The Cork Pride Flag
One of the (many) highlights of the Cork Pride parade is the massive rainbow flag that accompanies the marchers through the city. It was unfurled on Grand Parade where a jubilant crowd carried it and waved it in preparation for the trip around the city. I noticed a bump in the middle, and saw the…

St Kinga’s Chapel in the Salt Mine
Buried deep underground in the Wieliczka Salt Mine is a huge man made chamber called St Kinga’s Chapel. It’s quite a sight to see after wandering down tunnel and after tunnel. You come across chambers on the way there, but this one is the special one, and it’s a consecrated Catholic Church where they hold…

Just dog walking
Sometimes a photo is just what it appears, a walk enjoyed by human and dog alike, in Amsterdam earlier this year.

A face in the crowd on a dull day
It was a chilly March afternoon in Cork. Some were wrapped up tight against the cold, while it didn’t bother others. Look out the window now and enjoy the heat of July!

Lightroom Classic doesn’t always adjust time correctly
I can confirm that this bug still exists. If you change the capture time of a photo in Lightroom Classic it may not do it correctly. The time was wrong on my camera and I had to change 249 images this evening. As I went through them later, I noticed a few were out of…
