It’s very difficult to stop waves. You’ll need a fast shutter speed. If you don’t have a fast lens then stopping down a notch or third, or increasing the ISO will help too.
This image was originally quite bland with washed out waves and dark rocks but a little dodging and burning with a soft layer worked wonders!
This was taken in Dunworley, Co. Cork yesterday.

This weekend (today is a bank holiday) is the Cork Jazz Festival. People from all over the world come to Cork to participate – to play, to listen, or just get drunk and enjoy the festivities!
A city is made up of all sorts of people.

Top of Patricks Street, go across the bridge and look between the traffic lights.. Takes me bloody ages to walk around town! 🙂
We were going to have lunch in the upper-level restaurant but it was jammed tight with people already. There were queues of people 5 or 6 deep waiting on tables or a high stool. It might be worth waiting sometime and spending an hour eating and snapping shots..
This is 4 horizontal shots stitched together I think.
At the top of Patricks Street I noticed a rainbow over the city.
The English Market in Cork is a popular market and meeting area for people.
What kind of bird is this? Around a dozen congregate around our bird feeders, dive to the ground and bath in the bowl of water below, and even fight over how gets to have a bath or a feed sometimes!
