A bit late at the beach
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 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 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
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 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…
Stars on the North Side
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 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…
The Fiery Red Tree
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…
A selfie with the Eiffel Tower
A woman poses for a selfie in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. There’s rain in the air and others are sheltering under umbrellas. I have my camera out on a tripod to take photos, of course!
The National Space Centre at night
A few of us visited the National Space Centre in Elfordstown in Co. Cork the other night to make some photos, and maybe photograph the Aurora if possible. No sign of the aurora, but the Space Center is a sight to see itself. Thanks Henry, for organising the trip! Check out his amazing photo of…
Glowing Light on Warren Strand
Some time after sunset this evening on Warren Strand, Co Cork. The clouds blowing in brought rain with them, thus putting a stop to any further photographic adventures. What is the glow? That’s my phone light shining on the incoming tide. The sharp turn to the right was me noticing the water had unexpectedly come…
Michael Collins and the Big Wheel
I was out and about with friends from Blarney Photography Club on Thursday night, and we got some great shots of the big wheel on Grand Parade. This year the big wheel is joined by a statue of the Big Fellah, Michael Collins. Check out Henry’s photo here.
