As you may have already guessed, that’s not the dawn. It’s the lights of Cork City (and Blarney) shining and into the sky in a long exposure shot I made last August. I had meant to mention this sooner but 2 weeks ago I was shocked to hear about the death of Debbie Metrustry (@debbiemet), [...]

Look up at the roof
Filed in Black and White, Canon 40D, Photography, Photos, Sigma 10-20The ceiling of the Sanctuaire de Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré in Quebec is quite a sight. In a low light situation you can’t get a more stable support than the floor at your feet, lucky me. A wide angle lens meant I had to run for cover lest the camera capture me in the image.

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 [...]

Only 9 places left for the photowalk. Unfortunately the weather forecast for Saturday is bad so umbrellas and raincoats are a must. [...]

Windsor Leaves
Filed in Canon 10-22, Canon 40D, Landscape, Long Exposure, Photography, Photos, Sky, United Kingdom, UrbanDown by the river in Windsor the ground was littered with autumn leaves and served as a perfect foreground for someone else’s castle.. That was a great idea of Matt’s to head down that direction!
