Shadowy Groynes at Sunset
As the sun sets, one thing I like to do is intentionally moving the camera lens, so the resulting picture is more abstract, but still captures the colours and shadows of the sunset. This is what I did in Youghal a few months ago with Blarney Photography Club. Standing in the water, I swung the…
The Malaga Promenade
The Palmeral de Las Sorpresas, a promenade on Malaga Harbour is all lit up at night, with Malaga Cathedral in the background. All reflected in the water of the harbour.
Light speeds on the road
A bus and other traffic speed along the road at night.
The Colours of Culture Night
A long exposure photo of a street with a passing bus that says, “Culture Night” on the front captured in maddening, disorganising streaks of colour.
Reflection on the Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower reflected in the pond at the Jardins du Trocadéro in Paris. I remember reading that police would stop you taking photos of the Eiffel Tower at night with a camera on a tripod but I never experienced that. Do they do that any more?
A Path Through The Dunes
Grass is blown, and clouds are whisked through the air by winds that blow on to the beach at Long Strand, Co Cork.
Never a phone when you want one…
I guess if you’re in London you probably won’t have much trouble finding a public phone. A group of them stood here, wherever it is. Empty and alone.Meanwhile, traffic passes in the background, casting eerie light trails through the photo.
Epcot Theme Park Fireworks
Fireworks at the Epcot Theme Park in Orlando in 2018 when Automattic hired out the place for a few amazing hours.
The Hills off Inch Beach
Off Inch Beach in Co Kerry, in August 2015. A lovely sunset casts a glow on the hills opposite. A slow, long exposure blends the waves together.
Wind Blown Clouds
Looking up from the rocks in Ballycotton I spotted this house and magnificent clouds overhead. The wind was blowing hard up there high in the sky and the clouds moved visibly as I watched. It didn’t take me long to realise I needed to photograph it!
Bokeh Lights in Youghal
The out of focus lights of Youghal light up the sky. The red light of a passing vehicle lights up the corner of the scene. I was originally going to photograph the light and get a long exposure shot of passing traffic but luckily, my lens was out of focus and reminded me I could…
The winds blows softly
On a lovely evening in August last year I was walking along a beach with my wife. The sun was getting low in the sky casting a faintly yellow glow over the world. This long exposure shot captures the movement of cloud, and the wind blown grass. Even though there wasn’t much wind, it’s all…
