Not the best image I’ll admit, but to the naked eye these guys were just a blur they were going to fast. I think this was shot while I was quickly zooming out after shooting them coming down the road.

Filed in Blarney, Candid, Canon 40D, Cork, Ireland, People, Photography, Photos, Sigma 18-200, Street, Urban, VehiclesTour of Ireland riders race through the main street in Blarney at speed. It seems like everyone came out to cheer them on! Will sent me a text this morning saying the legal requirements for a charity event are too much for the planned Pink for October on the 20th of September, but he wondered [...]

Tour of Ireland Leading Group in Blarney
Filed in Blarney, Candid, Canon 40D, Cork, Ireland, People, Photography, Photos, Sigma 18-200, Street, UrbanYesterday the Tour of Ireland rode (quickly) through Blarney village, but the main group was proceeded by these three cyclists by almost 4 minutes. Good thing too, good practice for when the rest sped through in front of us at breakneck speed!

Filed in Blarney, Canon 20D, Cork, Flowers, Ireland, Nature, Photography, Photos, Sigma 18-200Colourful red and white flowers in the doorway of Supervalu in Blarney. I half thought about posting Damien’s picture from yesterday’s get together, especially after what lexia said but that’d be too cruel!

How to (not) shoot a solar eclipse
Filed in Blarney, Canon 20D, Canon 75-300, Cork, Ireland, Look up, Photography, Photos, Sky, SunI went searching and found a few pages describing how to shoot the sun during a solar eclipse. All warned against looking at the sun directly. So, I ignored all that advice and got out my 75-300mm lens and grabbed a couple of shots of the sun with a chunk bitten out of it by [...]

Blarney Castle and River Martin
Filed in Architecture, Black and White, Blarney, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Landscape, Nature, Photography, Photos, Sigma 18-200, Trees, WaterThe River Martin flows near Blarney Castle in Co. Cork on a cold December morning in 2005. The Castle grounds were quiet that day with hardly a soul about! Spencer Tunick would have been hardly known in the area at the time.

Where did all the naked people in Blarney go?
Filed in Blarney, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Nature, Photos, Sigma 18-200, Trees, UrbanSpencer Tunick shot one of his “installations” in Blarney this morning. I don’t know if everyone congregated in the gardens in front of the Castle, or if it was behind but this is the view from the top of Blarney Castle so Spencer may have taken a shot from here. Well done to everyone who [...]

Filed in Blarney, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Photos, Sigma 18-200, UrbanA few days ago, in the middle of the day, I noticed a smell of burning plastic wafting in the open window of my home office. I looked outside and saw small flecks of black soot or ash tumbling to the ground. When I rushed downstairs and investigated, I discovered a thick plume of noxious [...]
