Masts and Mirrors
I visited Kinsale recently with Blarney Photography Club. Many photos were taken all around the town, but I went down the quay to start with the boats mooored nearby. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 46mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 2s

Holding Hands
Two hands intertwined, fingers gently clasped together as a couple watches the festivities unfold around them. The simple act of holding hands in public, something many take for granted, becomes a quiet celebration of love and belonging at Cork Pride.

Youghal’s Charming Beach Huts

Cork Before The Elysian
Remember Cork before The Elysian was built? It’s almost 20 years old now, so there are many people around who never saw Cork City Hall like this, without the tower block behind it. Cork City Hall, completed in 1936, was built to replace the previous City Hall that was destroyed during the Burning of Cork…

I love dogs, so when I see one in town I always try to get a photo. Aperture ƒ/2.2 Camera SM-G998B Focal length 2.2mm ISO 50 Shutter speed 1/580s
