A Wine Strand Sunset
The road to the end of the headland by Wine Strand in Co. Kerry curves off into the distance. Parked vehicles are parked there as people enjoy the evening.
Off the horse
A young rider came off his horse during a race at the Dingle Races last August. His horse continued on, but the unlucky rider had to get out of the way of other horses.
The winds blows softly
On a lovely evening in August last year I was walking along a beach with my wife. The sun was getting low in the sky casting a faintly yellow glow over the world. This long exposure shot captures the movement of cloud, and the wind blown grass. Even though there wasn’t much wind, it’s all…
The Horse in the box
On the day before the Dingle Races I saw a horse looking out of a horse box. His owner had gone into the nearby petrol station and came back a few minutes later.
A day at the races
A man sitting on a box at the Dingle races in 2022. The weather was lovely, it was a great day to be out!
Rushing to buy fuel
August 2022 when fuel prices in Ireland were sky high, and they’re likely to go in that direction again. In that month, a litre of petrol or diesel was €2.059. The price per litre has since dropped to €1.618, or at least it was at the end of April when I purchased petrol last. Anyway,…
The Valentia River Viaduct
The now unused viaduct over the Valentia River in Co Kerry caught my eye away back in 2019.
Capturing Sunrise in Killarney
In the middle of February I joined members of Blarney Photography Club for a sunrise photoshoot over the Lakes of Killarney. The scenery was stunning, with early morning light casting a warm orange hue over the still waters of the lake and misty mountains in the distance. We were over by Brickeen Bridge, a good…
The Tree in Muckross Abbey
When you visit Muckross Abbey in Killarney, one thing that immediately catches your eye is the magnificent tree that grows right in the middle of the building. The tree is so large that it almost looks like it’s part of the abbey, as if the building had grown around it over time. Taking a photo…
Invisible Motion on the Lake
I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Lakes of Killarney with Blarney Photography Club and snapped this long exposure photo near Ross Castle. The scene was magical, with the reeds gently swaying in the breeze and the bare trees looking like skeletons on guard. It was an otherworldly experience, and I couldn’t wait to…
Abstract Forest in Motion
While out with Blarney Photography Club in Killarney National Park recently, we came across a small forest of slender tree trunks stretching up towards the sky like spindly fingers. The light was just perfect for some intentional camera movement, so we decided to experiment with a vertical ICM technique. I set my camera to a…
Horse and Cart in Motion
As I was strolling through the serene beauty of Killarney National Park, a horse and cart leisurely passed by. I couldn’t resist capturing this moment, and so I snapped a photo of the horse and cart using a slightly longer shutter time. I love the resulting image. The soft light filtering through the leaves and…
