Carvery Lunch, the fast food of “proper food” IMO. Many will be going to pubs today for their Sunday lunch and it’ll be carvery on offer. Nothing wrong with it of course, but some people are snobs about eating out and want food delivered to their table. Considering the price of carvery food, I can [...]

That’s Sean Murphy in the background as he preps some of his equipment to take a shot. Probably my last photo from the Lough Photowalk!

Heads up at the Lough
Filed in Birds, Candid, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, People, Photos, The Lough, Urban, WaterHeads up at the Lough This was shot from a precarious position. I jumped up on one of the concrete posts dotted around the pond and very carefully snapped a couple of shots. I just about managed to balance there for a few minutes! See the two black swans everyone else was shooting? From left [...]

A big head is natural
Filed in Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, People, Photos, Sport, Street, The Lough, UrbanA big head is natural I was setting up a shot by placing that wheel cap leaning on the bus shelter when these two teenagers ran across the road carrying a football goal between them! Anyway, there’s the Murphy’s stout advert I wanted to shoot. I wonder if they advertise anywhere else in the country?

The pigeon flies away!
Filed in Birds, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Look up, People, Photos, Sky, The Lough, UrbanThe pigeon flies away!

Some of them need the exercise!

Filed in Birds, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Nature, Photos, The Lough, Urban, WaterThe Swan’s Wings You really only appreciate how large and imposing a swan is when they rear up out of the water and spread their magnificent wings. While at The Lough on Sunday there were a number of fights between swans. Guess it’s that time of the year again, eh? The swans were fairly tame [...]
