The photos below were taken today at the Weir in Lucan. This has become an annual trip to watch the Liffey Descent Canoe Race with Offshoot Photographic Society. This year there was more water than last year, so the boats were able to go over the high drop, one boat went across the steps too, …
Saltee Island
On Saturday I made one of my annual trips to the Saltee Islands off the coast of Wexford, in the southeast of Ireland. I love this spot, it is a great way to spend a few hours watching the wildlife and taking in the sounds of the sea. To get to the island you take …

Guinness Storehouse
This may be the most visited tourist spot in Dublin, but, I still like to visit it every now and again. On this particular day, it was busy. I decided to focus on long exposures and to try and empty the building or to show movement. I think I did that. There are so many …

Rathfarnham Castle
The photos below come from a trip to Rathfarnham Castle in Dublin. As you can see the bones of the building are on view, and there is a lack of furniture in place, this is partially part of a policy of the OPW and partially due to funding. They believe that it is interesting to …
Poolbeg
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. …
