4 July 2009 - The gull fight
Gulls fight over a few crumbs of bread at the Lough in Cork. Taken during a photowalk there last year.
12 April 2009 - Heron Landing
Heron coming in to land on the Lough, Cork.
I’d love to have a big huge high quality zoom lens.
2 July 2008 - Kinsale at Night
The quiet, residential part of Kinsale as photographed from the busy touristy part across the harbour! This was a long exposure shot that came out quite nicely but it did show up the dead pixels on my sensor again. Good thing I don’t have time to shoot many of these types of photos nowadays.
The fight against comment spammers never ends. This blog is listed on a few “do follow” listings and I caught someone this morning leaving a comment after they came here from a “site:inphotos.org” Google search. The comment is delinked but even if I hadn’t, his url still wouldn’t have shown because I only show it after a certain number of comments have been made. It’s my thank you to the regular commenters here. The pagerank you get from that link isn’t diluted by the spammers.
PS. Phil O’Kane will be in Cork next weekend from Friday to Sunday. I’ll be meeting him at Robodock at 3pm and hopefully before but maybe we can get a small photomeet together at some stage on Saturday or Sunday?
9 May 2008 - The birds of Schull
Two seagulls wander into the water on the slip that serves the Bere Ferry in Schull Harbour.
Jacinta was the first to notice that actually, the Bere Ferry does not go from Schull. It lands at Castletownbere! Oops!
6 April 2008 - Call of the evening
A bird atop the light outside my house calls into the glowing evening sky heralding the end of 2007.
After walking Oscar I had to grab my camera and shoot the beautiful evening sky. The background was this colour, there’s no trickery here except a little vignetting and sharpening.
26 March 2008 - Swans on The Lough
Swans swim past on The Lough in Cork City. This was one of the first photos I took at the recent photowalk there. Despite the clear blue sky and lovely light it was quite cold with a biting wind!
25 March 2008 - Three’s a crowd
Some of the swans at the Lough a few weeks ago during the photo walk. Got a few more shots from that session to post!
15 March 2008 - Heads 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 to right: Donal, Ryan, Kevin, Katie and Sean spotted me and started shooting the biggest birdbrain there ..
13 March 2008 - The pigeon flies away!
Besides the beautiful swans, there’s the usual gathering of pigeons waddling along on the path picking up bread crumbs.
Too tempting. I had to chase after them and encourage them to fly a little. Some of them need the exercise!
12 March 2008 - Feed the swans at the Lough
Girls feed the swans at the Lough on Sunday afternoon.
Urban acid 
Will posted his first photo from the day on his blog. He did arrive late, but he made up for lost time!
