Photos: Spring Day In Town

December 11, 2022

These images are from a few years ago. I went for a walk in the city centre and took a few photos.

I started around Marlborough Street.

Dalmatian, seagulls, a horse, basically the full spectrum of animals.

Buildings around Stephen’s Green.

Lots of crocuses in the park.

An unexpected bit of excitement at the top of Grafton Street.

Dublin Canvas: People Of Weaver Square

June 3, 2019

For the last few years, one of my goals has been to paint a circuit box for Dublin Canvas. I even had a routine: every year I would download the application form and then… procrastinate until it was too late to apply. Last year I was determined to actually go through with applying, and (to my own surprise) I actually did!

Not a lot of words today, just a few shots from the first day of Storm Emma/The Beast From The East/Sneachtageddon.

At the start of the summer I took a short trip to Edinburgh. I'd been there before, but only in the depths of winter, when it was too cold and rainy for me to want to spend much time outdoors. I was mostly just running from tea shop to tea shop. I was excited to see the city in good weather and to have the leisure to take photos. Right now it's dark and cold outside again, and summer feels like a long time ago! So I thought it was a good time to review these shots, pick out some favourites, and remind myself that sunshine is a thing that exists.

We had a heavy frost one day last winter, and I dug out my macro tubes and spent a very enjoyable 20 minutes taking close-ups of the ice on the car before I got too cold to continue!

Shooting in low light without a tripod can be pretty challenging, and I haven't really done much of it before. So I wasn't at all sure if I'd get good results. But as it happened, thanks to the dramatic lighting and the smoky air in the tent, I got a lot of shots I was really happy with. Here are a few of my favourites:
