When I got to Lahinch on Monday, it looked as though it had been snowing. The whole beach was covered in this foam stuff which consisted basically of sea water and sand from what I can see (look, I got absolutely covered in it). It was fascinating. Because of the way it was blowing up [...]

I spent some time in south west Ireland over the past few days. This was taken from the prom in Lahinch and there will be a few more from there along with some from Inch County Kerry over the next day or so All my life I’ve wanted to get a shot like this. In theory I [...] This was taken ca 2003. If I could find the print, I could confirm the year at least. It’s possible the processing date is on the back of the print. The photograph was taken with an Olympus OM10 which is still in the room here beside me, on what was almost certainly some sort of Fuji [...] Another occasional lighthouse, again, from Cork. They built a golf course on the Old Head of Kinsale so access is a bit more limited than it was in days of old. This was taken some time in March during my last traipse around West Cork. I actually got a few photographs I really liked while I was [...] One of the things that I learned about surf travel photography recently was that lineup shots were important.Very important. They featured heavily in pieces of travel writing where there might be any tenuous link with surfing at all. Unfortunately, while I was on my surf photography travel trip, I was in Newquay where, for the [...] I was looking for a slightly faded denim type look for this – kept a little bit of the colour – decided not to shove in all the black and white the other day. It’s another one from Cornwall. There’s an element of faded retrochic as well. I’ve mixed feelings about it for the moment [...] The weather in Newquay today was not edifying so it’s just as well I tok a couple of nice photographs yesterday. This is one of them. The tides in Newquay are quite high and this little inlet is pretty much completely unimportant if the tide is out. If it’s in, however, it seems to grow in [...] Travelling laptop has already crashed once on me this evening and I am nowhere near done with the homework yet tonight. So fingers crossed no further trouble. What we have here is a Royal Navy patrol boat in Fistral Bay outside Newquay. I missed the drama plus I didn’t have long lenses with me, but he [...] Lahinch. Lahinch has the best lifeguard station I have seen in this country. It’s not, for example, a temporary dwelling, sort of container box thing. It looks like it belongs in California, to be honest and it watches out over one of the most popular beaches in the country. Unlike Tramore, Lahinch is not full of [...] There’s like a garage for trawlers in Howth, so the odd time you’ll see a boat up on rails. It looks quite odd. I’ve a yen to get a great photograph; I’ve just never managed to figure out how to create it. I can’t take too much credit for this one; most of the work [...] |
