  1. Gilding the Door on Popes Quay

    A man is repainting the front door of St Mary's Dominican Church on Popes Quay. It can be easy to forget that massive buildings that have been there all the time need constant maintenance.

  6. The Photographer and the Cliff

    The cliff below the Baltimore Beacon drops a long way, and the only way to show that was to put a person at the top of the frame. Luckily, a fellow photographer was busy doing the same thing I was doing. I walked over afterwards and spoke to him and his wife. They are Swiss, over on holiday in a camper van. He had the tripod set up right on the edge with the camera low down to capture the heather and gorse flowering along the lip. I never got his contact details, so if that is you, or you […]

  11. The Beacon Through the Gorse

    I got down low in the gorse to photograph the Baltimore Beacon, so most of the frame is flowers and wire rather than the beacon itself. A few groups came and went as I photographed the Beacon, but I don't think any of them stooped down low and put their camera in the gorse!

  12. Sitting in the Sun at Bantry Market

    The van was parked side on to the sun on a warm February day in Bantry last year. Sun shone for a brief moment and I caught a moment where he looked up from his phone.

  13. Fixing the fishing line

    Sometimes the fishing line gets tangled and you need to stop what you're doing and fix it.

  15. Stall 27

    Six people stood at the counter with their backs to me, all of them looking down into the glass case of amber and silver. The wall behind the stallholder was covered with icons and painted crucifixes right up to the arch, under lights warm enough to make the gilding glow. Nobody looked up at any of it. The icons cover the wall, but the jewellery in the case is what people came to buy.

  16. Wheeling Through the Square

    The nun was the only person in Market Square moving with any purpose. Everyone else had the tourist walk, slow and drifting or heads tilted up at the scaffolding on St Mary's. She came over the cobbles in sandals with the bike beside her, key swinging from her belt, and went straight past us on her way.

  17. Posing in the sunlight

    The bright light of the late afternoon sun shone into an arcade in Kraków's Main Market Square. I spotted a photographer photographing two women. A moment they'll remember but the tourists walking past paid it no heed.

  18. Drifting past the pier

    Two jellyfish drifted past the end of the pier at Ballycotton, less than a metre under the surface but in the warm light of a setting sun the water grew dark quickly with depth.

  19. Last Light at Ballycotton

    The three of them had the pier to themselves, rods out over water that had gone completely flat. I was there with Blarney Photography Club, and sunset is always an attraction there. It had already happened somewhere behind the headland, leaving a band of yellow along the horizon and nothing else lit. Not one of them turned to look at it. They watched the water instead, which is important if you have come to catch something.

  20. A Song Thrush at Dusk

    The thrush was sitting on a branch in a cherry tree in the grounds of Blarney Castle late in the evening, and it stayed put long enough for a few frames. The next photo is a blur as the bird looked the other way, and the following photo is of a bare branch. The thrush had flown away.

  21. Under the Insurgents’ Memorial

    Shot from below, the memorial's three bronze wings blot out most of the sky. A man in a grey hoodie sat on the granite wall at the base, hunched over something in his lap, tiny against the thing behind him. He'd picked the one spot where the monument stops being a monument and turns into somewhere to sit. Take him out of the frame and you'd have no clue how big it actually is. The Silesian Insurgents Memorial's three wings stand for the three Silesian Uprisings of 1919, 1920, and 1921, when […]

  22. Lucky Leprechauns

    The performing leprechauns are back, sitting next to the new raised flower beds that were installed by Cork City Council recently. They love the attention but they are loud.

  23. Evening Sails at Kinsale

    A grey evening in Kinsale, with a fleet of small boats out on the harbour for what looked like club racing. Most of them carried red sails, Squibs I think, a class Kinsale Yacht Club is well known for, with a few white ones mixed in. The water was almost flat, and the crews sat low and quiet as they worked their way across it. Behind them, the wooded shoreline climbed up to fields and houses on the hill, and a single dark-hulled yacht sat moored off to the side, sails down for the night.

  24. The Boats of Ballycotton

    Ballycotton harbour late on a summer evening is one of those places that is rewarding to visit. The working boats had all come in, Atlantic Chief, Excelsior and Prolific were rafted tight against the wall, hulls bobbing in calm waters. The setting sun cast long, side-on shadows and clouds streaked across the sky.

  25. Roses for Sale, Bantry Market

    The roses lean out of their black plastic pots like they’re craning for a better view of the customer, and she’s giving them a proper once-over, but what I noticed was the tote bag so floral it could be for sale at the flower stall....

  27. The Reflection and the Real

    The poster girl gets the beach, the dunes, the perfect light and a 30% discount; the actual shopper gets a footpath, a purple handbag and a too-warm day in the town.

  28. Low Tide on the Thames

    Pull the river back a few metres and London grows a beach. I caught this stretch of Thames foreshore at low tide, the water was a proper builder's-tea brown, the City stacked up behind like someone had emptied a box of glass towers. I love springer spaniels, so I had to photograph this.

  29. 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 […]

  30. 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.

  32. 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.

  33. The Bookshop Pigeon

    A pigeon had taken up residence in the Dubray Books window on St. Patrick Street, wedged comfortably between Michael Palin and a Lonely Planet guide which is frankly better taste in travel literature than most of us manage. It sat there among the carefully arranged display like it had been hired for the job, unbothered by the Black Friday signage overhead or the passers-by stopping to gawp. One woman paused mid-stride, peered through the glass, and you could see the exact moment the penny […]

  34. Dawn Sentinel at Gougane Barra

    A bunch of us arrived in Gougane Barra this morning to photograph the sunrise, only to be met with driving rain and mist and fog on the hills. A biting wind tore through clothes making for a missed opportunity for all of us.

    Luckily, within a few minutes of arriving, a glow could be seen on the horizon, and the rain started to thin out. In another 10 minutes the sky was almost completely clear, as if nothing had happened!

    Ironically, I would have liked some high cloud for the sun to bounce off before it rose, but it wasn’t to be so I decided on a silhouette of the tree near the oratory instead. That would fill in the sky nicely.

  35. Tiny People in a Giant City

    This is what I love about shooting London with a telephoto lens. You compress the layers of the city together and suddenly the relationship between people and architecture becomes absurd.

  36. Cool and Curly: Two Strangers on the South Bank

    Just after we walked across Millenium Bridge in London I came across these two people watching something behind me. I think it may have been two women who had a couple of dogs with them.

    An interesting pair. I couldn’t resist making a candid photo of the moment.

  37. A Sign of the Times

    A glowing yellow YIELD sign cuts through the darkness like a solitary performer on stage, casting warm light across empty spaces and parked cars, and suddenly you’re thinking about cinema and loneliness and how good urban photography is basically just about finding the drama hiding in everyday places.

    I love photographing car parks. Great views from the top floor, and interesting urban furniture and lighting inside.

  38. When the Dragon Roared Through Cork’s Streets

    Right, so let’s talk about the absolute star of Cork’s Dragon of Shandon parade—the massive skeletal dragon that dominated the streets and created that perfect mix of ancient mythology and contemporary street theatre that defines this extraordinary event.

    The parade really is a spectacular event, and the dragon brings up the rear with ominous music and a rider on top. It’s really quite a sight to see!
