Growing Up by the Sea in Cork
It was a lovely evening in Ballycotton last Thursday, and a group of teenagers were making the most of it, jumping off the pier into the water and enjoying life. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 240mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/800s

Purple Skies Over Ballycotton
I was in Ballycotton last night on an outing with Blarney Photography Club. Our summer outings are a highlight of the year and always a nice social event for all involved. When we got there, it was a nice evening, and I hoped there would be a nice sunset, and there was, but after the…

A boat disturbs the water
As you may have seen over the last few days I was taking photos of the boats moored in Kinsale Harbour. Until another boat came along and sped past, disturbing the scene and rocking everything about.

Stop and Look Up
If you look up, you might see something towering overhead. Gleaming glass towers stretching up until they seem to pierce the clouds themselves. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 24mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/5000s

A Storm Brewing
Cows waiting to be milked in a field near the Coachford Greenway. It’s a lovely walk along the River Lee, opposite Farran Woods. I had an umbrella, and it was a good thing too, as it started raining about ten minutes later. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 240mm ISO 250 Shutter speed 1/500s

Cape Clear’s Car Graveyard
What happens to old cars is one of the harsh realities of island life that doesn’t make it into the tourist brochures.
