So in 664 Oswiu, the King of Northumbria, summoned eminent clerics from the rival movements to Whitby in an attempt to resolve the conflict, the outcome being that the Celtic church adopted the Roman calendar for the calculation of Easter and the monastic tonsure or shaving of the head.
The decision in favour of Rome sent out a clear message that the tide was turning against Celtic practices. York immediately supplanted Lindisfarne as the Episcopal centre of Northumbria, and some who did not want to adapt to Roman ways withdrew to Iona.
By standardising the practices of the Northumbrian Church according to the Roman tradition, the synod was a landmark – not just in the history of the Church in England, but also of the Church in Western Europe in the Middle Ages.

No, it's not glued on. The "ghost" image of the broken match comes from the air flash unit triggering a second time before the exposure completed.
Timing for stacking with leds. Leds are delayed to in order to avoid vibrations that makes blurry pictures. Led on time is now 12 ms ISO 200 with the 10X lens.
Is it possible to perfect perfection?
To create an impression so genuine and pure that all the work it takes to ensure needs are addressed, that timing is orchestrated floats away from the diner's attention, where all parties at a table equally feel that the evening was tailored just for them, despite the fact that every single guest in the room shares the exact same sentiment.
Many have aspired. Few have achieved. Less than a year old Grace is on a fastrack to accomplishing that.
But with all my focus on the service aspect - it's charm, it's wit, it's non-onerous disposition - I'd be amiss to omit mention of the food because that is the main draw that brings a fickle dining public out and spend their hard earned monies in a time when casual dining and a dress down approach runs rampant as children hopped up on sugar post-Halloween.
Although chef Duffy was out of office at a cooking evening in another state during our visit (unfortunate in a sense due to our missed interaction), I had great faith that the evening would be just as splendid with his incredibly talented team. To achieve and succeed at this level, it's not just having a captain that's stellar, but also a top crew to man (and woman) every aspect of this tight ship. At no point in time would I have felt that chef wasn't in the space, ensuring that every plate was to his spec. That, I find, is hard to achieve these days in much of North America and I applaud the team on this.
The food itself was a feast for the senses. The opening number, both interactive and refreshing, set the stage, like Alice in the rabbit hole when she takes a sip of the "drink me" potion and commits herself to a world of adventures. The elegance, daintiness and meticulousness of each assembled course complimenting the interplay of flavours, textures and temperatures (a component in "cooking" that is starting to appear more often, although sometimes with mixed results. Hint: tempering is good - like that found at Grace; straight jarring contrast is bad, like that found coming out of less experienced kitchens). The diner isn't just transported to Grace's culinary world, but also to one of new appreciations in unique herbs and flavours (perhaps, my own feeling) where it's a delight that's not only physical, but also cerebral. Courses like the Heirloom Tomato draw on classics, reinterpreted for the modern era which not only comfort but also inspire; traditionally flashy star players (caviar, truffles, wagyu beef) play a supportive role to humble melon, creme caramel and watermelon. The shock, almost as mind boggling as meeting that stunner only to find out that he was once the class geek (you know, in movies).
Every step of the journey has whimsy; every bite encouraging further exploration. The plates, although artfully presented and beautiful, also invited consumption; they were neither too precious to dig into nor required an encyclopedia of know how to tackle. It felt natural without intimidation (which I'm aware can be a concern for some diners), approachable, and where instructions were required (i.e. order of amuses to be consumed), helpful.
While not all dishes resonated with me, I profoundly enjoyed my dinner. I didn't feel the time pass. If anything, I would have been happy, with the amazing CT, whiling away more hours (we were, from start to extended finish, at the care of the Grace team for nearly 6 hours).
Fine dining and attentive care is not dead; it's alive and well with a fresh youthful exuberance and formal, white glove approach without the stodginess. It can go hand in hand with excellent food, and it's to the team behind it that I say a heartfelt thank you for working against the tide to bring refinement and elegance to the dining experience.
You are on your way to recognition beyond 3 stars. I believe it.

