It’s very difficult to stop waves. You’ll need a fast shutter speed. If you don’t have a fast lens then stopping down a notch or third, or increasing the ISO will help too.
This image was originally quite bland with washed out waves and dark rocks but a little dodging and burning with a soft layer worked wonders!
This was taken in Dunworley, Co. Cork yesterday.

This weekend (today is a bank holiday) is the Cork Jazz Festival. People from all over the world come to Cork to participate – to play, to listen, or just get drunk and enjoy the festivities!
If you have a camera, run a photoblog or you’re in town, there will be a meet up tomorrow in Cork!
Everyone will gather in front of the Clarion Hotel at 2pm tomorrow where we’ll plan our photographic assault on the city!
It’s also the Jazz Weekend here in Cork so there’ll be plenty of interesting subjects to shoot!
For more info, and a map, look at this Upcoming.org page, or Ryan’s Blog!
See you there!

Shot this one by holding a magnifying glass up above a bar of Fry’s Chocolate. I will be enjoying said bar of chocolate at lunch. Yum.

We were going to have lunch in the upper-level restaurant but it was jammed tight with people already. There were queues of people 5 or 6 deep waiting on tables or a high stool. It might be worth waiting sometime and spending an hour eating and snapping shots..
This is 4 horizontal shots stitched together I think.
