Training on a bike

A boy on his training bike in the shadows cast by the Gaiety Theatre entrance.

A training bike is a great way to get kids used to cycling. In a busy city like Dublin, it’s probably best they don’t go on to the car filled roads too soon.

Purple Lights and a Pyramid

Purple lights on a tree reflect off the wet ground and a glass pyramid at night

Bright purple lights on a tree reflect off the ground after a friend shower in Málaga. The pyramid is the “Pirámide de Cristal” which is a glass pyramid that is there at least 11 years.

Ancient ruins are visible through the glass, which are apparently, “Roman basins belonging to a salted fish factory from the second half of 4th century A.D. The basins were used to make the fish sauce called garum.” according to wikimapia.

Look to the right of this image and you’ll see a large statue of one of the Kings, as this photo was taken just before January 6th.

Out of shot are the ruins of the Roman Theatre and the Alcazaba, a fort built or rebuilt up to the 14th century.

The Flower Seller

A man selling flowers on Graft Street watches as a woman looks for what she wants to buy

On Grafton Street, Dublin, you’ll find people selling flowers to passing pedestrians. There are a few of them, so business must be pretty good. Lots of foot traffic in the area, though. Lovely displays of colour too.

Feeding the cat

A man puts some kind of paste on his finger while being watched carefully by his cat who is lying over his shoulder!

It’s not every day you see a man walk by with a cat lying across his shoulder, but this day in Malaga I did.

He was squeezing some kind of paste on to his finger, which I presume may have been a treat for his cat. That cat was very interested in what he was doing!

New Year’s Fireworks in Malaga

Bright fireworks burst in the sky in an explosion of colour

Bright fireworks burst in the sky in an explosion of colour. The Hotel Soho Boutique Equitativa and the Moon can be seen behind.

The new year was welcomed by fireworks lit by a random guy in Plaza de la Marina in Malaga. I thought there would be spectacular fireworks over by the lighthouse as the clocks struck 12, but no, the skies remained empty.

We turned away and saw fireworks lighting the sky next to the towering Hotel Soho Boutique Equitativa near the plaza. Bangers were lit and it was very noisy. I remembered I had Bluetooth earphones, and they helped dull the noise when I started playing Pet Shop Boys a little louder than I would normally.

All the photos were hand held. I had a tripod, but it was hard to know when a firework would go up. I eventually set up the tripod during a lull when they lit some sort of sparkler on the ground, but then the main protagonists just walked away. The show was over.

It was my first time shooting fireworks close up and handheld. I shot in manual mode, with the aperture as wide as I could, ISO 100. After a few shots, I switched to back button focus and focused on the hotel, but I’m not sure if it helped much.
