I am considering the possibility of producing many more videos and it is not most likely that I will purchase the recently introduced Sony FX30. Until now the Camcorder that I have used is a twelve year old Sony VG10E which I actually like but it is difficult to use and it lacks many important features.
However, I will not get the the FX3 until after Sony announces the new A7RV but I may not be willing to pay the price unless it is a major improvement over my A7RV and to be honest I suspect that I will go with the FX30.

LUAS TRAM STOP AT BROADSTONE TESTING iOS 16 IN JUNE 2022
The Luas Green Line, serves the DIT Campus in Grangegorman with two Luas stops called Broadstone – DIT and Grangegorman. This connects Broadstone Plaza from Constitution Hill to Grangegorman. The Luas continues northwards to Broombridge railway station along the old Broadstone Railway line and southbound to Phibsboro and Dublin City Centre.
On thing that I have considered is switching from mirrorless cameras to iPhones or other smartphones. I have today, 7 June 2022, installed iOS 16 on my iPhone 12 Pro Max and took the opportunity to capture some images locally. In many ways I am very impressed by the iPhone as a camera but I don’t really enjoy using it as much as using a normal camera with a viewfinder. I should mention that I used the Apple camera app and Halide Mark II.
iOS 16 is the 16th and upcoming major release of the iOS mobile operating system developed by Apple for its iPhone line of products. It was announced at the company’s Worldwide Developers Conference on June 6, 2022, as the successor to iOS 15.
The public version of iOS 16 is expected to be released in late 2022, while the public beta is expected to become available in July 2022.
Halide couples the power of a DSLR camera with a clutter-free interface you can control with one thumb. Intuitive gestures, modelled after the focus and exposure dials on an old-school camera, make pros feel at home while capturing gorgeous ML-enhanced RAW images. And with Halide II’s support for Siri Shortcuts and a dedicated Apple Watch app, snapping the shutter from afar is a breeze.
WILLIAM DARGAN BRIDGE IN DUNDRUM – AS YOU MAY HAVE GUESSED I LIKE THIS BRIDGE
William Dargan Bridge, opened in 2004, is a cable-stayed bridge in Dundrum, Dublin in Ireland. It carries the Luas light rail line (Green Line) across a busy road junction. The bridge connects rail alignments which were formerly part of the Harcourt Street railway line.
The bridge crosses the R112 and R117 regional roads as well as the little-known Slang River.
William Dargan (28 February 1799 – 7 February 1867) was arguably the most important Irish engineer of the 19th century and certainly the most important figure in railway construction. Dargan designed and built Ireland’s first railway line from Dublin to Dún Laoghaire in 1833. In total he constructed over 1,300 km (800 miles) of railway to important urban centres of Ireland. He was a member of the Royal Dublin Society and also helped establish the National Gallery of Ireland. He was also responsible for the Great Dublin Exhibition held at Leinster lawn in 1853. His achievements were honoured in 1995, when the Dargan Railway Bridge in Belfast was opened, and again in 2004 when the Dargan Bridge, Dublin a new cable stayed bridge for Dublin’s Light Railway Luas were both named after him.
The Royal Dublin Society elected Dargan as a life member in November 1851. After attending the Crystal Palace Exhibition of 1851, William Dargan proposed to the society with an extended exhibition, with an offer of £20, 000 of funding.
As the committee of the 1853 Exhibition believed that this event would be self-financing, mainly relying on Dargan’s contribution of £20, 000, it was announced that there would be no cash donations taken. After the building costs had risen by the autumn of 1852, the committee was forced to make a public subscription, but Dargan offered another £6, 000 as patronage. It eventually reached to the point that Dargan personally funded this exhibition with a considerable amount of £88, 000. Dublin Exhibition received many visitors. Although there were only 400 people on the first two days, this number rises to 4, 000 a week later, and to 5, 000 on the following day. The British royal party arrived at Dun Laoghair on 29 August 1853 at the purpose to attend the exhibition, and Queen Victoria personally meets William Dargan.
Prince Albert commented both on Dargan and the Dublin Exhibition, “Mr Dargan is the man of the people. He is a simple, unobtrusive, retiring man, a thorough Irishman, not always quite sober of an evening, industrious, kind to his workmen, but the only man who has by his own determination & courage put a stop to every strike or combination of workmen, of which the Irish are so fond. All he has done has been done on the field of Industry & not of politics or Religion, without the Priest or factious conspiracy, without the promise of distant extraordinary advantages but with immediate apparent benefit. The Exhibition, which must be pronounced to be very successful, has done wonders in this respect. A private undertaking, unaided by Govt, or any Commission with Royal Authority, made and erected at the sole expense of a single Individual, & this an Irish Road contractor, not long ago a common labourer himself, who had raised himself solely by his own industry & energy, – it deserves the greatest credit & is looked upon by the Irish with infinite self-satisfaction as an emblem of national hope”.
William Dargan ultimately lost £20,000. At the close of the exhibition the Irish National Gallery on Leinster Lawn, as a monument to Dargan, was erected, with a fine bronze statue of himself in front, looking out upon Merrion Square.
On Sat 4th Sep [until Sun 7th Nov] a series of essential engineering works started at Phibsborough Luas Stop. To facilitate these works, temporary partial closures of Luas Green Line Stops between Broombridge and Parnell will be required over 4 weekends. In addition, access to Phibsborough Luas Stop will be limited in the weeks between the temporary partial closures. https://luas.ie/phibsborough-works-2021/
Phibsborough is a stop on the Luas light-rail tram system in Dublin, Ireland. It opened in 2017 as a stop on Luas Cross City, an extension of the Green Line through the city centre from St. Stephen’s Green to Broombridge.
The stop is located in the cutting which once took heavy rail trains to Dublin Broadstone railway station but lay disused for many years. The stop is in-between Cabra Road and North Circular Road, both of which cross the line on bridges. The cutting is very narrow at this point, and the stop is bound by steep walls on each side covered with stone bricks. The edge platforms are considerably narrower than on most Luas stops, and have shelters, benches, information displays and Leap card validators.
The stop has entrances at both ends, taking passengers from the road bridges onto wooden walkways over the tracks. At each end there is a wooden staircase directly opposite the entrance and a glass lift shaft on the opposite side. The ticket machines are also located at this level. Owing to the limited space, Phibsborough is the only Luas stop which does not have ticket machines at platform level.
