The Llafranc Cat
When I was collecting the keys to our apartment near Llafranc in Spain a few years ago, I was being carefully watched by a feline guard. No doubt waiting for treats. Aperture ƒ/2.4 Camera SM-G998B Focal length 9mm ISO 50 Shutter speed 1/440s

Horses on Sherkin Island
We were visiting Sherkin Island in 2015 when I saw a rider pulling another horse along with him. This was on Cow Strand, but I’d seen him riding on Silver Strand earlier in the day. A lovely, warm, August day just before school was about to start again. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera Canon EOS 6D Focal…

A Stag and his hinds
I visited the National Park in Killarney, Co Kerry, today to photograph the deer with other members of Blarney Photography Club, and a few friends. There weren’t many stags or deer to be seen, apart from in a field up a hill beyond the Castlerosse Park Resort golf course. We found this stag near the…

The movement of sunset

The Deer of the Rut
A few photos of the deer in Killarney National Park a year ago when I visited there with Blarney Photography Club. These have been sitting in my “Unpublished” collection since then, so I might as well make them public. Aperture ƒ/6.3 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 600mm ISO 3200 Shutter speed 1/1000s

For a crust
A European Starling plays with a crust of toast in Dún Laoghaire a few weeks ago. This one might even be the same bird I photographed recently, but the local café was open again and so there was food on the menu for the birds. 🙂 Aperture ƒ/6.3 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 240mm ISO 200…

Brian May in the Spotlight
Queen + Adam Lambert played in the O2 in London as part of their 2022 Rhapsody Tour, and I was there in the middle of June. I love Queen’s music. I wanted to go see them for a long time but left it late to book tickets for one of their London shows. The only…

I had the pleasure of attending the launch of Joe Healy’s book, Cork In Decades Past, this evening, and what an event it was! Although the official launch came a bit late, as the book has already sold out, but about twenty copies were available on the night. They were all gone by the end…
