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.

Sun setting on the Youghal groynes

Diego in his blanket

The Eye Sees All

This graffiti caught my eye when I walked past. It was on the corner of Barrack Street and Fort Street in Cork. The eye sees you and the man screams at you. It’s long gone now, this photo was made in 2019!

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…

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.
