You may have seen the stunning sunset photo from Crosshaven that I shared yesterday. Well, here’s another shot of it for you. This one doesn’t look like a typical sunset, does it? Except for the warm orange glow. That’s because I used a technique called Intentional Camera Movement, or ICM for short. It involves zooming…

August 2022 when fuel prices in Ireland were sky high, and they’re likely to go in that direction again. In that month, a litre of petrol or diesel was €2.059. The price per litre has since dropped to €1.618, or at least it was at the end of April when I purchased petrol last. Anyway,…

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Lakes of Killarney with Blarney Photography Club and snapped this long exposure photo near Ross Castle. The scene was magical, with the reeds gently swaying in the breeze and the bare trees looking like skeletons on guard. It was an otherworldly experience, and I couldn’t wait to…

The hustle and bustle of city life can be captivating, especially at night, when the bright lights of passing vehicles streak into the distance like stars in the sky. This particular photo captures the vibrant energy of a busy junction, with cars and buses whizzing by in a blur of colour and motion. Despite the…

Waves crash on rocks but all you see is a mist in this 4 second long exposure shot. That’s Roches Point Lighthouse in the background, of course, because this photo was taken in Church Bay last year.

More light trails from passing traffic in Malaga. It was a nice warm night. I was listening to the Shakespeare episode of the Short History Of podcast. Good memories.

There’s a four lane highway through Malaga but in December and January they have great decorations over the street. The perfect time to take some long exposure shots of passing traffic!

Saint Fin Barre’s Cathedral seen in the background behind the Ferris Wheel on Grand Parade in Cork.

As seen in a previous photo of the Ferris Wheel on the Grand Parade in Cork, the crystall ball that Henry brought along was a very useful prop. Here we are at the top of the car park looking down on the big wheel. It surrounds the crystal ball, but the wheel itself can be…

Two for the price of one! The Ferris Wheel on Grand Parade has grown a twin! Thanks, Henry, for the inspiration. Here is his double photo.

Lights along the River Lee a couple of weeks ago when I joined Henry and Vivien for some photography. Henry got a fabulous shot of the wheel. I’ll be posting some more shots of this over the next few days.

The Samuel Beckett Bridge in Dublin and the lights of the Convention Centre Dublin fight for attention. Red and Green lights reflect off the River Liffey on a warm October evening earlier this year.
