• St Kinga’s Chapel in the Salt Mine

    Buried deep underground in the Wieliczka Salt Mine is a huge man made chamber called St Kinga’s Chapel. It’s quite a sight to see after wandering down tunnel and after tunnel. You come across chambers on the way there, but this one is the special one, and it’s a consecrated Catholic Church where they hold religious ceremonies.

    It’s 101m underground, 11m high and has a floor space of 465 metres squared.

    Unfortunately, we didn’t have much time to spend there as the mine is really busy at this time of year with tourist groups coming in and out all the time!

  • Just dog walking

    Sometimes a photo is just what it appears, a walk enjoyed by human and dog alike, in Amsterdam earlier this year.

  • A face in the crowd on a dull day

    It was a chilly March afternoon in Cork. Some were wrapped up tight against the cold, while it didn’t bother others. Look out the window now and enjoy the heat of July!

  • Lightroom Classic doesn’t always adjust time correctly

    I can confirm that this bug still exists. If you change the capture time of a photo in Lightroom Classic it may not do it correctly. The time was wrong on my camera and I had to change 249 images this evening. As I went through them later, I noticed a few were out of order, when sorting by “capture time”.

    When the time is changed, there are three fields that need to be modified:

    • Date Time Original
    • Date Time Digitized
    • Date Time

    Most of the time all three are changed, but sometimes, only the first one is.

    Attempts to change the time failed again and again, so I changed the sort order to “Filename” which works just fine, but it’s annoying me that there are bunches of photos in today’s photos that have jumped through time.

    Anyone figured out how to fix this?

  • Daffodils in February

    A woman on a bike with daffodils in her hand talks to someone out of the frame. Another woman to the right also has the same flowers in her hand.

    It’s nice to receive a gift, and when they’re flowers on a February afternoon, all the better.

    She was standing in front of a mannequin, both dressed in dark clothes. Caught my eye.

  • The Ballycotton Cat

    I spotted this feline beauty in Ballycotton a few weeks ago. We’d been shooting the sea and the lighthouse but, of course, my favourite photo is of a cat.

  • The waterfall of light

    It was a very calm evening when we visited Mullinhassig last, and when I spotted the light coming through the leaves at the top of this photo I loved how it contrasted with the dark of the water below.
