Waiting for the Light
Nothing sorts the casual photographers from the committed ones quite like an early morning alarm on a Kerry beach in March. This lot from Blarney Photography Club were out on Cappagh Strand before first light, tripods planted in the wet sand, hoods up, waiting for whatever the sky decided to offer. The long exposure in…

One More Photo
I can just imagine the conversation here, “Just one more photo and then we’re done!” What I like about this moment is that it’s completely unselfconscious. They’re in their own world while the crowd flows around them. There’s a nice irony in being a street photographer photographing someone photographing someone else, a little Russian doll…

Low Cloud Over Dingle
Low clouds lay over Dingle town on Friday evening but while it wasn’t the most exciting light, it had a lovely even light without deep shadows. It was a quiet evening with only a few people out walking their dogs and even a couple of tourists! Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 100mm ISO 100…

The Umbrella Photographer
Sunday’s storm on the Dingle Peninsula was the kind that turns sensible people around at the car park, but photographers are rarely sensible. I was down at Clogher Strand when the rain properly opened up. My friend and I both grabbed umbrellas trying to keep the gear dry while still getting the shot. The blue…

1864 Meets 2026: Old Iron, New Glass
Look up and notice that 160 years of history are stacked vertically in the same sightline in London. At the bottom of the frame is the ornate ironwork crest of the London, Chatham and Dover Railway, dated 1864, sitting on its stone parapet like it’s been there forever (because it basically has). And rising directly…

Tiny People in a Giant City
This is what I love about shooting London with a telephoto lens. You compress the layers of the city together and suddenly the relationship between people and architecture becomes absurd. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 87mm ISO 125 Shutter speed 1/500s

Cool and Curly: Two Strangers on the South Bank
Just after we walked across Millenium Bridge in London I came across these two people watching something behind me. I think it may have been two women who had a couple of dogs with them. An interesting pair. I couldn’t resist making a candid photo of the moment. Aperture ƒ/4 Camera ILCE-7RM5 Focal length 24mm…

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
