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
Spirals of sparks as steel wool burns in a long exposure of about 20 seconds.
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

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.

Storm Light Over Owenahincha
Waves broke on the rocks at the edge of Owenahincha Beach a month ago.
Cobh Shines Bright Over Cork Harbour
Cobh, a few minutes before fireworks lit up the sky last month.
Rocks in the Misty Surf of West Cork
The restless Atlantic waves become ghostly veils of white mist caressing the rocks on Owenahincha Beach, Co Cork. Henry shared a photo of this same rock yesterday. There are lovely swirls of water in his photo.
Driftwood at Owenahincha
Last night Blarney Photography Club travelled to Owenahincha Beach to do some seascapes. We hoped to do some Milky Way photography later in the evening too but cloud cover got thicker and after some socialising in the nearby Celtic Ross Hotel we went home.
