Down 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!

Filed in Automattic, Breckenridge, Canon 10-22, Canon 40D, Colorado, Landscape, Night, Photography, Photos, Sky, Trees, United StatesThe sun sets early in Breckenridge Colorado, well slightly earlier than in Ireland anyway. Myself and Anthony were working on one part of our secret project, and Mike Adams was working on the other bit, when Michael Koenig jumped up and went outside on to the balcony. I looked up and saw gorgeous red clouds [...]
Field of flowers
Filed in Allihies, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Cork, Flowers, Ireland, Nature, Photography, Photos, SkyFloods, hailstones, cold. Another typical Irish summer but thankfully it’s nice ad bright here in Blarney. Here’s a shot I took down at Allihies in West Cork back in April. It’d be perfect if the flowers were more in focus but I still love it.
Pretty Yellow Flowers
Filed in Bantry, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Cork, Flowers, Ireland, Look up, Nature, Photography, Photos, Sky, TreesPretty yellow flowers bloom in late April in the grounds of the Westlodge Hotel we stayed in while on holiday in Bantry. Spring was late coming to these gardens so it was nice to see a splash of colour!
Biosphere 2
Filed in Architecture, Arizona, Automattic, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Landscape, Photography, Photos, Sky, United StatesBiosphere 2 lies in the dusty hot desert in Arizona. It was originally designed as a self contained “world” where scientists stayed for an extended period of time. After going through the tour, there’s no way I’d volunteer to spend my time inside. It must have been very difficult being cooped up in one building. [...]
Which way from Castletownbere?
Filed in Black and White, Canon 10-22, Canon 20D, Co. Cork, Cork, Ireland, Look up, Photos, Signs, Sky, UrbanThere are so many places to visit in West Cork. Here’s a few of them. We didn’t visit Dursey Island but the beach at Allihies is lovely!
Clouds over the Conor Pass
Filed in Automattic, Canon 20D, Dingle, Ireland, Kerry, Landscape, Photos, Sigma 10-20, SkyClouds over the Conor Pass I’m loath to post photos from the same location day after day but I may as well call this “Conor Pass Week” and get the rest of them out of the dark where they’ve languished since 2006. After the reaction to yesterday’s Conor Pass photo hopefully you’ll like this one [...]
Ballycotton Fishing Boats
Filed in Ballycotton, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Photos, Sea, Sigma 10-20, Sky, WaterBallycotton Fishing Boats Fishing boats crowd the harbour in Ballycotton on a warm August afternoon. This was taken in 2006, when I think I shot the rest of my Ballycotton images. I love the imposing clouds and the leading lines of the bows.
The hat and the smoke
Filed in Candid, Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, People, Photos, Sigma 10-20, St Patrick's Street, Street, Urban, VehiclesThe hat and the smoke I made this image of the guy in the hat on Patrick’s Street last February and I knew I had a great street shot. I have no idea what those people in the car are doing but they left shortly after. Link love: Donal has a great portrait of some [...]
David (I think, there’s no author information on the post) of Digital Photography School has rediscovered his wide angle lens! He has a few examples, and the kids shots are particularly good. The two at the bottom of the page aren’t anything to write home about however. I’d have got closer in on the violin [...]
