Suspicious eyes watch us through a fence in the grounds of Blarney Castle about a month ago. PS. No watermark. Photo is CC anyway.

When you just have to eat that sandwich.

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…

Ghostly light from passing cars hangs in the air on the corner of MacCurtain Street and Bridge Street in Cork City, Ireland. This is the second of three light trails or light streaks photos I’ll post here in an unintentional series of long exposure photos. The first was my Light Trails in Blarney photo published…

The red lights of a passing car streak across this photo taken in front of Christy’s in Blarney over the weekend. The photo was a long exposure of 8 seconds, at f/4, ISO 100. I was shooting in manual mode and made sure the scene was under exposed by at least a stop. As f/4…

Loud music, lots of strangers, a concrete jungle. I think this dog wants to go running in the fields. Pictured on Sunday afternoon, Paul Street, Cork.

The 96FM Fugitive is a character listeners of Cork radio station 96FM watch out for as DJs on the radio station give out clues as to his whereabouts. Find him and you’ll win a cash prize! A few weeks ago they told people he was in Blarney and I was asked at least three times…

The beautiful smiling woman in the background is on a poster covering one of the front windows of the old Moderne premises on St Patrick’s Street, Cork. While out with Blarney Photography Club we stopped to make some photos of this striking yellow background with passers by in front. There were five of us there…

A new book featuring pictures of Cork was published recently, Cork in the 1960s. The front cover is a photo of two women pushing a buggy and a pram on St. Patrick’s Street. I was on that street today and when I saw the book in the window of Waterstones I had to make this…

Beautiful roses at the entrance to Blarney Castle in Co Cork, Ireland.

This couple were engrossed in conversation walking across the busy junction of Washington Street and The Grand Parade without waiting for the lights. A moment later the man looked towards traffic and put his hand out to stop a car that was heading towards them! Unbelievable. Day 5 of ?#?FiveDayBlackAndWhiteChallenge?. Since I was tagged 3…

One of the cows in a field on the grounds of Blarney Castle, Co Cork, Ireland. I’m not entirely happy with the cow in the background on the right but, meh. I love the texture of the cow’s hair on it’s face. Day 4 of #FiveDayBlackAndWhiteChallenge?. Plenty more images to come!
