Emma Lou in Ballycotton
Some of the boats in Ballycotton a few weeks ago when Blarney Photography Club visited.

The Crow and the Swallow
A crow stands on top of a pole as a swallow flies past him. Those swallows are really hard to photograph, so I zoomed in on the top of the pole and just watched the pole, without looking through the camera. When I saw a swallow fly close, I hit the shutter button hoping burst…

A break from the guitar
A man takes a break from playing the guitar on Winthrop Street, Cork. It was July 2019, so probably warm and maybe humid, so his bare feet won’t have been cold. Aperture ƒ/4 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 16mm ISO 400 Shutter speed 1/500s

Chatting to the bus driver
I was walking along the street and noticed this man, standing by the door of a bus. I think it was stopped at traffic lights. Did you notice he’s being watched by another bus driver? Aperture ƒ/4 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 35mm ISO 640 Shutter speed 1/500s

Horse is a picky eater
Down by Garrettstown Beach in Co Cork I spotted a horse in a field. He was by himself and I went over to say hi, and take his photo. He’s obviously had enough of people taking his photo, or maybe he ate something unpleasant, to judge by the look on his face. 🙂 Aperture ƒ/2.2…

Wind Blown Clouds
Looking up from the rocks in Ballycotton I spotted this house and magnificent clouds overhead. The wind was blowing hard up there high in the sky and the clouds moved visibly as I watched. It didn’t take me long to realise I needed to photograph it! Aperture ƒ/13 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 41mm ISO 50…

The boats of Ballycotton
During another trip with Blarney Photography Club to Ballycotton we were lucky to have a very calm evening. A light breeze disturbed the water, and there were clouds in the sky to make for an interesting sunset. Aperture ƒ/9 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 24mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/1000s

Shadows and Sun
We were walking out towards Hussey’s Folly outside Dingle when I looked across Dingle Harbour and saw the sunlight travel across the opposite headland as clouds moved away. I love seeing light and shadow on a landscape so I grabbed a few quick shots. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera ILCE-7M3 Focal length 79mm ISO 100 Shutter speed…
