The Starlight of Glow Cork
Street lighting shines like stars as Glow continues next to the River Lee in Cork.
The bright lights of London
The famous red double decker busses of London passed by as I took this photo of a building and advertising display back in 2008.
The Grand Parade Ferris Wheel
This year the ferris wheel is back on The Grand Parade, Cork for Christmas again!
An Garda
A member of An Garda Síochána directed traffic in Blarney last night when Santa visited and the lights were turned on in the village. This is a long exposure zoomed shot, of about one second duration with the flash firing at the end of the exposure. To replicate: Make sure you set your flash to…
Red Red Fruit
Red fruit from a tree in the grounds of Blarney Castle. I have no idea what tree they come from as the name plate on the trunk is far below the wall where I photographed them. I’ll update the post when I find out! I found out that they’re called “Cornus kousa” thanks to Adam…

Lunch on St. Patrick Street

Light Trails on MacCurtain Street
Ghostly light from passing cars hangs in the air on the corner of MacCurtain Street and Bridge Street in Cork City, Ireland. This is the second of three light trails or light streaks photos I’ll post here in an unintentional series of long exposure photos. The first was my Light Trails in Blarney photo published…
Light Trails in Blarney
The red lights of a passing car streak across this photo taken in front of Christy’s in Blarney over the weekend. The photo was a long exposure of 8 seconds, at f/4, ISO 100. I was shooting in manual mode and made sure the scene was under exposed by at least a stop. As f/4…
Wanna Go Home
Loud music, lots of strangers, a concrete jungle. I think this dog wants to go running in the fields. Pictured on Sunday afternoon, Paul Street, Cork.
