Thumbs up for Cork! You may remember this gentleman from a photo I posted around a year ago (it’s pure coincidence I’m posting this today! Really!) This was shot in Midleton, Co. Cork during the Food and Drink Festival in 2006. Nice guy who came over for a chat afterwards.

Thumbs up for Cork!

This will be the first in an occasional series to help photographers use the GIMP to post process their photos. The Levels tool (right click on your image, [...]

Spectators on the beach
Filed in Autumn, Beach, Candid, Canon 20D, Inch Strand, Ireland, Kerry, People, Photos, Sea, Sigma 10-20, Sky, WaterSpectators on the beach The hang gliding crowd attracted a bit of a crowd on Inch Beach in 2006. Well, it was late September and there wasn’t that many people on the beach in the first place, so 2 people isn’t so bad, eh? Hunger got the best of us and we watched as a [...]

Emergency!
Filed in Architecture, Black and White, California, Canon 20D, Look up, Photos, San Francisco, Sigma 10-20, Sky, United States, UrbanEmergency! In an emergency such as a fire you want to be able to escape from a building quickly and be assured that there’s plenty of water to fight the flames. I presume these capped pipes have something to do with that purpose?

This was taken in 2006, when I think I shot the rest of my Ballycotton images. I love the imposing clouds and the leading lines of the bows.

Lonesome Donkey
Filed in Animals, Canon 20D, Ireland, Kerry, Nature, Photos, Sigma 10-20, Slea HeadLonesome Donkey A donkey, alone in his field. There’s a horse in the background but he’s being fed. The donkey doesn’t get anything. Poor thing. Spotted on the road around Slea Head at the end of the Dingle Peninsula, Co. Kerry. That’s the last of the donkey pictures. For now.

There was no sand to be seen during repeated visits there in September 2007. I had actually quite forgotten I had taken this so it was nice to see the lovely [...]

Donkey eyes staring at me
Filed in Animals, Autumn, Baile na nGall, Canon 20D, Dingle, Ireland, Kerry, Nature, Photos, Sigma 18-200, Sky, SunDonkey eyes staring at me The donkey knows everything. He stands in his field every day contemplating life. This is the same donkey I posted before in Baile na nGall, Co. Kerry. We passed that way last September and I didn’t see him so if you see a wandering donkey, tell him I said hi!

Much to the annoyance of my dog Oscar, I stopped and spent a good 10 minutes shooting this scene and basked [...]
