30 October 2009 - Bubbling Water
Water flows down to the beach at Fountainstown, bubbling as it goes over rocks and seaweed.
PS. I’ve reduced the cost of all prints by about $50 to $80 for the largest size framed prints. Most of the cost goes towards manufacturing and my markup is only 20% on all prints. Check ‘em out in my gallery and of course if a photo on the site takes your interest contact me and let me know!
9 October 2009 - Wet, shiny stones
The outgoing tide on Fountainstown Beach leaves behind wet stones and seaweed as it retreats.
This is a long exposure shot of one second with my camera resting on one of those rocks!
By the time you read this I’ll be on a plane, in the air most likely, or waiting for a connection in Heathrow more likely. More details to follow.
19 September 2009 - Fountainstown Sunset
The beach at Fountainstown in County Cork faces east but in the twilight there’s still a glow in that direction. This was shot with my 50mm lens, really close to the surface of the water there while gentle waves lapped the shoreline.
Unfortunately as a result I had set the focus point so the water would be in focus and today forgot to change it, thus ruining a nice photograph at a family occasion. Then the focus somehow got kicked into manual on my 18-200 lens and ruined another few photos. Oh well.
Love this shot though!
18 September 2009 - Kite Surfer
A lone kite surfer flies through the water at Garrettstown Beach in County Cork a few weeks ago.
Last weekend with the good weather the beach was packed, but we were there when it was cold, rain drizzled, and a cold wind whipped up the fine sand everywhere. Place was deserted.
I like this photo. Made the trip worthwhile!

I always have a soft spot for Springer Spaniels. The beaches at Myrtleville and Fountainstown seem to be a favourite haunt of them if our experiences are anything to go by. Here’s a Springer that played with my son Adam at the beach in Fountainstown. They had a great time together!
Almost recovered. Stomach is still grumbling but the huge weakness I felt yesterday and this morning is gone. Relieved.
6 September 2009 - Feet in Sand
Feeling like crap today because of a bug that’s going around. Worst of it was last night but I can feel it getting worse again. Argh!
10 August 2009 - Bucket and Spade
My son’s bucket and spade lie forgotten on Fountainstown Beach while he goes off throwing stones in the water.
31 July 2009 - The Green Boat
A green boat sits in the shallows at low tide in Crosshaven, County Cork.
28 July 2009 - Rocky Bay
Rocky Bay in County Cork is a beautiful little sandy beach, despite the name.
22 July 2009 - Hurling on the beach
A man leans on a hurley while his son runs after the sliotar (off picture) down the beach at Garrettstown last March.
