  • 5 Things I dislike about my new iMac

    I’ve had about a month with the new iMac and after discussing some of the background story and completing some performance tests I’ve now had some proper time to live with the machine in normal day-in-day-out type of activity. I feel I can now talk with confidence about some of the stuff I like (planned post) and dislike (today’s topic).

  • Clear Day Ahead

    Well it’s been pretty quiet around here recently, particularly on the photography front. It got a little geeky there for a while with all…

  • My New iMac | Unboxing and First Impressions

    One week in and I share my first impressions of the new mid-2011 Apple iMac. I complete the speed testing I started last week comparing the iMac against my old Mac Pro. I also share a number of unboxing photos.

  • My New Toy has Arrived | 27-inch iMac

    My new Apple 27-inch iMac has arrived in the door. Before I even take it out of it’s packaging I decided to write this article and share with you the reasons I upgraded from my old MacPro to an iMac.

  • A Floral Image | Diamond Patterns

    A close-up of the delicate petals of a Centaurea montana flower set against a soft green background. The image I am posting today is a follow-up to one I posted earlier last month although taking a different perspective on the flower also known as a Bachelor’s Button.

  • A Dublin Seascape | A Cool Sun Rises – Howth in Dublin, Ireland

    The sun slips behind a small cloud as it rises, casting a cool light upon the sea and brings a new day to Howth in Dublin in Ireland. It was just over a year ago when this image was taken, July 3rd, 2010 to be exact. I remember it so well as it was during one of the most magnificent sunrises I witnessed last year.
