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.
Bokeh Lights in Youghal
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…
Cork Eir Building 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…
Construction in the Port of Cork
The Port of Cork sign looms overhead. I’m not sure what work is being done down there with all the construction equipment.
Someone forgot their tripod
Henry’s tripod made for a nice subject to break up the reflection of the sunset at the beach in Youghal.
Sunset on the Youghal Boardwalk
Just after the sun set over Youghal last Thursday night and someone noticed people walking on the boardwalk.
Sun setting on the Youghal groynes

We had fun photographing the outgoing tide, and when the sun eventually slid towards the horizon the reflected colour in the sea…
The yellow glow of sunset
I walked out my front door last night and spotted a fiery sunset behind the houses across the road. The colour slowly changed over the next ten minutes as the sun sunk further and further beyond the horizon. I took 151 photos of the sky that night, most of them taken with me waggling my…
Fifty Shades of Mountain
Mountains on the German/Austria border stretch off in the distance as the Alps cut through this region of Europe.
Streaks of Sunset Light
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…
Sunset in Crosshaven
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.
The Ice Cream Line
Parents line up for the ice cream van outside Fitzgerald’s Park in Cork. Their kids are somewhere nearby, out of sight behind the wall.
