Faro de Tostón during Blue Hour
We visited the lighthouse at Faro de Tostón just before sunset. Lots of low cloud threatened to hide the sunset but fortunately a gap was left just above the horizon so we got a lovely glow and even after-sunset luminescence that provided some interesting silhouettes in the sky. This shot came about just before I…

When Scooter Hire Becomes Peak Holiday Energy
There were plenty of mobility scooters around the place and these two ladies had fun with one as they drove up and down a nearby road, blaring music and laughing. Aperture ƒ/4 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 24mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/800s

Bones and Brine
The cocederos, the shallow ponds where water evaporates and salt is collected, visible in the foreground in front of the fin whale skeleton at the Salt Museum in Fuerteventura. Shout out to Finbarr for the lift to the museum that morning! 🙂 Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 157mm ISO 320 Shutter speed 1/320s

Betancuria After the Rains
The recent rains in Fuerteventura have transformed the island. If you look at this location in Betancuria on Google Maps you’ll see a dusty field, and the street view shows mostly bare ground with bushes planted here and there. In the background is La Casa del Queso where we enjoyed some coffee and sandwiches. Locals…

Between the Palms and the Plane
Ironically, this was taken on the nicest day of a recent holiday in Fuerteventura. A cold wind from the north blew across the island for the previous week, keeping temperatures down and contributing to a couple of rain showers. The island benefited from it with wild flowers and grass growing on the hills and fields…

Vintage Caravan Life in Fuerteventura
Early one morning outside the salt museum in Fuerteventura as the sun shone on nearby homes and a caravan parked next to the 30kph speed limit sign. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 24mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/50s

Why Aren’t You Taking My Photo?
This is one of those brilliant street photography moments that you absolutely cannot plan or manufacture. I’m minding my own business photographing a mural in Castillo Caleta de Fuste in Fuerteventura when suddenly I hear this voice behind me ask, “Why aren’t you taking MY photo?” I turn around and there are these two absolutely…

Sunrise at Fuerteventura’s Salt Museum
The mounted fin whale skeleton is clearly visible in a photo of the museo de la sal (salt museum) in Fuerteventura. The museum was closed at this early hour and the area was roped off with stern warnings to buy tickets at the museum, but we still managed to get a few photos. The salt…

When Dawn Breaks in the Canaries
Sunrise at this time of year is rather easy as it’s at a reasonable time. Not too early, and not too late either. When the sky turns golden I pick up my camera! Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 94mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/200s

Light, Table, Window, Darkness
Sometimes the best photographs are the ones where you strip everything away and just let light do the talking. Simple. Aperture ƒ/3.5 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 24mm ISO 160 Shutter speed 1/100s

Bachelor’s Quay at Twilight
Blue hour is that magical window between sunset and full darkness when the sky becomes this gorgeous gradient from deep blue to warm orange. That’s what I saw on a cold December evening looking across the River Lee at Bachelor’s Quay. Aperture ƒ/4 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 24mm ISO 12800 Shutter speed 1/320s

Millennium Bridge After Dark
The Millennium Bridge in Cork doesn’t wobble like the Shakey Bridge but it probably sees a lot more foot traffic as it links Pope’s Quay and Kyrl’s Quay and Cornmarket Street. The bridge was built in 2004. I have some photos of that which I may dig up and link from here later. Aperture ƒ/2.8…
