Sunrise on a Cloudy Day
The heatwave has broken today, but it’s still quite warm at 18C, but the rain is back. It’s like it never left! The threatened thunderstorms never materialised in Blarney but the sky is cloudy and produced a lovely sunrise this morning around 7am. The sun rising behind the hills east of Blarney lit up the…

Revolving chess board
The squares of a chessboard become a blur as the camera is flung sideways as the shutter opens. It’s the chessboard in Crosshaven, not that you’d recognise it from the photo! Aperture ƒ/9 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 24mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1.3s

Laurel & Hardy Visit Cobh
Laurel & Hardy visited Cobh in Co. Cork today, exactly 70 years after they last visited in 1953! The two gentlemen are looking exceedingly well for their age, I’m sure you’ll agree. They put on a fine show, doing several sketches and singing a few favourites and doing a dance. Lucky Dog Theatre Productions were…

One escape from a darkened room
The lights are out, the windows are barred. A plant seeks the light close to the window. There’s an exit, an emergency exit. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 75mm ISO 1600 Shutter speed 1/500s

That after sun glow
I went to the reservoir in Inniscarra yesterday evening to capture the sunset. It had been a glorious day and I saw there would be a smattering of cloud at sunset, which might make for a dramatic picture. As it happened, there was cloud, but it was mostly at the horizon in a thick, impenetrable…
