Golden Waves

I headed out to Garretstown and the Old Head of Kinsale for some evening photography thinking I’d try out the new 11-16mm on some coastal landscapes. But the sun was going to be in the wrong position and it just wasn’t working out. Instead, I … Read More

Where there's smoke there's fire

In yet another photo-and-kids walk, I took the boy out in the backpack for a brisk walk to give Hilary some peace and took this photo. I wish I could have got more of the house in silhouette but...

Ballywilliam Skyline

I’m still getting used to the local surroundings and I really need to explore the photographic opportunities within easy stroll of the house. This was a nice silhouette of the treeline on the hill, aided by the sunset which has moved in a more southerly … Read More

Swirls

I was slightly disappointed with all the foam bubbles at this location until I realised that in a long exposure I’d get some nice swirly patterns. I think this shot was worth the slightly difficult route back involving a climb over an 8ft wall to … Read More

Stillness

A gorgeous still evening at Oysterhaven. So peaceful I could hear people talking across the water.

Sunlit Cross

Different headstone, taken with sunlit background and shadown background. Wish I could have done this without the odd perspective and different composition.
