Wish You Were Here
We stopped for a break in St. John’s Church Garden where I spotted an art installation mounted on a rotary clothes line. A bit eye-catching! Aperture ƒ/6.3 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 187mm ISO 500 Shutter speed 1/500s

Walking Into the Storm on the Dunes
A storm was rapidly approaching but the sun was still shining when I took this. Moments later the dark clouds in the background had blown over, leaving some of us drenched, and then it was bright and sunny again. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 139mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/1000s

This is Dunnes in 2008
The Dunnes Stores on St. Patrick’s Street, Cork was only a muddy construction site in March 2008. Only the distinctive yellow front of the building remained at this time. Aperture ƒ/9 Camera Canon EOS 20D Focal length 18mm ISO 200 Shutter speed 1/200s

The Wheels Go Around
I love when I spot something like this happening on the street. It happened near the London Eye where there’s a novelty photo booth shaped like a bus. Two kids were at the back, with one pointing at the wheels, and then they go and spin the wheels! Aperture ƒ/4 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 29mm…

Arms Wide, Knives Out
The audience at Covent Garden really appreciated this knife juggler. He’d just been throwing knifes in the air above the body of a willing volunteer. I’m not sure if I’d have volunteered! Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 63mm ISO 1600 Shutter speed 1/500s

A Sea of Heads and a Sky of Lanterns
This is what Chinatown in London looks like on a Saturday evening in July. A sea of tourists as far as the eye can see, which isn’t very far unless you’re tall. Aperture ƒ/4 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 24mm ISO 640 Shutter speed 1/500s

19:22 on a July Evening in Chinatown
Chinatown was our last destination in London last year, but I think from the photo it’s obvious where we were. Lanterns and the T-shirt this woman was wearing make that clear! Aperture ƒ/4 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 24mm ISO 1000 Shutter speed 1/500s

Silhouette at the Harbour Mouth
There’s a narrow window just after sunset when the sky goes absolutely wild, when the sun has dropped below the horizon but the light is still bouncing around in the atmosphere, and you get these incredible bands of colour stacking up from warm orange through pink into deep purple and navy. The navigation beacon at…
