• Construction Cranes on Horgan’s Quay

    Construction Cranes were on site among the new buildings of Horgan's Quay in Cork. The River Lee is flowing in the foreground, crossed by Brian Boru Bridge nearby.

    Back in 2019, and Horgan’s Quay was in the middle of development. Cranes were overhead, and the whole place was a building site.

  • The boats of Ballycotton

    During another trip with Blarney Photography Club to Ballycotton we were lucky to have a very calm evening. A light breeze disturbed the water, and there were clouds in the sky to make for an interesting sunset.

  • Shadows and Sun

    The sun shines on the headland opposite Dingle in Co Kerry. Clouds cast a shadow over the fields on a glorious sunny day. The water of Dingle Bay is visible in the foreground.

    We were walking out towards Hussey’s Folly outside Dingle when I looked across Dingle Harbour and saw the sunlight travel across the opposite headland as clouds moved away.

    I love seeing light and shadow on a landscape so I grabbed a few quick shots.

  • The Boats of Glandore Harbour

    Glandore harbour in the summer of 2019. Mist rolled off the sea on this day but had mostly faded away by the time I got there. However, you can see it in the distance, clinging to the land in the distance.

    The out of focus lights of Youghal light up the sky. The red light of a passing vehicle lights up the corner of the scene.

    I was originally going to photograph the light and get a long exposure shot of passing traffic but luckily, my lens was out of focus and reminded me I could shoot a photo like this!

  • Cork Eir Building at Sunset

    The Eir building on the North Side of Cork City at sunset

    I was out with Blarney Photography Club on Thursday night in the city. The sun was setting when I decided we should head to Bell’s Field. I thought we had about 30 minutes, but with the hills opposite, the sun sank out of sight much earlier.

    Driving up there, through St. Luke’s, we got there just to see the sun disappear behind a bank of cloud on the horizon. Luckily, the glow of our celestial star continued for some time, and this is one of the photos from that night.

    Not a great shot by any means, but it was nice to be out with everyone else, and we had a nice chat and drink afterwards.
