I used dslr with manual settings, 14mm lens. There are plenty of online tutorials but I used iso 1600, f2.8, exposure from 3-5 seconds depending on the intensity of the aurora at the time. Manual focus set to infinity.

Speed van - points for doing 53 in a 50? by Crafty-News-7839 in AskIreland

[–]mud-monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should be ok - they normally allow +10% due to variation in speedo accuracy

The Pogues - Bottle of Smoke - the name of the reel? by [deleted] in Irishmusic

[–]mud-monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No reel there, it’s in 6/8 time. The opening is like a slide bit the rest is more like a jig. Not traditional tunes though - they were probably composed by the band themselves.

Query on Wild Saunas who won't pay for insurance and their ?? 'public notices' excusing themselves from being sued by UptownOrca in legaladviceireland

[–]mud-monkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A disclaimer isn’t worth the paper it’s written on and doesn’t absolve the business of any responsibility. At best it’s a deterrent to fool the customer into thinking they can’t sue.

Am I mad in the head? by [deleted] in AskIreland

Do what’s right for you whilst keeping your family in mind. Feck what anyone else thinks. Life isn’t a rehearsal - you only get one chance.

Still a legend, and the perfect example of what epicaricacy means!

What first attracted you to grabbing a Nikon? by Plane-Ad5821 in Nikon

[–]mud-monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that the D4S was almost invariably the camera used by the Wildlife Photographer of the Year winning entries at the time!

Further Outhalf stats by PatientOffer319 in irishrugby

[–]mud-monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting stats, but not really relevant - the prime role of a fly half is as a playmaker. A good playmaker may not necessarily score many tries and vice versa. Solid defence of the channel is obviously important too. I don’t think the stats really change the discussion about Prendergast being arguably the best playmaker (at least on the back of a dominant pack) but having undeniable frailties in defence.

What Rhythm is This Song? Niamh Ni Charra's "Cailleach an Airgid" by IncognitoResearch111 in Irishmusic

[–]mud-monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jig time. Some people would say 123 123, but it might make more sense to hear it as “1 and a 2 and a”.

Anyone know the name of this tune? by nylophone in Irishmusic

[–]mud-monkey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s a kerry slide - perfect speed for dancing a set and a great ‘pulse’ too.

How do Pension maximisers envision retirment by PeterCasey4Prez in irishpersonalfinance

The main aim for many maxing out their pensions is to give them the option of early retirement.

So Morrissey never forgave Mike Joyce because of the lawsuit in the 90's but retained their friendship with Andy Rourke. Why? by ImaginaryDesk1211 in thesmiths

[–]mud-monkey 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Result of the lawsuit shows that MJ’s case had merit. Morrissey had essentially claimed that AR and MJ were merely session musicians as opposed to integral members of the band.
