A Moment on a gloomy Halloween Night
It was a typical wet and gloomy Halloween night, and I was walking past a shop doorway when I noticed two young men huddled together, seeking shelter from the rain. One of them was dressed in a frog costume, and they were engrossed in something on the other’s phone. As I watched them, I couldn’t…
Abstract Forest in Motion
While out with Blarney Photography Club in Killarney National Park recently, we came across a small forest of slender tree trunks stretching up towards the sky like spindly fingers. The light was just perfect for some intentional camera movement, so we decided to experiment with a vertical ICM technique. I set my camera to a…
Horse and Cart in Motion
As I was strolling through the serene beauty of Killarney National Park, a horse and cart leisurely passed by.

Night Time Light Streaks at Busy Junction
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.

The Old Weir Bridge in Killarney
The Old Weir Bridge is a picturesque bridge over a small river near the Lakes of Killarney in Ireland. The bridge is an old stone structure with arched openings, and it looks particularly beautiful against the natural backdrop of the river and trees. The trees on both sides of the river are mostly bare, which…
Golden Glow over a Wheat Field
As the golden hour approaches, the sun illuminates a section of a wheat field, casting a beautiful warm glow across the landscape. In the midst of the field stands a single pole, which is illuminated by the soft light, creating a stunning contrast against the shadowy surroundings. The tall wheat stalks gently sway in the…
In Camden Town: A Young Man’s Reflections
Today’s photo is a snapshot of a young man in his twenties standing pensively in Camden Town, London. He’s wearing a striking green patterned coat, and he leans against a red brick wall with one hand resting gently on a nearby chair. Looking at this photo, I can’t help but wonder what the young man…
