Glowing Colour

The Ferris Wheel in Cork all lit up at night.

The Stars of Cork are Glowing

Coburg Street Lights

The lights of Coburg Street and passing cars in a long exposure shot of the street from the traffic lights at the junction with Bridge Street. This was a 15 second exposure at f/22. The lovely star shape of the street lights is because the opening in the lens was so small (at f/22) and…
