Sunrise on a Cloudy Day
The heatwave has broken today, but it’s still quite warm at 18C, but the rain is back. It’s like it never left! The threatened thunderstorms never materialised in Blarney but the sky is cloudy and produced a lovely sunrise this morning around 7am. The sun rising behind the hills east of Blarney lit up the…
Sunrise This Morning
Just before the sun rose this morning, it shone on the underside of clouds on the horizon, creating a lovely glow I could see from my home office window.
That after sun glow
I went to the reservoir in Inniscarra yesterday evening to capture the sunset. It had been a glorious day and I saw there would be a smattering of cloud at sunset, which might make for a dramatic picture. As it happened, there was cloud, but it was mostly at the horizon in a thick, impenetrable…
A Sunset ICM
The colours of a sunset captured in the sweep of an ICM photo. Dark to bright orange and a bit of dark at the bottom where the roof of a house was. I wish Adobe would use their AI to do an automated spot healing tool. My sensor needs cleaning and there were lots of…
The Eiffel Tower at Sunset
The Eiffel Tower garden is thronged with people watching the sun set behind the massive structure. The sky was clear and it was a hot night. People were sitting in almost every available space waiting for the light show that made the Tower sparkle on the hour.
The Ruins of Kilcrea Friary
Kilcrea Friary in Co Cork as the sun set behind it. Despite the unusually wet summer, this particular evening was dry and warm and just about perfect for a sunset.
The boats of Ballycotton
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.
Cork Eir Building at Sunset
I was out with Blarney Photography Club on Thursday night in the city. The sun was setting when I decided we should head to Bell’s Field. I thought we had about 30 minutes, but with the hills opposite, the sun sank out of sight much earlier. Driving up there, through St. Luke’s, we got there…
Sunset on the Youghal Boardwalk
Just after the sun set over Youghal last Thursday night and someone noticed people walking on the boardwalk.
Streaks of Sunset Light
You may have seen the stunning sunset photo from Crosshaven that I shared yesterday. Well, here’s another shot of it for you. This one doesn’t look like a typical sunset, does it? Except for the warm orange glow. That’s because I used a technique called Intentional Camera Movement, or ICM for short. It involves zooming…
Sunset in Crosshaven
The sun sets over Curraghbinny Wood as I watched from the Crosshaven side. There was the most amazing glow in the sky that lasted several minutes, a nice end to a glorious day.
Capturing Seaside’s Sunrise Splendor
In Seaside, Florida, a photowalk in September is best enjoyed in the early morning to avoid the oppressive humidity and heat that sets in later in the day. But the silver lining is that this early start allows us to witness the breathtaking sunrise over the Gulf of Mexico, casting a golden glow on the…
