The couple at the bus stop
Dublin is full of interesting moments to capture with a camera, and one of my recent favourites was photographing a couple waiting for the bus. They weren’t posing or even aware of my presence, but the scene was too good to pass up. The woman had a bunch of flowers and was rummaging through her…
A Boat on a Lake with Clouds
There’s something about a small boat on a calm lake that just begs to be photographed. And when you add in the backdrop of hills shrouded in clouds and the texture of the reeds in the foreground, it becomes a picture-perfect moment. Capturing that moment, though, can be a challenge. You want to make sure…
The Tree in Muckross Abbey
When you visit Muckross Abbey in Killarney, one thing that immediately catches your eye is the magnificent tree that grows right in the middle of the building. The tree is so large that it almost looks like it’s part of the abbey, as if the building had grown around it over time. Taking a photo…
Invisible Motion on the Lake
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…
Shadows of Everyday Life
It’s a common sight in today’s world – a woman walking down the street, engrossed in her phone, completely unaware of her surroundings. But on this particular day, I noticed something that caught my eye. As she walked, her silhouette cast a clear shadow on the pavement, and the Nike swoosh on her runners was…
Red Hot Discounts in Shop Window
As the woman walked down the street, her attention was drawn to a vibrant red sign in the window of a shop. The sign read “REBAJAS HASTA – 50%,” indicating a significant sale. Intrigued, she paused to take a closer look at the window display. Dressed in red herself, the woman peered through the door…
Phone-Obsessed Youth in the City
As I was walking down the street, I noticed two young men engrossed in their phones. The first was casually leaning against the wall, while the second was perched on his motorbike, which was parked nearby. Despite being in different positions, they were both completely absorbed in their screens, lost in their own digital worlds.
Bench Talk and Poster People
A woman sitting on a bench, engrossed in her phone. The bench is a unique design, held up by what appears to be a human figure on one end, and a dog on the other, giving it a whimsical and artistic look. Behind her, a poster catches the eye, featuring two people staring out with…
Luxury and Cost: Split Your Payments
Oh, isn’t it just lovely to walk past an expensive jewellery store and gaze at the beautiful displays of necklaces and rings that most of us can’t afford? Oh, but wait, what’s that? A sign that says, “Split Your Payments”? How considerate of them to offer such a generous payment plan for those of us…
Workers on the Tracks
On an overcast day near the train I was on, four men wearing hi-vis vests were busy repairing something on the ground. They worked in the shadow of a large container that stood on brick lined pillars, with a wall behind providing further support. While one man worked diligently, the other three were huddled together,…
A Blue Boat in Howth Harbour
In the peaceful harbour of Howth, Co Dublin, a small blue boat bobbed gently in the water. Against the backdrop of the old and new lighthouses, it was a picturesque scene that perfectly encapsulated the charm of this fishing village. The sky was overcast and grey, a sign that rain might be on the way,…
A Snapshot of Rainy Dublin Nightlife
As the rain poured down on a gloomy evening in Dublin, a group of young people were out and about, determined not to let the weather dampen their spirits. Among them was a woman with pigtails and a sky-blue dress, looking like a ray of sunshine on an otherwise dreary night. Her companion, a man…
