A quick trip to Poolbeg with the camera club to get some sunset photos resulted in these photos. The sunset was a little underwhelming on this particular occasion. I was able to add to my collection of Street Art photos though and it was nice to have a chat with fellow members of the club. …
Saltee Islands
Every year I visit the Saltee Islands, off the coast of Wexford, yesterday was my first visit for this year. It is an absolute treat to spend the day on this Island, listening to the sea and the birds calling to each other. It is possible that you will find one person asleep at some …
Fota Wildlife Park
A trip to Fota Wildlife Park in Cork is always pleasure. Fota is two and a half hour drive from our house through some varied landscape, including the flat area around the Curragh and the Galtee range of mountains in Tipperary. For this trip I brought my Lumix LX100, as I was with a non …
Touch Rugby Summer Draft
I had a great day taking photos at the Donnybrook Touch Rugby Clubs Summer Draft. Sometimes taking dynamic photos of Rugby can be tricky, as the players are moving quickly, you want to show the pace and excitement of the game. This is an area of photography that I want to improve upon and hopefully …
Bray Air Show
The Bray Air Show took place a couple of weekends again, I went on Saturday to take some photos. The view from the top of Bray Head was perfect, as the more than forty planes flew straight past you and sometimes below you too. I had never been to this air show before and I …
Killiney Hill
On a glorious Summers evening, a friend of mine and myself went to Killiney Hill with the intention of chasing the evening light. We were rewarded with a gorgeous sunset and equally beautiful light earlier in the evening. I have always liked Killiney Hill as the views over the bay and city are spectacular. We were …
Monkstown Castle
Another tour I took part in during the Summer of Heritage was one of Monkstown Castle. I was very familiar with this building, so I was curious as to learn about the history of the ruins. The first castle built here was built by the Cistercian Monks of St Mary’s Abbey at the centre of a …
Nearly
My friend and I tried to go to Burtown House and Gardens in Kildare, but, it was closed to the public, as they were hosting a Wedding. We had some fun with Google maps before we got to Burtown, as Google kept trying to get us to drive down a small anonymous laneway, which did …
Carrickbrennan Graveyard
As part of the Summer of Heritage, Dun Laoghaire Rathdown have opened up Carrickbrennan Graveyard for tours every Tuesday and Thursday. I joined one of the tours last week, and it was fascinating. I have passed the gate that leads to this location many, many times in the past without realising what it led to. …
