The fish points south
The top of Shandon Bells, the tower of St. Anne’s Church in Cork City as seen from Bell’s Field.

Along the Marina
Looking along the Marina in Blackrock on a quiet Friday afternoon. The trees have started to shed their leaves, but the recent rains must be helping. The heatwave in August has passed. I still see plenty of green. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 146mm ISO 2500 Shutter speed 1/160s

A fish out of water
A fish jumps out of the water of the River Lee by the Lee Fields in Cork a few weeks ago. Most of the fishermen gathered on the banks had no luck. The fish were after the little flies buzzing over the water! Aperture ƒ/6.3 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 240mm ISO 4000 Shutter speed 1/500s

Dodge and Burn using Lightroom Masks
It occurred to me while watching a video by Nick Page on Photoshop’s Luminosity masks that Lightroom Classic can now do something similar with luminance range masks.
