A deck of portraits.

Strangely enough, it seems like all I have been doing lately is shooting pictures of people.

So, from the last month or two, here are a few.

Taking pictures of people is not something that necessarily comes naturally to me. Most of these were done, I think, with the 50mm 1.8. There may be a couple of [...]

Beaches

I now have an ebook up on the site which has 25 pictures of Irish beaches. The link is here and you are more than welcome to have a look at it. It is in pdf format and as advance working, it is a 31 MB file.

As a taster, here is a look at Inchydoney [...]

Near Lovely Inch, I must leave thee, Co Kerry

Advance apologies – this is superwide. But I think it deserves it, big time. You see, this is what I couldn’t do in Mayo. Pretend to be Ansel Adams.

Welcome to Kerry. While I was on my so-called holidays a couple of weeks ago, I wound up with a plan to go to Dingle. For reasons [...]

Volcanic wishful thinking

A volcano with lots of letters that I can’t really conceptually spell together has been getting angry lately and on Wednesday night it spat a dummy beyond all dummies. Since then, despite appearances, Europe has slowly been getting more isolated from the world. If you want to fly long haul from Europe to anywhere, you [...]

the sun would not play ball tonight

It sank behind a line of clouds leaving me with no ball of fire to give benefit to my decision to haul myself across the city and I barely got a pink sky to play with as well.

These are the beacon lights in Dun Laoghaire. The red light is on the East Pier which I [...]

Occasional Lighthouses – Galley Head in West Cork

For reason that I do not understand, this was never posted to the internet. Given my attachment to things lighthousish, I find this inexplicable.

In fact I was looking for some photographs I had taken in Inchydoney which is how I came across it. I will post those in a day or two – mainly I [...]

Ominous Tree, Mayo

It’s amazing what you can do with the black slider and some patience waiting around in the cold.

I am not going to complain about the weather in Mayo last week. It was cold at the start of the week. It was markedly more cold at the end of the week.

Looking at this:

I did wonder in [...]

Kitesurfing in Achill

This is Sean Murphy yesterday. I was out with a 17-85 – it’s not the usual lens to play with for kite shots but Keel gives you some wide angle options without you necessarily having to go into what was freezing cold water (I am told – I didn’t bother checking it out).

I’ve just had [...]

Soul food places….Clare

My holiday plans have more or less been abandoned. I may, if the weather cooperates with me, get the Ranga in Kerry to add to my collection of boats and wrecks but I’m not hopeful.

To day I discovered that the printing machines in Harvey Norman’s in Limerick didn’t understand folders on my USB key. As [...]

on the road to Achill

I had cause to go to Achill Island on Saturday.

And I exploited the opportunity.
