A young rider came off his horse during a race at the Dingle Races last August. His horse continued on, but the unlucky rider had to get out of the way of other horses.

The sun set on an absolutely clear sky on Thursday night in Youghal. I was there with Blarney Photography Club, and as you may have guessed from the photo, I was wearing wellies.
We had fun photographing the outgoing tide, and when the sun eventually slid towards the horizon the reflected colour in the sea got that bit more yellower and warmer. The groynes (or groins, depending on where you come from) make for a great subject.

Diego in his blanket after waking up from a sleep. This is an old photo of him from 2017, but I’m posting it today because he’s at the vet’s office after getting an x-ray.
He hasn’t been himself for some time and let out loud yelps from time to time but he was diagnosed with Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) by the vet this afternoon.
It’s the very early stages of the disease and with lots of care we can treat him. No jumping off sofas, beds, or chairs. No walks even. We have to wrap him in cotton wool for the next six weeks.
He’ll get better.

A woman stands next to a display of flowers for sale in Dublin last October.
I played with the colours here a little. A bit of fun on an image that was too noisy, and too dark.

I walked out my front door last night and spotted a fiery sunset behind the houses across the road. The colour slowly changed over the next ten minutes as the sun sunk further and further beyond the horizon.
I took 151 photos of the sky that night, most of them taken with me waggling my camera back and forth to capture some sweet ICM.
This was shot at f/13 so there were plenty of dust spots to heal. Luckily you can copy heals from one photo to another and if they’re the AI kind, Lightroom Classic will calculate the best way to heal each time.

On a lovely evening in August last year I was walking along a beach with my wife. The sun was getting low in the sky casting a faintly yellow glow over the world.
This long exposure shot captures the movement of cloud, and the wind blown grass. Even though there wasn’t much wind, it’s all relative when the photo is 13 seconds long.
Psst. Don’t tell anyone, but there’s a really nice beach around the corner from Wine Strand!
