Have a seat on the street

Have a seat. Here’s one. I don’t know where it came from, maybe a local office or flat, but it was gone again in the morning. Be famous, seat.

Ghostly light trails in Amsterdam

Light trails left by passing bikes along a canal side road in Amsterdam.

This photo is taken at the same location as the near miss photo I posted a few days ago.

I captured a near miss when I made this long exposure shot of a canal in Amsterdam. Two boats were heading towards each, and it was only by gunning the engines of the one that went under the bridge on the right that they missed each other. People on board must have watched nervously, but it all turned out OK in the end.

The photo was taken just about here on Google Maps at the junction of Keizersgracht and Leidsegracht. The first night I walked past, the lights had been turned off as we were out too late but the next night was worth the walk there.

Damrak by Night

Houses by the water's edge are lit up and reflect in the still water. It's a night shot.

The Damrak in Amsterdam is a street in front of the main railway station of the city, where you can see the beautiful reflection pictured here.

If you’re lucky, the water will be as still as it was the night I photographed it. The reflections of the houses there are eye catching!

A bit late at the beach

Public toilets at a beach are lit up at night in the dark. Light streams out the windows.

The public toilets at Warren Beach, Co Cork, might seem like an unusual photo, but they were the only source of light nearby. Apart from a few minutes later when I ran up and down the beach with the flashlight on my phone for some fun long exposure shots.

St Patrick’s Day Fireworks

Fireworks light up the night sky over Cobh. The light reflects on the water.

Fireworks lit up the sky over Cobh last Sunday night, St. Patrick’s Day. We shot it from across the water from the park on Haulbowline.

City Hall in Green

Cork City Hall at night, and it's lit up in green to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. The river reflects the colour of the building.

The colours of Cork City Hall and surrounding lights are captured in an out of focus image.
The colours are reflected in the River Lee.

Cork City Hall is lit up in green to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day today. We went out on Thursday night to photograph it and I decided to get something different by shooting an out of focus image

Starry Night Sky

Stars pop and light pollution shows in the sky while the foreground trees and bushes are silhouetted. Poles carrying wires too.

After photographing the National Space Centre on a dark January evening I turned around and spotted this silhouette. Luckily, there wasn’t much of a wind blowing, but we were lucky. A chill wind blew in a few minutes later.

All lit up in pink

The roof of the bus station in Cork City is lit up by pink lighting as a vehicle drives past and brake lights are captured in mid air. Behind the bus station is the red brick chimney stack belonging to a factory that sat in that location from around 1920 but was demolished in recent years.

The Parnell Place Bus Station in Cork is lit up from below by pink lighting. It’s a long exposure shot and a vehicle drove past during the shot.

I wanted to get this shot and make sure that the red brick chimney to the far left was visible as it’s the most prominent part of a factory and industrial buildings that used to sit on that block. Some surrounding buildings were demolished in recent years. Apparently, they date from the 1920s.

Stars on the North Side

The Cathedral of St Mary & St Anne, or North Cathedral, in Cork sits on Cathedral Road where the light streaks of passing traffic can be seen. The Church of the Ascension is seen at the top of the photo, with its distinctive red cross glowing in the dark. Point lights make star shapes in the photo.

Cathedral Road was busy on yesterday evening and can be seen as light streaks in this five second exposure of the Cathedral of St Mary & St Anne, or North Cathedral. The Church of the Ascension is seen at the top of the image, with its distinctive red cross glowing in the dark.

Alexandre III Bridge at Night

The Alexandre III Bridge in Paris pictured at night. A passing boat casts a blue light on the river.

The Alexandre III Bridge in Paris was a beautiful sight to see. Unfortunately, there were road works on the bridge and traffic was busy, so you had to be careful where you went. A large group of Japanese tourists spent an age taking photos with the bridge in the background. They even had lights on a stand. It was quite a set-up.

The Fiery Red Tree

A sculpture of a tree sits atop a high stone tower, with a starry sky behind.

Atop a high stone tower in Clogheenmilcon Sanctuary Walk, near Blarney, is a sculpture of a tree. It was created by sculptor, Don Cronin and is impossible to miss if you’re walking in the sanctuary.

This was taken last night when temperatures had dropped to -4.5ºC. I didn’t stay out very long, but braver souls from Blarney Photography Club did!
