Helios in the Cathedral
Some more photos of Helios in St Fin Barre’s Cathedral earlier this month when I visited there with members of Blarney Photography Club. Apart from the photographing the art installation, it was nice to walk around the Cathedral and see it.
Steel Wool Spinning at Night
Spinning flaming steel wool around creates fiery trails in the air. Thanks Henry, for this photo I took in 2015!
Chromatic Whirl
A few photos taken in Crosshaven in May 2023 when I visited there with Blarney Photography Club. A bit of fun with swirling the camera around as I took the photos.
Nostalgic Lights and Classic Bytes
It was quite amazing what you could get into 64KB of memory on an 8-bit computer. The Commodore 64 is a really remarkable machine, a favourite of mine, and my first introduction to “proper” programming using assembly language to get the most out of it. It’s not dead yet, either. There’s a vibrant community of…
Mirror of the Sky
The sea became a mirror of the sky near Ballycotton last year when Blarney Photography Club visited.
Blarney Castle at sunset
Blarney Castle can be seen above the trees of the surrounding area as the sun set last Thursday evening. Blarney Photography Club took the opportunity of a lovely evening to walk around the village and nearby to photograph the area. This photo is, of course, taken from Ring Wood, off Station Road. Did you know…
The Ballycotton Cat

The waterfall of light
It was a very calm evening when we visited Mullinhassig last, and when I spotted the light coming through the leaves at the top of this photo I loved how it contrasted with the dark of the water below.
Water flows into water
The Mullinhassig waterfall flows in a long exposure shot, on a recent visit there with Blarney Photography Club.
Hang on in there
Far above the waterfall at Mullinhassig, I found small shoots and leaves growing out of a tree trunk.
The Rocks of Ballycotton
The rocks of Ballycotton with the sea breaking on them reduced to a fog by a long exposure photo. Ballycotton Lighthouse is visible in the background on an island a few hundred metres offshore. I was there last night with Blarney Photography Club. A lovely evening taking photos and then a bit of a chat…
Carrigdrohid on the Lee
The castle at Carrigdrohid, as seen from across the river from my previous photo of the castle a few days ago. I was almost in the river taking this shot, following in the steps of Mark Gorman who waded in further and made a superb shot of the castle.
