    At the Automattic Grand Meetup in 2018 the company hired out The Wizarding World of Harry Potter which was an amazing evening. Lots of over priced merchandise but also a fire breathing dragon and these fabulous entertainers!

  • Shadows on Nano Nagle Bridge

    Shadows on Nano Nagle Bridge

    Shadows lengthen on Nano Nagle Bridge this afternoon. First time out with Rebel Street Photography, even if it was just two of us after a two year break.

    It was a lovely day for a walk around town. The sun shone from a blue sky, but in the shadows it was still cool. Catching up with a friend after two years was a very pleasant way to spend an afternoon.

    Parallel to Sullivan’s Quay in Cork, Cove Street is probably less well known than the quays but if you’ve driven around there looking for parking you know it well!

  • Derelict Crosshaven

    Derelict Crosshaven

    Crosshaven is such a lovely town. I love to visit there, walking along the water front. The sounds of the wind blowing through the boat yard and the clinking of ropes and tackle hitting off masts is ever present. From a distance the town is picturesque, with the spire of the church towering over everything.

    Unfortunately, even here you’ll find signs of derelict Ireland. I walked up the hill by the chipper and looking over the town is a small dilapidated cottage that has seen better days. This photo was taken about a year ago. Has anything been done about it since?

    Flash Harry in 2021

    A few more photos of Flash Harry from their September 2021 performance in the Opera House, Cork. They played there recently but I didn’t get to see them. They are a great Queen tribute band however. Go see them if you can!

    Posting these because I wanted to test out Topaz Denoise on some high ISO noisy images. It did a fabulous job cleaning them up!

    Mike Gray posted some great photos of musicians performing on his Twitter account, and he said he used DXO PureRAW. I was going to try the free trial of that but since I already had Denoise I wanted to give that a proper go at these images. Very happy with it too.

    Catching the sun at the beach

    A boy catches the sun at the beach with his fishing rod. It was all he caught that evening, but I think he made some happy memories.
