Spectators on the beach

Sunday, February 10th, 2008 by Donncha

The hang gliding attracted a bit of a on Inch in 2006. Well, it was late September and there wasn’t that many on the in the first place, so 2 isn’t so bad, eh?

Hunger got the best of us and we watched as a powered flew high up in the air. I don’t think any of the gliders made it up that day because the winds weren’t right.

The sandy beach at Couminole

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008 by Donncha

I photographed the at on the Dingle Peninsula back in 2006 when there was a there. There was no to be seen during repeated visits there in September 2007.

I had actually quite forgotten I had taken this so it was nice to see the lovely sandy !

Trivia - a well known member of Mallow Camera Club who shall remain nameless was caught by the tide and had to remain sitting on the for several hours in wet, foggy and rough conditions until the tide went out again.

Shih Tzu playing ball on the beach

Friday, August 10th, 2007 by Donncha

Our pet Shih Tzu, with a tennis ball in his mouth on a few weeks before Adam was born last April.
He loves running after the ball, but the poor little doggy is a bit lame right now. We took him to the vet who couldn’t find anything wrong. This has happened before and he recovered so fingers crossed he gets better this time too.
The strange thing is, it only affects him when he’s walking on pavements or roads. On grass he’s almost fine, and at home you wouldn’t know it from his running around! Dog psychology?

A child playing in the sand

Monday, July 30th, 2007 by Donncha

This little was in the on the as we walked past. Plenty of toys about, but I don’t think she had built a castle yet. It’s lovely to see children in the . It’s an age of innocence and (sometimes) simple joy that we forget as adults.

A few weeks before Adam was born we went down to in Co. . The sun was shining, it was warm and the had a good number of on it. Beautiful day!

G-BKSP on Inch Strand

Monday, June 4th, 2007 by Donncha

Another shot from our few hours at in Co. last September. This is G-BKSP waiting on the to fly. Unlike the glider I posted earlier I saw this fly. Unfortunately conditions weren’t suitable for flying the gliders before we had to head home to .

EI-128 ready to fly

Thursday, May 17th, 2007 by Donncha

Here’s another shot of EI-128. Following my last shot I moved to the other side of the to capture some of the and hills behind.

This was originally shot at an angle to get as much vertical space in but I rotated the image and filled in the and background as well as I was able. is usually quite easy to fill in because it’s so uniform but there was a gradient of shade according to how damp it was that made things harder.

EI-128 on Inch Strand

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007 by Donncha

Last September a large group of enthusiasts spent a weekend at in Co. . They were from two clubs, one in Dublin and one from further north I think. I took down their details but that scrap of paper is long lost at this stage.

Conditions weren’t the best on the day we passed the . It was a beautiful sunny day, but the wind wasn’t blowing in the right direction and the only I saw flying was a powered one. We were on our way home so couldn’t wait around unfortunately. I still got some nice shots. Hopefully I’ll find time to work on them over the next few weeks!

Waves crash on the tyre

Saturday, February 17th, 2007 by Donncha

A causes to crash up and splash over it on the at in Co. almost a year ago.

This picture languished in my archives until last weekend when I frantically looked about for “” releated material for theme night at the camera club!

If you’re around at the weekend, Mallow Camera Club is hosting the SACC Annual Competition and Exhibition tomorrow. A number of other clubs will be enter the competition and should be a good day out. Unfortunately I can’t be there due to prior commitments. Also, on Monday night Des Clinton will give a talk at the club on “Best of Irish” which should be a good night. A number of his images can be seen in this gallery.

PS. a tyre is a tire.
