Test text. Colour. I spoke too soon. It was overcast and wet my first day here in Granada – I arrived having left the sun (sea & sand) of Malaga & the Costa del Sol behind. But that was a few days ago now & the anomaly of clouds & rain has...

I was in the Aviva Stadium in Dublin yesterday to see a legend don the Irish jersey for the last time on home soil. It was a pretty special occasion. I didn’t have the best seats but I was nicely positioned to get the following image at the game’s...

It’s never an easy task choosing your favourite captures from a year of photography. At least it never is for me. Of course I don’t help my own cause by travelling so much. I was on the road, camera in hand, for 6 of the 12 months of 2013, less time than I...

I finally got to play around with my 3-day-old Sony NEX-5r today. So far so good. I’m loving the size, responsiveness & IQ. Plenty more fun to be had with this baby, that’s for sure, especially when the 10-18mm lens I have on order arrives. This is...

Baseball has been a big part of my life for many years now. I fell in love with the game as a spectator in Yankee Stadium back in 1998, and even tried my hand at playing it, only to realise that it’s a lot harder than it looks & that the only part of playing...

The spate of Summer 2013 weddings that has my travels on hold is mercifully coming to an end; three down with one more to go (I’m off to Portugal in a few days for that one). I’ve rarely taken a camera out at any of the three weddings I’ve been to...

One of my fondest travel memories of the recent past was of the days, in May 2008, that I spent in the Middle Eastern country of Syria. Like a lot of people around the world, I’ve been following, as best I can & with an overbearing sense of ruefulness, the...

This morning was my first photography outing of 2013 but unfortunately a pre-sunrise trip to a windswept Rosses Point in Sligo, west Ireland, didn’t throw up too many (good) photo opportunities. But it wasn’t a total bust. I do like this simple capture, my...

I knew at its outset that 2012 was going to be a special, albeit busy year for me. I mentioned in a blog entry this time last year, when doing my end-of-year pictorial recap for 2011, how photography & the online presence I had built around photography had gone...
