Title: The Great Big Photo Thread
Post by: admin on June 12, 2013
(http://i.imgur.com/gXfugGM.jpg)

There's nothing better than seeing pics of people's fun in the outdoors. If you take a pic you think other people might like, post it here. There's no topic or theme other than "Outdoors", we all just want to enjoy the fun that everyone else is having while we're sitting in front of the computer screen. Feel free to post pictures you already have in your collection if you think they would be enjoyed by the NI-Wilders - pics don't have to be taken right now! However, the best possible picture is live from your phone while you're doing something fun (for maximum jealousy 8))

The best way to post pics is detailed here (http://www.ni-wild.co.uk/forum/forum-news-information-and-help/how-to-easily-post-pictures/)

You can also upload direct from Tapatalk to this thread. If you can't be bothered with any of that, just email the picture to the email address below with some details in the subject / body as to what the photo is, where you took it and what your forum name is and we'll take care of the rest. If you have a smartphone you can send it straight from the phone, just save the email address below in your contacts!

(http://www.ni-wild.co.uk/images/contact-address.jpg)

Please provide details if you can, it makes it easier to appreciate the photo!

Just goes to show how good the cameras in phones are - this was taken with my wee Samsung.
Perfect weather conditions, if anything too hot!
I can recommend the Glen Nevis campsite too - great facilities, including a good chippie on site and a bar nearby.
Interestingly, there were red deer swinging in the halfway loch on the way down.  These were so tame I was able to walk within 30 feet of them, quite a contrast from the ones I see in Donegal - they're gone if they see you half a mile away!

I managed to get a couple of cracking days out in the Antrim Hills.  Good weather makes such a difference up there.

Yeah, the North Coast is one of the best, most beautiful places to be. We were camping round at Glenmore Lodge for a few days. View from the tent was amazing  :)

Was up divis yesterday evening, aside from the masts there are cracking views, taken on my I phone as I was only out a dander with cash.  Good to see lots of people out walking even though its only a stones throw from the city.  (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/11/u2aqy3up.jpg)

There was a ferry heading out of the lough.

Hi Claire. Would I have seen you today around 1.30 on the path around the bottom of Meelbeg? We were just coming up from the dam to tackle Meelbeg as someone walking a dog like yours went past and I said hello but only realised that it might be you later on.

I bumped into her today as well (also recognised the dog first), we had just parted ways before that point, maybe it was something i said  8)

8) Indeed, it's Islandmagee across Larne Lough.  I think the big step bit you see on the silhouette of the land behind the lights is Knockdhu - at the start of the Sallagh Braes.

That's a nice spot Paulocon - if I went there it would rain and be zero visibility  ;D

Class photos Phil, you must have been up early as there's not a footprint to be seen. It just looks so peaceful.

That would have been a great way to start your day mate.

Post by: phil_b on January 05, 2014
Yea, I was the first person on Donard and Comedagh, wasn't exactly peaceful though with high winds and driving rain and sleet. I left the carpark just before 7 and was on top of Donard for 8.15 as it was getting light.

Im probably going to do something similar next sat or Sunday as I need some ascents in my legs before having a go at mount Teide in tenerife at the end of the month so everyone welcome again. I do like an early start though ;D. I also have over 1st to shift since doing almost no walking since my son was born in september. :(

This is the first time that I have seen this thread and I can't believe I have missed out on seeing some of the fantastic photo that have been posted  :o

Phil_b, you have taken some very impressive shots and it has totally inspired me to brush the dust off my Nikon and get into the hills this winter.

I have got so used to grabbing my LX5 compact on the way out the door that I had pretty much forgot that I own a DSLR.  I'm even finding myself getting even lazier and relying more and more on my iPhone these days, which is such a shame because when I got my DSLR kit together a few years ago it was my pride and joy.

Hopefully, with the wee bit of time I have off over Christmas, my DSLR will be reborn and what better excuse could there be for getting an early morning walk in the hills.

Great thread and great photos... Keep em coming  :)

Nice one Claire, who needs a DSLR when you're in the right place at the right time you'll get a good pic, and with a smaller camera you have more chance of having it with you  ;D

Hi folks.

I just thought I'd post this website that my brother has created, he's always finding new places in the world to explore, and includes his love of photography into his trips.

Tanzania, Arazona, the Amazon, Patagonia, are only just a handful of the places he's been to.

Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Photos in this thread are just awesome!!! Where would we be without our cameras to capture great moments?
Some random pics using my phone (iP5) from last years adventures  :D
I usually just point & press and now and again I sort of get a 'decent' one lol.
All relevant to being outside and enjoying the great outdoors. Hope you like them.
Areas include Antrim Coast, Mournes, Orkney/Hoy, Stoer, Cairngorms/Glencoe & Morocco.

Stunning pics people.  Did you cast a glance over towards the Western Mournes while you were there?  I was wondering if there was any snow cover on Cock, Pigeon Rock, Tornamrock etc.

Hi. H was up past spelga last Sunday and there was a decent bit up there but when I was up the trassey track on wednesday a lot of the lower snow was disappearing and a lot of running water about. With the mild weather this last few days I would think a lot of the snow overall is gone.

Snapped this beauty a couple of weeks ago at Hare's Gap. Forecast said it was going to be clear!

A wee walk around Binnian last week for sunset. My first time into the Mournes since February.
