The Yeni Camii overlooks the mall
A long exposure photo of the Yeni Camii in Istanbul, with the entrance to a small shopping mall in the foreground. Steps lead down, under a busy road, and vendors have set up shops down there selling all sorts of goods. The Yeni Camii is also known as the “New Mosque”, even though it was…
Where Cathedrals and Carnivals Collide
St. Fin Barre’s Cathedral in Cork can be seen in the background behind the big wheel on The Grand Parade, in Cork, tonight. I didn’t expect any sunset because there would be so much low cloud, but there was a tiny spec of colour on the horizon. At times, the underside of the cloud was…
The Panoramic Wheel Spectacle
The ferris wheel, or big wheel, or Panoramic Wheel as it’s known to it’s owners, on Grand Parade. We had some fun photographing it from the car park across the street. Henry has a photo of the wheel on his Instagram account too.
Christmas Lights and Light Trails
A scooter swerved in front of my camera just as I took a photo of Oliver Plunkett Street tonight. I wonder if it was the rider’s intention to ruin the photo, but they made it much better. 🙂 Thanks Henry for organising the night out!
It snowed this morning
It snowed for the first time this winter in Blarney. It was raining so, at least around here, the snow didn’t settle on the roads. All the snow is gone by this stage, but it’s cold out. Hopefully, the wet ground doesn’t freeze. Raw and Edit
Arco de la Victoria and lightstreaks
Many, many years ago, I photographed the Arco de la Victoria (Victory Arch) in Madrid. I was quite happy to have the lights of passing traffic in the photo too!
Lulu the VW Bus
In 2019, Lulu was this beautiful blue VW bus and was a photo studio on the final night of the Automattic Grand Meetup in Florida that year.
The October ’24 Aurora
Yesterday, I noticed that Henry was warning us (in Blarney Photography Club) that there was likely going to be a great display of aurora borealis that night. I’m recovering from a cold, so I was just going to stay in and watch TV, which I did. Nothing was going to get me out into the…
Light Streaks at Whistler
Streaks of light followed a bus as it drove past me early one morning in Whistler, Canada.
The Spodek and Light Streaks
The Spodek is an arena in the city of Katowice, Poland. Several weeks ago, the band Korn played to a packed out audience, and a few days later I returned to photograph it and the passing traffic.
Swirling at Light Speed
A ride at the funfair in Dingle swirls around at speed. A long exposure photo captures the movement of a long moment, not an instant of time.
A light trail in Lisbon
Looking down on the streets of Lisbon and using a long exposure shot, I captured the brake lights of a car as it went down a nearby hill.
