A crow lifts off from the pole he was standing on, with his wings spread out to glide down.

Another one of a swallow flying near Ballycroneen Beach recently. You’ll recognise the field in the background from a recent photo!

Swallows fly really fast and they’re difficult to photograph in flight, so when I managed to catch this one in flight I had to share both. As I was advised by Rory, I didn’t zoom in which made it easier to catch them crossing the scene. On my Sony camera I set it to wide…

Down by Garrettstown Beach in Co Cork I spotted a horse in a field. He was by himself and I went over to say hi, and take his photo. He’s obviously had enough of people taking his photo, or maybe he ate something unpleasant, to judge by the look on his face. 🙂

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!

Back in 2019, and Horgan’s Quay was in the middle of development. Cranes were overhead, and the whole place was a building site.

A Ukrainian flag in a window in Ballycotton. It was getting dark, a perfect time to try some Intentional Camera Movement.
