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…

EFIAP Silver Distinction
This week I received news I achieved the EFIAP Silver distinction for works I have entered mostly in the past year to international photographic salons. I’m wondering now would I have put in the work to achieve this had it not been for the confinement of Covid-19. I had previously received my EFIAP Bronze in…

6th Balkan Exhibition 2021 results
I received results today for the last salon entered for my EFIAP Silver journey – the 6th Balkan Exhibition 2021 circuit for Serbia, Cyprus, and Romania. I received 5 awards, and 41 out of a possible 64 acceptances, with 14 of my 16 images being accepted. So the last task for my EFIAP Silver is…

Passage of time
So yesterday, after my scrambling around mountains in mist and fog from sunrise to sunset, I returned to an old friend. We first met on the 4th of February 2007. I was young and innocent and didn’t know how to handle the situation, but I was so enamored with the beauty in front of me,…

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…

Acueducto del Águila
Acueducto del Águila (Eagle Aqueduct), also known as Puente del Águila (Eagle Bridge), is regarded across the region as “an historic jewel of Spanish architecture”. It was built in the 19th century and has been used continuously since – today the local community uses it to irrigate farmland. The aqueduct is situated on the Barranco…

Frigiliana
Today we explored the streets of the nearby mountain village of Frigiliana. The bright afternoon sun was obviously a bit harsh for photos, but this place is very charming and I still had to take a few shots. I’ll be back, sunrise and sunset no doubt to try and do this town justice.

Playa Maro Sunset
This evening I returned to the same beach we enjoyed earlier today to see if the light on the headland held up to it’s earlier promise. When I arrived this time, the shadow from the cliff to the west was already half way down the beach, so I did not hang around at the car…

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…
