:o cracking pics there davy. really like the B/W shots man 8) 8) if i remember rightly there is a fella with a flikr account who has taken some really great shots up round the coast in the ballycastle area. he had some great shots of the wee bridge to pans rock you might like a look at. loads of outstanding areas up that way for photography man. you seem to know your stuff as some of your pics look like something you'd pay a good few quid for in a nice frame man :P . it would be a great side line to subsidise the oul mullet fishing :D just think of all the new carbon you could buy :P
