Clouds over the Lough
Filed in Black and White, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Landscape, Nature, Photos, Sigma 18-200, Sky, Sun, The Lough, Trees, Urban, WaterClouds over the Lough Clouds gather and block out the sun over the Lough in Cork last year. The display was beautiful as light wispy clouds and dark brooding rain clouds skirted across the sky. The sun made one final effort to shine, but the clouds won out and it started to rain moments later.

The mother swan was very protective and aggressive and reared up and spat at me a moment after I took this shot! Edit: This photo is hosted on Zoomr! Thomas Hawk is appealing to the [...]

The Swan Gang
Filed in Birds, Cork, Ireland, Nature, Photos, Sigma 10-20, The Lough, Urban, WaterThe Swan Gang Tough looking swans gather for bread at the Lough in Cork for bread. The problem with shooting dangerous wildlife with a wideangle lens is that unless you stick the camera in their faces nobody will believe you were risking life and limb by leaning down right next to them when shooting. Well, [...]
