My First Attempt at HDR Photography – Port St Mary Inner Harbour

Posted on January 28, 2012January 28, 2012 by Peter Killey

Just playing around with a new High Dynamic Range (HDR) photo programme and this is my first feeble attempt!!

Both images were captured late afternoon and show Port St Mary inner Harbour at low tide. The images were captured on my Fuji X10 camera, resized and cropped in Adobe Photoshop CS5 and Tone Mapped in Photomatix.

Ballakermeen High School – Better Known As “Balla”

Posted on January 2, 2012January 2, 2012 by Peter Killey

It is very rare to see this school without one car parked in front of it, so I grabbed the opportunity today whilst the school is still closed for the Christmas/New Year period. I am sure this image will bring back loads of good and bad memories to those pupils that attended it, it certainly does for me! It is worth noting that this school that was completed in 1939 initially served as classrooms for young boys mostly aged 16 who had signed up with the Royal Navy for 12 years and they were a familiar site during this war period marching from their ship (H.M.S St George) to Ballakermeen School to learn the basic knowledge of signalling and telegraphy.

Hunt The Wren – St Stephen’s Day Manx Tradition (Boxing Day)

Posted on December 26, 2011December 29, 2011 by Peter Killey

The custom of ‘hunting the wren’ has long been an Isle of Man tradition, and is still kept alive each St Stephen’s Day. It is thought that it is descended from Celtic mythology and the tradition may also have been influenced by Scandinavian settlers during the Viking invasions of the 8th and 10th centuries. Historically, groups of young men known as ‘wren boys’ would hunt a wren and then tie the sacred bird to the top of a pole, decorated with holly sprigs and ribbons. With blackened faces, the group would sing at houses and receive for money, presents or food for their efforts. Those that gave money to the boys would receive a feather from the wren as thanks. The collected money was then used to host a village dance. Superstitious Manx fishermen were known not to venture out…
