The curves of the Sacré-Cœur
The curves and textures of the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre in Paris are evident in this close up photo of the roof. I love how the curves flow, and the patterns repeat. Aperture ƒ/4.9 Camera Galaxy S23 Ultra Focal length 27.2mm ISO 50 Shutter speed 1/540s

Light shines vertically
In Sandycove Store & Yard a few weeks ago and it was a beautiful afternoon. The sun shone through the open roof, making it a lovely place to stop for a coffee and treat. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 92mm ISO 160 Shutter speed 1/200s

Sunset on the M8
On the way back to Cork last night, I left the M8 on an exit near Cashel to stop for a few minutes. We parked by a field and I spotted this tree so, with a beautiful sunset showing the last of its colours, I got a few photos. Aperture ƒ/6.3 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length…

Life Saving Devices at the Beach
A life buoy at the beach in Youghal. It was a fairly breezy day, just after the triathlon. Aperture ƒ/4 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 24mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/1000s

The boats of Dún Laoghaire
It was very windy on this day when I walked out the pier. Boats rocked back and forth but the sun was shining and it was a lovely day. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 112mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/400s

Sunset over Ring Wood
The Ring Wood in Blarney last night just after the sun set behind me and there was a lovely glow at the horizon. In the next few years, houses will be built in that field, possibly obscuring this view from across the valley. Aperture ƒ/4.9 Camera Galaxy S23 Ultra Focal length 27.2mm ISO 64 Shutter…

Storm Clouds near Sandycove
As I walked to the Forty Foot a few days ago, I saw an ominous, dark cloud out at sea. Knowing that it would guarantee it wouldn’t rain, I got my umbrella from the car. It didn’t rain. Aperture ƒ/6.3 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 103mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/640s

Doggy had their hair done
It’s lovely to see well cared for dogs. Shih tzus need so much grooming or their fur gets in their eyes, but this one had a nice bow, and happily walked along a street in Madrid. Aperture ƒ/4 Camera Canon EOS 6D Focal length 24mm ISO 800 Shutter speed 1/320s

Whistling on a bullet
A man blows over the top of a bullet casing at a military show in the old Cork Gaol in 2013. It’s an odd feeling to post this photo. I’ve had it in my “todo” album for more than a decade and apparently never posted it before. Once it’s published I won’t see it so…

The trees and the statue
Near the Forty Foot in Dún Laoghaire is a statue with religious carvings on it. For once, Google Maps wasn’t too helpful about what the statue was called. Hopefully, someone from the area will see this and let me know what it’s called. Edit: Thanks Oisin, the statue is called Stele. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7RM5…

A model of Plac Matejki
A tiny model of Plac Matejki sits at one end of this elegant street in Krakow. In the distance is St. Florian’s Church. Taking a photo of the model is difficult enough, and of course, I didn’t have a macro lens, but I was happy with how it came out. In the centre sits the…

Light Streaks at Whistler
Streaks of light followed a bus as it drove past me early one morning in Whistler, Canada. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera Canon EOS 6D Focal length 28mm ISO 160 Shutter speed 20s
