Eye of the Eagle
I spent a few minutes watching this white-tailed eagle do absolutely nothing, and it was riveting. It sat on its branch at Fota Wildlife Park like it owned the place which, fair enough, when you're the largest bird of prey in Ireland, you probably do. The dark backdrop did me a favour here, throwing all the attention onto that pale, scruffy head and the hooked yellow beak. A moment later he launched into the air and flew off to another part of his enclosure. -
Little Grebe, Smaller Grebe
I was visiting Fota Wildlife Park with Henry recently when he spotted these two in an enclosure and I genuinely cannot get over how small a little grebe chick is. It's basically a wet pom-pom with an attitude. The adult, all chestnut throat and businesslike beak, was patrolling the surface and the chick paddled over, demanding food with the kind of cheek only baby birds can pull off. I love how the second shot caught the wee one drifting solo, perfectly mirrored on glassy water, looking […] -
The Patient Hour at Santa Cruz
As I climbed up the rocks from the beach I spotted a lone fisherman in the distance. He hadn't caught anything yet but in the bright sunshine I caught a nice silhouette. It was Santa Cruz in Portugal, and a lovely day to be beside the sea.https://inphotos.org/2026/05/11/the-patient-hour-at-santa-cruz/

Dermot Henry at Cyprus Avenue
Dermot Henry @ Cyprus Avenue, Cork. I saw Dermot Henry perform at the Wavelength Rooftop Bar, attached to Cyprus Avenue, in Cork, last night. Folk music isn't my usual cup of tea but Dermot's got a great voice and judging by comments on his YouTube videos, a passionate following. The support singer was great too. He said his name a couple of times but every attempt to search for it online returned other people. If you recognise the man in the second photo, please let me know!https://inphotos.org/2026/05/10/dermot-henry-at-cyprus-avenue/

The Hen Party in Full Stride
I caught this one on a warm Saturday night in Katowice a few years ago. Somewhere on the Mariacka strip where every other doorway is a bar and the pavement is essentially a parade route. Five women in a loose flying-V, the bride-to-be in white on the right with a tiara, a veil and a sash that does the introductions for her. It's the kind of group you hear before you see. I love that it's not posed: one's mid-laugh, they're all mid-stride, the leader has her arm out like she's parting the Red […]https://inphotos.org/2026/05/08/the-hen-party-in-full-stride/

Three on the Sand at Foz do Lizandro
Foz do Lizandro is one of those beaches where the Atlantic doesn't let you forget it's the Atlantic. Even on a bright spring day, the surf comes in heavy and the water is properly cold. I caught this little scene from up the beach: mum framing the wave on her phone, dad watching, holding a baby in his arms (a leg is sticking out on his left), and a young woman in a long striped dress walking barefoot along the wet sand, completely in her own world. Three lives, three small reasons to be […]https://inphotos.org/2026/05/07/three-on-the-sand-at-foz-do-lizandro/

A Siamang and Her Little Passenger
The siamang barely moved while I framed the shot. Two long arms hooked around the timber, and then a bundle of jet-black fur with two enormous eyes peering up. I'd wandered over to Fota's gibbon island half-expecting the usual whooping chorus, but instead caught this quieter scene: mum holding her ground in a patch of sun, baby latched on to her. The light caught the auburn glints in her coat and the tiny one's startled little face, and I had maybe three seconds before she swung off into the […]https://inphotos.org/2026/05/06/a-siamang-and-her-little-passenger/

The Patient Watchers of Fota Wildlife Park
Two herons, two very different moods. The first one had clambered up into the bare branches like it owned the place, scruffy chest plumes blowing about and that sharp yellow eye scanning the park below. The second was posing in profile on the netting above one of the enclosures, side-lit by late sun that caught every layer of grey and white in its plumage. Fota is full of exotic species you've travelled to see, and then you spend ten minutes photographing the local heron because it simply […]https://inphotos.org/2026/05/05/the-patient-watchers-of-fota-wildlife-park/

Silk and Stone: A Long Exposure at Santa Cruz
I scrambled out onto the rocks at Santa Cruz in Portugal taking photos of various views and then climbed up to a rock platform where I was greeted with this view in front of me. I had an ND filter, but no proper tripod, only a small "plate tripod" that just about did its job of stabilising the camera for 5 seconds. It was a difficult job finding a flat surface to place it on in this area! The Atlantic had gone from a churning, hissing mess to this smeared, milky surface that looks almost […]https://inphotos.org/2026/05/04/silk-and-stone-a-long-exposure-at-santa-cruz/

Paul Young and Jamie Moses, eyes closed and lost in it
I had a fifth-row seat for Paul Young at St. Luke's last night. It was sold out, so it was worth getting in early for the "From No Parlez to The Secret Of Association" tour. The clue was in the billing: this was pitched as intimate conversation plus acoustic versions, not a greatest-hits run-through. Judging by the chatter and occasional heckling that drifted up from the rows behind me, plenty of the room hadn't read that bit. Forty years on from a debut album that went straight to number […]https://inphotos.org/2026/05/03/paul-young-and-jamie-moses-eyes-closed-and-lost-in-it/

Above the Clouds, Below the Dawn
Window seats earn their keep on flights like this one. We were somewhere north of Lisbon, climbing north towards Ireland, when the sun decided to put on a show off the right-hand side of the aircraft. The horizon went from a deep, almost bruised red, up through that signature aviation orange, and finally settled into a clean morning blue at the top of the frame. That single wispy cloud hanging across the middle felt almost too well placed — like it had been brushed in afterwards. Shooting […]https://inphotos.org/2026/05/02/above-the-clouds-below-the-dawn/

