The Old Bank House of Kinsale
The Old Bank House, or Old Bank Townhouse is a 5 star hotel, right at the busiest junction in Kinsale. I’ve walked past there loads of times, drove past there more times, but I never noticed the 5 star designation. The Google Maps reviews for this establishment are very positive, although it comes as no…
The Green Door
A colour coordinated door and wheelie bin in Kinsale caught my eye.
The Homes of Kinsale
If you’ve been to Kinsale you’ll be familiar with the centre of town but behind those businesses are the homes of local residents, stretching up towards the top of the hill. It’s a lovely town, full of history and of course great food, so well worth a visit. 🙂
Outstretched Wings
A crow lifts off from the pole he was standing on, with his wings spread out to glide down.
Flying over fields
Another one of a swallow flying near Ballycroneen Beach recently. You’ll recognise the field in the background from a recent photo!
Swallows fly fast!
Swallows fly really fast and they’re difficult to photograph in flight, so when I managed to catch this one in flight I had to share both. As I was advised by Rory, I didn’t zoom in which made it easier to catch them crossing the scene. On my Sony camera I set it to wide…
The Crow and the Swallow
A crow stands on top of a pole as a swallow flies past him. Those swallows are really hard to photograph, so I zoomed in on the top of the pole and just watched the pole, without looking through the camera. When I saw a swallow fly close, I hit the shutter button hoping burst…
Wind Blown Clouds
Looking up from the rocks in Ballycotton I spotted this house and magnificent clouds overhead. The wind was blowing hard up there high in the sky and the clouds moved visibly as I watched. It didn’t take me long to realise I needed to photograph it!
The Flag in the Window
A Ukrainian flag in a window in Ballycotton. It was getting dark, a perfect time to try some Intentional Camera Movement.
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…
