[gallery type="rectangular" link="file" ids="16517,16519,16521,16520,16518,16523,16522"] Steel wool, multicoloured lights, a dark area and long exposure shots. Great fun with Blarney Photography Club last night!
City Hall Light Trails
Passing cars in the night.
Light Trails Through The Grand Parade
The Grand Parade last night while I was out with Blarney Photography Club in Cork. The shot is a 25 second exposure. For 20 seconds I exposed normally with the lens at it’s widest, but for the last 5 seconds I slowly zoomed from 17mm to 40mm to get the light trail effect.
Fr Mathew Stands Still
The statue of Fr Mathew on St Patrick Street stands still as cars, people and a bus move all around.
Star Trails in Utah
Star trails around the North Star, Polaris in Utah, United States. This is a long exposure shot of 930 seconds shot at f/8. The night was fairly clear but cloud crept in during the long exposure. It was a glorious night. We were up in the mountains and away from most light pollution apart from…

The Starlight of Glow Cork
Street lighting shines like stars as Glow continues next to the River Lee in Cork.
The Grand Parade Ferris Wheel
This year the ferris wheel is back on The Grand Parade, Cork for Christmas again!
An Garda
A member of An Garda Síochána directed traffic in Blarney last night when Santa visited and the lights were turned on in the village. This is a long exposure zoomed shot, of about one second duration with the flash firing at the end of the exposure. To replicate: Make sure you set your flash to…
