The Transient Lunatic's photostream  

I'm an amateur astronomer, photographer, and all round know-it-all (what other type can there be?) from County Down, Northern Ireland, and I enjoy photographing almost anything, so I find myself carrying my camera (an Olympus SP-570UZ, or now my Canon EOS 450D) just about everywhere with me.
I spent seven years at the Methodist College in Belfast, and I took A-levels in Physics, Chemistry, Maths, and Geology, which I'm awaiting my results for. I'm hoping to carry Physics and Astronomy on to university, probably at the University of Glasgow, provided I haven't done too badly in the aforementioned A-levels.

I started taking photos quite some time ago; mostly by borrowing cameras from other people; I've always been inclined to take vast numbers of photographs whenever I go anywhere with a camera. I'm not really terribly sure whether that's a good thing, but I have the general opinion that it isn't...