An Evening with Paul Young
Paul Young played St. Luke's tonight, and we were lucky enough to grab fifth-row seats by turning up early. The place was packed. The show is billed as "Paul Young - From No Parlez to The Secret Of Association" and described as follows, Paul Young looks back during these intimate shows, that combine conversation and acoustic versions of songs Paul Young broke into the big time 40 years ago when No Parlez went to number one and spawned iconic hits like Wherever I Lay My Hat (That’s My […] -
The Diego Effect at Bantry Market
You can tell a dog has just walked past by the geometry of the smiles. Two heads turning at the same angle, the kid in the patterned fleece still oblivious, a smoothie stall behind them advertising Mango Mix and Berry Bliss like it's any other Friday. Diego is a small chihuahua and entirely unaware that he's a one-dog charm offensive. He just trots along beside me at Bantry market and the world rearranges itself around him. I didn't pose this. I didn't even ask. I was a step behind with the […]https://inphotos.org/2026/05/01/the-diego-effect-at-bantry-market/

A Quiet Evening in Kinsale
Even on a calm evening when I took this photo, a moored boat moves about if given enough time. This long exposure shows the slight movements that show the water isn't quite as still. There's no wind to speak of, the surface looks like polished slate, and yet the boat is nodding away to itself, tethered to that bright red buoy like a child trying to stand still for a school photo. -
Eye of the Bison
I didn't know there were bison at Fota Wildlife Park, but near the end of my walk there with Henry we stopped at a field containing these large beasts! I wonder if they were overheating in their winter coats in the warm April sunshine, but I suspect the cold wind that blew through at intervals cooled them down. TIL that every European bison alive today descends from just twelve individuals. The species was hunted to extinction in the wild by the 1920s. The last truly wild one was shot in […] -
Hen-do detour through Gerrard Street
I caught these two coming out of the crush on Gerrard Street, London, last summer. The blonde in the GANNI tee looks like she's mid-anecdote; her friend, in a white off-shoulder dress with a tiny veil pinned over a leopard headband, has the slightly stunned grin of someone three hours into a hen weekend and starting to enjoy it. London Chinatown is a brilliant place to wander in a bridal veil. The pavement is so packed nobody quite registers it, and you can stand under a lantern eating […]https://inphotos.org/2026/04/26/hen-do-detour-through-gerrard-street/

First Light at Cappagh
Cappagh Beach at half-six in the morning is colder than I'd planned for. We'd driven down to Kerry the night before and I was up in the dark, heading out the door and shared the journey from Dingle with Freddie at the wheel. I forgot my wellies, but while I cursed my lack of preparation, I didn't miss them at all once I got there. Then I got down onto the sand and the sky decided to put on a show. A single pink contrail (or maybe a ribbon of high cloud, I genuinely couldn't tell) drew a […] -
Barefoot on the Dunes
We'd climbed up onto the dunes just as the weather turned. One minute it was postcard Fuerteventura. Bright sand, blue sea, the whole thing was beautiful and the next a slab of grey had slid in off the Atlantic and parked itself overhead. Suddenly we were running for our cars as rain pelted down. But that was 5 minutes into the future. For now people were enjoying the dunes in Fuerteventura. -
An Emerald at Fota
This handsome iguana was lounging on a branch in the hothouse at Fota Wildlife Park this morning. He didn't seem bothered by the passing crowds: kids, parents and inquisitive photographers with the wrong lenses. A bit of cropping and I had the frame I wanted. That red-rimmed stare never left me though, watching from the log, belying the relaxed sprawl. -
Lá Fhéile Pádraig in Fire and Light
We were standing across from Cobh in the park on Haulbowline Island to photograph the fireworks display over Cobh on St. Patrick's Day this year. With a camera on a tripod, timing a fireworks display is basically an exercise in optimistic guesswork. When I see the firework launch, I press the shutter button, hope a burst lands in frame, and try not to jostle the camera and tripod as the photo is taken. Sometimes if the burst is impressive I'll forget to take my finger off the shutter button […]https://inphotos.org/2026/04/18/la-fheile-padraig-in-fire-and-light/

Where the Dingle Coast Meets the Swell
Clogher Beach in early March is not what you'd call hospitable. This little cove on the Dingle Peninsula opens straight onto the Atlantic, and the swell hits the slate head-on; the spray goes up twice as high as the wave itself. I was there with Blarney Photography Club, all of us strung out along the beach in heavy coats, pretending we weren't freezing. I kept the shutter short enough to freeze the break but long enough to let the water show some texture and pulled the exposure down a touch […]https://inphotos.org/2026/04/17/where-the-dingle-coast-meets-the-swell/

Forty on the Way Down
We pulled in at the Mirador de Guise y Ayose and after photographing the statues there like everyone else (I have yet to post those photos, stay tuned) I pointed the camera at this little red-ringed 40 sign keeping watch by the road. Which is funny, because the view behind it is the whole reason anyone stops here: the central spine of Fuerteventura folding down into the Atlantic, lit up like someone had turned up the contrast knob on the hills while leaving the sea a flat, hazy blue. The […] -

Dome with a View
I stopped halfway across the Millennium Bridge and pointed the camera north, which turned out to be the same thing roughly nine thousand other people were doing that afternoon. I looked behind me and there was another group of tourists with their phones raised taking much the same photo I have here. St. Paul's Cathedral was in the background but I was interested in the people, contrasting the ever-present building with the steady stream of humanity flowing past me.