This was shot in the lightGIANTS studio as I was showing how to build a "Pseudo Ring Flash". Unfortunately I couldn't edit the sylighs lighting diagram exactly how I wanted. the bottoms of the strip lights should be touching to form a large triangle that you shoot through like a very large ring flash :) ... Every one ended up calling it "Flower lighting" as it kind of left a flower shaped catch light in the eyes.
The timing of this train is now appalling for photography. Running out in the afternoon and returning in the late evening. Seen here at Bottesford West Junction it is virtually coming out of the sun.
On this occasion 47749 was not behaving. Having slowed for the 30 mph speed limit over Radcliffe Viaduct just east of Nottingham, the loco was unable to pick up power and thus limped along at 30 mph all the way to me and beyond to Allington Junction. At Allington the train was able to stop on the West to North chord which is little used. Here the driver had a look around and managed to get the consist on the way and in the end the train arrived at Boston one minute early.
Despite that, the powers that be were nervous and elected not to risk the loco returning with the loaded train, consequently 47749 returned light engine to Washwood Heath in it's normal return path.
47749 plus 10 empty IHA's in tow at 17.50 on Friday 7th June 2013, Bottesford West Junction, 6E07 1452 Washwood Heath Met. Cam - Boston Docks
The "Lock Up The Year" Royal Canal Trail Marathon was held on the banks of the Royal Canal from Moyvalley, Co. Kildare to Leixlip, Co. Kildare on Tuesday 31st December 2012 at 09:00. The race started at Furey's Pub at Moyvalley (goo.gl/maps/3pqhF) and proceeded westwards to Blackshade bridge (goo.gl/maps/4yVNI) where the race turned around and then the route was direct back to Leixlip. The running route followed the Royal Canal Way from start to finish. There was also the option of a 1/2 marathon (from Cloncurry Bridge near Enfield) and a 10KM distance from The Maws at Kilcock. This event is made possible through the cooperation of East Of Ireland Marathons and Jarlath B. Hynes and Brendan Murphy from Leixlip, Co. Kildare (see a Facebook group page here www.facebook.com/groups/524790427539290/?fref=ts). The key aspect of this run is that they are three races are informal and self supported runs along on the Royal Canal Way trail. There is no chip timing, water stops, marshals, massages, t-shirts or prizes. But it ise an enjoyable run along the Royal Canal and a chance to meet up with fellow runners during the race and then after it at the Le Cheile clubhouse in Leixlip. There are some nice numbers for the race today. 26.2 miles, 2 counties, 5 traversals in and out of Meath and Kildare, crossing 6 roads, and passing under 5 bridges before the finish outside the Leixlip amenities center.
Due to recent heavy rains the canal towpath (particularly between Cloncurry and Kilcock) was very wet and muddy and proved difficult and testing terrain for all of the runners. However despite a strong breeze at a few sections the weather was bright and dry and made for good running conditions.
This photograph is part of a larger set of photographs taken of the event(s) today. They are all available for viewing in this Flickr set. www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157639233559965
The Royal Canal is a very special piece of Irish Heritage. It's waterway channel and it's banks have seen much history with both the rise and subsequent decline in railway and canal travel and transportation. Our run on the Royal Canal is made possible by the incredible hard and dilligent work by the Inland Waterways of Ireland and countless volunteer individuals who turned their vision of a restored Royal Canal into reality.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!

This is a photograph from the Longwood GAA 10KM and 5KM Road Races and Fun Runs 2014 which were held in Longwood Village, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 19th October 2014 at 11:00. This is the fifth year which Longwood GAA have hosted race events. This year's event was an outstanding success with the number of participants doubling over last year's final numbers. There were almost 400 participants in both events with 224 in the 10KM and 166 in the 5KM. In the first three previous years the club had organised a 5KM road race. The events were organised as fundraisers for both the adult and juvenille teams at Longwood GAA club. The event also provided a fundraising opportunity for the local St. Vincent de Paul charity. Overall the whole day was a great success with the hard work put in by the organising committee ensuring that participants enjoyed their race experience. Both routes were accurately measured, kilometer points clearly marked, junctions well stewarded, and electronic timing provided. The event provided many local runners, joggers, fun runners and walkers with a local event to support whilst at the same time providing runners preparing for events such as the Dublin marathon with an opportunity to race a short, fast, distance in the lead up to marathon day. The GAA club provided excellent stewarding and traffic management all around the course. The race had a professional feel to it and it is sure to grow next year given the very positive feedback from many of the participants today.
This is a photograph which is part of a larger set of photographs taken at the event. There were photographs taken at the start of the races and the finishes of both races in Longwood GAA. The full set is available at this link www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157648845224981/
Longwood is a small village in South East Co. Meath and is close to the town of Enfield with access to the M4 Motorway.
Timing and event management was provided by Precision Timing. Results are available on their website at www.precisiontiming.net/result.aspx?v=2100 with additional material available on their Facebook page (www.facebook.com/davidprecisiontiming?fref=ts) See their promotional video on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-7_TUVwJ6Q
Overall Race Summary
Participants: There were about 400 participants over the two events.
Weather: The weather was very breezy but dry. The temperatures around 10C.
5KM Course: The 5KM started in Longwood village. Runners then took a left turn in the Village down St. Oliver's Road. This straight section of road brings runners to a left turn onto a very well maintained boreen road for less than one kilometer. The race then emerges and joins with the 10KM at Stoneyford where the runners take a left and then another left before arriving back at the finish line in Longwood GAA club. Overall this is a very fast and flat 5KM with no hills to speak of.
10KM Course: The 10KM event begins in Longwood Village outside Stoney's Pub (goo.gl/maps/Of4fW) and proceeds westward out of the village. There are some interesting points along this part of the course. At the 2KM point the runners will run under the double bridges - an aquaduct for the Royal Canal and a bridge carrying the Dublin Sligo Railway line. The race then enters county Kildare just before the 3km and after taking a right turn at the four-cross roads known locally as Lally's Cross it returns to County Meath on top of the River Boyne Bridge (Ashfield Bridge) which forms the county boundary. The race follows a straight road for the next 2KM until runners encounter Blackshade bridge which is the toughest climb on the route. As a point of interest Blackshade bridge brings runners back over the Royal Canal and the Railway line. The race then crosses the River Boyne again at Stoneyford before taking a right which will bring runners on a testing two kilometer stretch with some short hills. The 10KM course then joins with the 5Km course for the final 1.5KM back to Longwood GAA club for the finish.
