Autumn in Winter
It seems to me autumn leaves fell very late this year. Perhaps the mild season is part of a longer growing season and later falls of leaves each year due to climate change. I visited Cloughlea(gh) [spelling varies] woods in Co. Wicklow this weekend and since I had company and an impatient golden retriever with…

A snowy park
An extra fall of snow this morning called me out for a second walk in our local park this morning. May be the last chance to capture a winter scene before the sprint flowers make their presence felt. My first thought was to head to the deer paddock and see if the stag had some…

A winter break
While the country was moving from Covid-19 level 5 restrictions to a more open Level-3 I needed to head west to prevent some burst pipes. Since I brought my camera I could hardly not capture the first snow of the winter over Maumtrasna. While many chose to make straight for the reopened stores, I can’t…

Autumn colours in Wicklow
A good reason to join a camera club is because it gets you out to discover new places you maybe would not have come across otherwise. I thought I’d get to Wicklow much earlier this morning, but our new puppy Ollie made sure that was not going to happen. I thought I had put the…

A Quick Mayo Tour
I drove from Dublin to Clonbur, Co. Galway on Saturday afternoon with no real photography plan. I started with the evening sunset on Lough Mask which didn’t yield great sunset sky, but I managed to try and make the most of what I found. On Sunday morning I decided a hot day sitting in a…

Spring Break… Seascape blending video
This morning I managed to get up early enough to enjoy watching the sunrise over Tower Bay, Portrane. I knew the tide was low and rising and the sun was going to have a nice reflection on the rocks at my faviourite spot for these conditions. I probably spent half an hour total taking multiple…

Abstract textures
So ambling along in the woods today I inadvertently released the shutter and produced a pleasing abstract image (above). So I took ten minutes to create a few more slow shutter speed creations while moving the camera in various directions in the forest. I think the result make a nice collection of textures or maybe…

Get your feet wet!
Heavy down pour an hour before sunset is clearing to the east. Will the sun make a final appearance before it set in the west, and light up the clouds from below? Will I watch the latest Thomas Heaton video, or get off my behind and make the most of a potential gift from nature?……

Bonus Shoot
So through a bizarre set of circumstances, another opportunity to briefly shoot Tillie on location arose. I jumped at the chance, and these are some of the resulting images… They will make nice Black and White images as well but the rock colours (lichen) implored me to retain them. Ok, so here’s one quick…

Summer Time Begins
The usual way summer TIME is heralded in Ireland is by being late for work after the clocks push forward one hour, without being noticed in an overcast grey world. Not this weekend! This weekend we were provided with unbroken sunrise from dawn to dusk. What I tend to forget living on the east coast…
