The Parting Shot for March 17, 2012
The Ballymacdermot Cairn located in Co Armagh, Northern Ireland.
This monument, lying on the slopes of Ballymacdermot Mountain close to Newry,
is an extremely well preserved Neolithic burial site with three chambers.
It can be dated between 4000 and 2500 BC. Locally known as ‘The Fairy Ring’, and is reputed to be haunted.
Capture here under full moon with a ring of Fire by means of oil lantern.

Michelle, ever hear of a book called The Crock of Gold by James Stephens? a great book by a great Irish author. maybe google it. anyway, this pic reminded me of it. g’nite gracie…continue…
I’ll check it out. Gnite, Gracie!
It’s certainly a great photo!
Yes. I’d like to know what they did to get the circle of light.
Hasd someone running round with a lamp and used a very slow shutter speed I expect 🙂
That’s what I thought, but wouldn’t you be able to see the person’s motion in addition to the light?
I just know that when I was photographing some cars at night with a very slow shutter speed so that I would capture the lights as streaks, a man walked across in front of the camera and when I put the shot on the computer all you could see of him was a bit of one foot.. don’t ask me how it works but it seems to !
Interesting. Thanks! I’ll have to give it a try sometime.
I’m sure if you google it you’ll find the answers 🙂
That is amazing. Where do you find your photos?
Click on the photo credit’s name and go to that site. There are tons of great photos. Although I just recently found this site. Many are pix that came across facebook and I just saved because I liked them. That’s why I don’t know the photo credit on many.
You definitely have a good eye for finding great images!
LOL.. thanks!
