Playing With Fire
Burning steel wool reflects in the still waters, tracing arcs of fire through the air.
Long Exposure at Ireland’s Edge
The sea retreats in its forever battle with the sand. Clogher Strand in late December. The day was cold but we had fun.
Sullivan’s Quay After Dark
I’ve photographed Sullivan’s Quay plenty of times but this was a little experiment shooting in highlight-priority mode. I brightened it up later but I like the way it came out and love the yellow reflected light on the River Lee. Here’s Sullivan’s Quay at sunset many years ago from much the same view point!
Where Time Slows Down
Water becomes mist at Couminole/Coumeenole Beach on the Dingle Peninsula in Co Kerry.
Fast Food, Slow Shutter
The Burger King sign on St Patrick Street shines while Christmas lights move about the frame. A touch of ICM on a cold December evening.
When the City Blurs By
Panning photos is a nice way to burn through some photos and sometimes a photo or two will look half decent. It’s very hit-and-miss.

Silk and Stone at Couminole
Waves crash on the rocks at Couminole, Co Kerry but are made misty by a long exposure photo.
The Steel Wool Spirals

Nollaig Shona Duit
“Nollaig Shona Duit” through the years, from 2022, 2024 and 2025. From one end of St. Patrick Street to the other.
December Light at Youghal
I love taking photos on the beach at Youghal, especially at sunset. This is from a few days ago when the sun was really low in the sky, and it was shining directly along the beach, rather than from behind the beach as it is during the summer! Youghal (pronounced “Yawl”) has one of the…
Spinning Light on Grand Parade
The Big Wheel or Ferris wheel, is back in the Grand Parade in Cork, but these photos are from December 2017! You’d hardly know, except for the posters on the buildings behind. This was before Ukraine was attacked by Russia and there is now a flag of Ukraine with the text, “We’re with you Ukraine”…
Chasing Light Trails on South Mall
You’re not waiting for a bus and suddenly four busses come along! We had fun with some long exposure photography on. Thursday night.
