Rock of Cashel, Tipperary, Ireland

The first in a couple of posts from a recent trip to Ireland – a mixed trip consisting of a few days holiday, and a few days of business meetings and reviews. On one day of the trip, we took a tourbus to Blarney Castle and the Rock of Cashel (a.k.a. Saint Patrick’s Rock).

According to legend, the Rock of Cashel originated in the Devil’s Bit, a mountain 20 miles (30 km) north of Cashel when St. Patrick banished Satan from a cave, resulting in the Rock’s landing in Cashel. Cashel is reputed to be the site of the conversion of the King of Munster by St. Patrick in the 5th century. Prior to the Norman invasion of Ireland, this was also the seat of the Munster Kings.

I was fortunate and able to get a few shots in between the other tourists, some of which had zero respect for the site, climbing over gravestones like they were jungle gyms, and generally pissing off everyone around them. As for the tour, things went fairly well, I would have liked more time here at the Rock of Cashel and Blarney Castle and less time at the stop in the city of Cork, but overall it was a great day with my wife running around south-eastern Ireland.

As I edit other photographs from this trip, I will update this post and include those from the Rock of Cashel, and post other images to new pages. I am extremely happy with the way these have rendered and there are a few more I need to process while on the road.

Spent the morning yesterday walking around SoHo and the East Village grabbing food, photos and flashbacks.

At least the Astor Place Cube is still there, and kids still spin it `round (like a record baby).

I needed a stand for my MacBook Pro to keep it out of the way when using it with my dual monitor setup

Sketched it up in Fusion 360 and printed in carbon fiber PLA on the BambuLab X1C

The STL is available on Printables and also making them for people who can’t print themselves DM for price and info

More fun with the Mavic 3 Pro and @steelstacks_pa. It`s been a while since I actively flew drones and getting out (almost) every day to relearn the muscle memory to manually fly and shoot video at the same time. Yes - I know you can automate the flying but if you cant do it manually when things go wrong it can turn out REALLY badly.

I edited the video for online viewing in Adobe Premier Rush. I will probably end up moving back to Premier Pro unless someone has a better suggestion for editing and manipulating the video streams in post.
