Wet, shiny stones
Filed in Canon 40D, Canon 50mm f1.8, Cork, Fountainstown, Ireland, Photography, Photos, SeaThe 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 [...]

Fountainstown Sunset
Filed in Canon 40D, Canon 50mm f1.8, Cork, Ireland, Photography, Photos, UrbanThe beach at Fountainstown in County Cork faces east but in the twilight there’s still a glow in that direction.

Fuchsia
Filed in Canon 40D, Cork, Flowers, Fountainstown, Ireland, Nature, Photography, Photos, Sigma 18-200Fuchsia flowers are really difficult to photograph. You need a macro lens because the flower is so small and a regular lens has trouble focusing so close. The flowers hang down and catch the wind so easily it’s quite a challenge to get a steady shot. Here’s one I shot earlier in Fountainstown, Co Cork [...]

Windswept Daisies
Filed in Beach, Canon 20D, Cork, Flowers, Fountainstown, Ireland, Landscape, Nature, Photography, Photos, Rocks, Sea, Sigma 10-20, WaterDaisies cling to the sparse earth at the water’s edge in Fountainstown, Co Cork. This was taken just a few metres from my previous Fountainstown picture and was mocking me for over 2 years, sitting in my “Work in Progress” folder, defying my attempts to capture the feeling of that cold October day in 2006.
