  • Streaks of Sunset Light

    Streaks of colour in a sunset photo made by moving the camera left to right. The colours go from a dark smudgy grey and blue to vibrant orange.

    You may have seen the stunning sunset photo from Crosshaven that I shared yesterday. Well, here’s another shot of it for you.

    This one doesn’t look like a typical sunset, does it? Except for the warm orange glow. That’s because I used a technique called Intentional Camera Movement, or ICM for short. It involves zooming in on the boats in the water and moving the camera from side to side while taking the shot. The boats are the dark part of the photo, while the reflected sunlight in the water provided the rich orange streaks.

    The result is a beautiful abstract image with streaks of colour and light. Next time I’m shooting a sunset over water, I’ll be trying this again!

  • Sunset in Crosshaven

    Boats on the water and in the background a forest with some houses and a lovely orange sunset too.

    The sun sets over Curraghbinny Wood as I watched from the Crosshaven side. There was the most amazing glow in the sky that lasted several minutes, a nice end to a glorious day.

  • In the future we won’t talk at all

    People ordering food in McDonalds using their kiosks. Four people are at the machines, mostly dressed for the night in dark clothes and coats while one young woman is dressed as if it wasn't cold and wet outside.

    We just tap tap tap on the screens to order. The man watching me take the photo never said a word either.

    It was Halloween, did you notice the horns on her head?

  • Place your bets at the races

    Before the races start at the Point to Point, the bookies are quiet. Signs and umbrellas and a few people.

    I’ve only been to a few point to point or other horse races, but you can rely on there being bookies present to take your money.

  • The Horse in the box

    A horse in a horsebox looks out at me from across the road.

    On the day before the Dingle Races I saw a horse looking out of a horse box. His owner had gone into the nearby petrol station and came back a few minutes later.

  • Global Warning

    A man on the street with a large sign warning "Global Warning". A woman carrying a shopping bag is listening patiently.

    I’m not quite sure what to say about this man and his “Global War n ing” sign. I’ve talked to him a few times as he’s stood at the same spot most Saturdays for the last few years. All I know, is he’s a crack pot conspiracy theorist.

  • Construction of the Camden Quay Hotel

    Construction work on a building site in Cork City. A tall yellow crane is visible under a sky half full of clouds. Tiny figures of men can be seen on the building site working on laying down steel supports.

    The old site of the hotel on Camden Quay is being redeveloped. It’s gone through many phases over the years, and it’s soon to be a 3 star hotel.
