The Grave of Thomas Darcy, Kells priory, Co.Kilkenny
Thomas Darcy's, Gravestone, Kells Priory, Co Kilkenny : Nigel Borrington
Reads:
“Erected by, Mary Morrissey in memory of her Father THOMAS DARCY, who died March 29th 1889 aged 58 – also her brother JAMES who died MARCH 29th 1912 aged 36 years and her beloved Mother who died Feb 23rd 1913 aged 76 years and her sister who died young.”
All of them lie almost forgotten, even their headstone has fallen. Maybe one day someone will return to place it upright again.

Over exposure
Brandon Hill Kilkenny, highkey Image : Nigel Borrington
Brandon Hill Kilkenny is some 515m in hight and offers great views of north east Kilkenny.
This image just like the last one from Brandon hill, was taken in order to experiment with creating an image with as much detail removed as possible. This time however I am using over exposure in order to create a high key image. High key is the introduction of as much bright light into the images as possible thus removing unwanted details.
In pure terms this is overexposure, but used with an effect in mind, In this image its to remove any of the landscape detail behind the trees from about halfway up the image. This helps to make the trees the main feature in this photograph.
I am happy to a point with this image and the effect is interesting, I am going to keep working on compositions that better match. I think if the trees could be placed alone the horizon next time it would be an improvement.
Wet wedding days
A wet day in Callan : Nigel Borrington
No weddings this weekend, but I noticed one couple did get married in the town. Oh god what a weekend for it, the worst rain we have had for months.
I cannot say that I have ever had to do a wedding in rain like that, lots of snow over the last two winters but wind and rain like that no thank god. As a photographer you cannot expect to do every wedding going nor should you aim to, I cannot help but feel a little relieved that I didn’t get this one!

Friday 21st of October, The Weather forecast for the weekend was not good so I took the afternoon off and walked to the top of Brandon Hill, Co.Kilkenny.
On the way up it occurred to me just how little detail an image needs, yet it can still be of great interest to the viewer. I am going to keep exploring this but I think its to do with contrast and the simple layers that make-up the picture.

Bridge Street, Callan, Kilkenny
To me Bridge St, Callan, Kilkenny – as it moves its way across the kings river, is one of the most amazing streets in Kilkenny, So much could be done with this small street, yet it has Remained the same for so long.
Over the Years some people have had a go at bringing the street up-to date, However most have failed leaving their remains behind, i.e. At Least one Ghost Estate and Empty Businesses. However the reason I like Bridge St so much is that again and again It has resisted and returned to its original condition.

Castlecomer discovery park – Co Kilkenny
castlecomer Discovery park, woodland walks and fishing lakes
Explore Woodlands & Lake fishing in Castlecomer
Castlecomer Discovery Park grounds consist of 30 hectares (80 acres) of mixed woodland on the banks of the River Deen which were once part of the old Wandesforde Estate.
There are 6km of themed woodland walks centred on our two rainbow trout angling lakes.
The three main walking routes are colour coded and signposted and there are also a number of interconnecting paths.
The woodlands also play host to a number of wooden sculptures.
These were created on-site in September 1999 by a number of Irish and International artists working with the natural materials of the area.
Castlecomer Discovery park, Sculpture - Nigel Borrington
Twelve sculptures were created within the woodland, designed to blend in with and complement their surroundings and five of these now remain. They can be found scattered throughout the woodlands.
A stone sculpture located in the parkland beside the river is a replica of a culm grinder, which would have been used to grind coal dust to a fine powder.
Picnic tables are located in the parkland by the river’s edge close to the car park and children’s playground and there are also a number of more secluded picnic spots located along the woodland walks

St John’s Church Kilkenny
St Johns Kilkenny, by kilkenny photogrpher : Nigel Borrington
St John Parish church, Kilkenny.
The orginal Roman Catholic Parish Church of St. John’s was situated in Maudlin Street. This earlier church’s construction commemced in 1840 and was finished by 1847. It was the last in line of several churches or Mass Houses that had existed in Maudlin Street. The stone from this earlier church was later used in the building of the Dr. Collier Wing of St. Kieran’s College that opened in 1956. The site of the new St. John’s was donated by the Marquis of Ormonde. The foundation stone was laid on the 22nd May 1897 and consecrated on the 20th of June 1908.
The original design was by William Hague, on his death, it was completed by William H. Byrne. It was built in the neo-Gothic style popular at the time. Difficulties encountered early on meant that the original spire in the design was omitted to ensure the stability of the building. The large sculptured panel over the front door incorporates an eagle, symbol of St. John the Evangelist.
The church is often known as the O’Loughlin Memorial Church. This commemorates Thomas O’Loughlin of Sandfordscourt. Thomas’ uncle Martin has made his fortune in the Australian gold rush. On inheriting this fortune Thomas carried out his uncle’s wishes to build a church in his native diocese of Ossory. He donated £50,000 towards the construction of St. John’s. He was later made a Papal Count in recognition of his generosity.
