I discovered there’s an apple tree on the Waterloo Road near Blarney recently when I spotted apples on the road while out walking. Originally I thought I’d post this as a bright colourful photo but then I wanted to show off the texture of the fruit against the rough, stony surface of the road. Black…

Red fruit from a tree in the grounds of Blarney Castle. I have no idea what tree they come from as the name plate on the trunk is far below the wall where I photographed them. I’ll update the post when I find out! I found out that they’re called “Cornus kousa” thanks to Adam…

A man busking in Emmett Place, Cork a few weeks ago. I forgot to ask his name and he apologised for his playing as he was learning a new song so he was likely going to be strumming the same chords over and over again. This was shot when I was out with Blarney Photography…

In front of Argos on The Grand Parade, Cork a few weeks ago.

Suspicious eyes watch us through a fence in the grounds of Blarney Castle about a month ago. PS. No watermark. Photo is CC anyway.

When you just have to eat that sandwich.

The lights of Coburg Street and passing cars in a long exposure shot of the street from the traffic lights at the junction with Bridge Street. This was a 15 second exposure at f/22. The lovely star shape of the street lights is because the opening in the lens was so small (at f/22) and…

Ghostly light from passing cars hangs in the air on the corner of MacCurtain Street and Bridge Street in Cork City, Ireland. This is the second of three light trails or light streaks photos I’ll post here in an unintentional series of long exposure photos. The first was my Light Trails in Blarney photo published…

The red lights of a passing car streak across this photo taken in front of Christy’s in Blarney over the weekend. The photo was a long exposure of 8 seconds, at f/4, ISO 100. I was shooting in manual mode and made sure the scene was under exposed by at least a stop. As f/4…

Loud music, lots of strangers, a concrete jungle. I think this dog wants to go running in the fields. Pictured on Sunday afternoon, Paul Street, Cork.

A tree in the grounds of Blarney Castle. Yesterday morning there was a glorious sunrise, this morning it was horrible. Fingers crossed for tomorrow!

The 96FM Fugitive is a character listeners of Cork radio station 96FM watch out for as DJs on the radio station give out clues as to his whereabouts. Find him and you’ll win a cash prize! A few weeks ago they told people he was in Blarney and I was asked at least three times…
