Emma Lou in Ballycotton

The boats of Ballycotton under a sunset. A fishing trawler with the name Emma Lou in the foreground.

Some of the boats in Ballycotton a few weeks ago when Blarney Photography Club visited. A trawler with the name Emma Lou was in the foreground, but also visible were smaller boats, and the local search and rescue boat that had just arrived.

The Crow and the Swallow

A crow and a swallow. The crow is standing on top of a pole while the swallow flies past.

A crow stands on top of a pole as a swallow flies past him. Those swallows are really hard to photograph, so I zoomed in on the top of the pole and just watched the pole, without looking through the camera. When I saw a swallow fly close, I hit the shutter button hoping burst mode would take help me catch it in flight!

A break from the guitar

A barefoot man takes a break from playing the guitar on the street. He is drinking some water while his guitar sits next to him and a bike leans against the wall.

A man takes a break from playing the guitar on Winthrop Street, Cork. It was July 2019, so probably warm and maybe humid, so his bare feet won’t have been cold.

Chatting to the bus driver

A man stands outside a bus waiting to get on. He's watched intently by a bus driver in another bus beside it.

I was walking along the street and noticed this man, standing by the door of a bus. I think it was stopped at traffic lights. Did you notice he’s being watched by another bus driver?

Wind Blown Clouds

Wind blows the clouds over a silhouetted house on a hill in a black and white photo.

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!

Construction Cranes on Horgan’s Quay

Construction Cranes were on site among the new buildings of Horgan's Quay in Cork. The River Lee is flowing in the foreground, crossed by Brian Boru Bridge nearby.

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

The boats of Ballycotton

Boats in Ballycotton Harbour at sunset. The lifeguard vessel can be seen in the middle background, and a trawler is tied to the pier right in front of me, with other smaller boats further back.

During another trip with Blarney Photography Club to Ballycotton we were lucky to have a very calm evening. A light breeze disturbed the water, and there were clouds in the sky to make for an interesting sunset.

Shadows and Sun

The sun shines on the headland opposite Dingle in Co Kerry. Clouds cast a shadow over the fields on a glorious sunny day. The water of Dingle Bay is visible in the foreground.

We were walking out towards Hussey’s Folly outside Dingle when I looked across Dingle Harbour and saw the sunlight travel across the opposite headland as clouds moved away.

I love seeing light and shadow on a landscape so I grabbed a few quick shots.

The Boats of Glandore Harbour

Boats dot the water outside Glandore Harbour and one comes in to the quay.

Glandore harbour in the summer of 2019. Mist rolled off the sea on this day but had mostly faded away by the time I got there. However, you can see it in the distance, clinging to the land in the distance.

Bokeh Lights in Youghal

The out of focus lights of Youghal on a dark evening, just after sunset. The red brake light of a vehicle lights up the bottom right of the photo.

The out of focus lights of Youghal light up the sky. The red light of a passing vehicle lights up the corner of the scene.

I was originally going to photograph the light and get a long exposure shot of passing traffic but luckily, my lens was out of focus and reminded me I could shoot a photo like this!
