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 [...] I thought what with OPW keeping the island closed until 1 April we were safe, but feckit, there’s a boat load of ‘em already. ________________________ I went to Glengarriff yesterday just because I could. While I was there, there were actually boat tours – I thought it was a bit early but since 6 of us did [...] This one is for C. This is what I was at when you called this afternoon. Could have done with a graphics equaliser on my phone to try and figure out what you were saying by the way. Kinsale. Pretty town in Cork. Lots of boats and stuff. I was there today. As you can see. It’s [...] We had lunch near the Old Head of Kinsale today and there must have been 1 million different shades of blue in the sky. It was amazing. And the sea was very, very still. Extraordinary for March. Anyway, one of the hardest things to do is look out at 1 million shades of blue in the [...] I have a few other photographs to come so there will be another blog entry again later on. It is summer in Cork at present; however we managed it given that it is also March. This is Inchydoney, a popular beach with walkers in the morning. |
