Low-light, long exposure photography has always had a particular attraction to me. That period from golden hour to blue hour provides some of the most stunning natural renditions of colour. The contrast between natural and artificial light is most effective at this time.
This shot was taken on Kinnegar Beach, just north of Rathmullan. The lights on the other side of the Swilly are Inch Island and Fahan.
A vibrant annual festival held in Sabinillas, Spain, which culminates in fireworks and the burning of an elaborate tableau, created by local artist Juan Oliva.
The late Johnny Boyle and I spent an evening here taking shots for the local Boat Clubs calendar. This one is a nice example of the balance and contrasting colour temperatures of natural and artificial light.
A blue moon occurs whenever a second full moon occurs in a calendar month. This blue moon coincided with a partial eclipse. The Earths shadow is clearly visible on the bottom right.
A night flight is captured over Cavtat harbour.
The river Lennon flows through Ramelton and gives its name to this annual festival.
Cavtat is a popular mooring point on the Adriatic.
Lough Swilly is tidal, large mudflats are exposed at low tide.
The Happy Hooker at low tide with Inch Island visible across the Lough.
The large yacht in the bay is the Luna, owned by Roman Ibramovich.
Not a blue or full moon this time, but the gibbous moon give more texture to the craters. This was taken with the 100-400mm with the 2x extender.
