We Went Bowling We went bowling today, and I took a few shots. So far nobody has attempted to kill me for shooting so many photos! An open air meeting of Automattic yesterday went superbly, although we’re all a little burned. Sitting in the afternoon sun in a park by the Golden Gate was worth…

Moynihan’s Poultry A long exposure shot in the English Market in the vicinity of one of the many chicken meat shops. The camera was set to f/8.0 and placed on top of a wall. In this semi-dark passage the exposure was 1/4 second blurring the passing people nicely but capturing the relatively motionless shop keepers.

Kay O’Connell Kay O’Connell’s is probably the biggest of the fishmongers in the English Market, Cork.

Luigi Malones A long exposure shot in Luigi Malones Restaurant in Cork catches some of the hectic activity during lunch hour.

The green and blue blur The Cobh train as it comes into the station at it’s destination. This is the second time I have featured the train.

Abandoned Train Station In Mogeely, East Cork, there’s an abandoned train station from I don’t know how long ago. According to Wikipedia, it’s unlikely that the station will be restored because there isn’t enough demand. The Cork-Midleton line will, however, open by 2008.While researching this post I found out that the nearby town of Killeagh…

Arrival of the L I love capturing motion and stillness in one frame and shooting underground in a subway station is perfect because: low light, fast moving train with bright internal lights, waiting passengers. I think I took this in one of the stations under State Street, Chicago. Have a great time at the blog…

Queen’s Old Castle After yesterday’s shot I decided to take a photo of the Virgin Megastore which now occupies the site of the old Queen’s Old Castle Shopping Center. Off to the left is the entrance to Argos. No misleading titles today! Shot was taken with the camera lying on the ground and I can…

Stop Go Where to Go? Rush-hour traffic in Cork is as bad as in any other city. I went the other way and took the back road to Blarney.

Road Narrows Taken in Monkstown, Co. Cork last night. Camera was handheld. I waited for a car to go past and with the camera set to AV mode and the flash on, I shot a 25 second exposure. I moved the camera from side to side to make the rear lights of the vehicle moreinteresting!…

Swans in darkness Swans pictured at The Lough last night.

Red Sky At Night Red sky after a beautiful sunset in Garrettstown last Sunday. The original high-res version is even better!
