Vineyard Vistas in Portugal
Amidst the stunning scenery of Portugal’s Douro Valley, we found ourselves at Quinta da Roêda, a picturesque vineyard nestled under a breathtaking blue sky. As far as the eye could see, the vines stretched out into the distance, beckoning us to explore further. A solitary tree stood tall nearby, while on the horizon, two tall,…

Framing the Cathedral and the Church
In the midst of a mellow July evening, I met with members of Blarney Photography Club at Bell’s Field, a blissful backdrop boasting breathtaking views of the north side of Cork City. From my lens, I looked upon The Cathedral of St Mary & St Anne, majestically standing on Cathedral Road, and The Church of…

Exhausted on Snowy Slopes
We had trudged up and down rugged hills, wearing snow shoes, until we finally came to a stop, feeling sore and utterly exhausted. The sun blazed down on us as we stood at 1500m on a crisp, clear day. Ahead of us loomed another hill, descending a valley and then ascending at a steep incline.…

A Florida Dragonfly
Behind the town of Seaside in Florida lies a lake which no doubt contributes to the humidity during the day there. Early one morning I photographed this dragonfly resting on the fence on a small pier on the lake. The air was still cool, so the dragonfly was probably still sluggish until the day warmed…

Capturing Seaside’s Sunrise Splendor
In Seaside, Florida, a photowalk in September is best enjoyed in the early morning to avoid the oppressive humidity and heat that sets in later in the day. But the silver lining is that this early start allows us to witness the breathtaking sunrise over the Gulf of Mexico, casting a golden glow on the…

Howya Derelict Cork!
A building on the corner of Sheare Street and Moore Street in Cork appears to be derelict for a number of years. If you take a look at the location on Google Maps you can go back through the years. In 2014 it appears someone broke the right hand window as it is covered by…

Descending through the Clouds
We stood atop the towering mountain, surrounded by billowing clouds, preparing to leave. As I gazed downwards, my eyes traced the steep slope all the way to the tranquil blue waters of the lake below. Tiny houses and buildings speckled the landscape, and a winding road traced the shoreline. Having just dined at Berggasthaus Herzogstand,…

Prepping the Wing
One of the days during a team meetup in Germany recently was spent hiking across a mountain, up and down steep snow-covered hills. On the way, we passed by what is evidentially the launch site for people paragliding. They would fling themselves off this slope and soar for I don’t know how long, catching thermals…

The Dog’s Nose Knows
A dog pokes his nose out of a caravan in Santa Cruz. I think he wanted to come play with us as we walked past. Aperture ƒ/8 Camera Canon EOS 6D Focal length 96mm ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/400s

Dawn at the Bar & Grill
As the sun slowly rose over Santa Cruz, I found myself drawn to a quaint restaurant nestled along the beach front. The golden morning rays cast a mesmerizing shadow of a street lamp on the building, while inside, a diligent worker was already busy prepping for the day ahead. Aperture ƒ/4 Camera Canon EOS 6D…

The Truman House
A sign outside a home in Seaside, Florida, tells the curious passer-by, “The Truman House”. It was used as the home where Truman Burbank lived in the film, The Truman Show. The house itself sits at 31 Natchez Street in Seaside. I didn’t see anyone about, but then again I walked past at around 8am…
