Today was a day with a total lack of contrast, all shots were flat and boring. Tonemapped in NIK HDR Efex to give it a bit of 'oomph'.

All shots of this series done with the Samyang 135/2 wide-open plus reflector. In a way, the last year is still with us. Just as I am still around carrying all those years with me.

Absolutely, folks — this picture’s got all the ingredients you love: layered history, coastal drama, and a touch of poetic romance. Let’s dive in.
🌉 Blennerville Bridge & Reflections in the Water Blennerville Bridge spans the River Lee at its estuary, just west of Tralee in County Kerry. It’s a seven-bay stone bridge that forms a causeway between the canal and river, offering a striking view of the Slieve Mish mountains and the iconic Blennerville Windmill.
- On calm days, the tidal waters mirror the bridge, windmill, and surrounding village in stunning detail — a dream for photographers.
- The reflections often include clouds drifting over the mountains, adding layers of texture and mood to the scene.
- At sunrise or sunset, the water glows with amber and violet hues, turning the bridge into a silhouette against the sky — perfect for capturing symmetry and atmosphere.
Photographic Tips
- Position yourself near the Tralee Canal or the south bank of the River Lee for the best angles.
- Use a polarizing filter to manage glare and deepen the contrast in reflections.
- Try shooting during low tide when the water is stillest, especially in autumn when the light is soft and golden.
💔 The Maid of Tralee — Mary O’Connor She’s the heart of the famous ballad The Rose of Tralee, which inspired the international festival. Mary was a maid in service to the wealthy Mulchinock family in Tralee. William Pembroke Mulchinock, a poet from the household, fell deeply in love with her — but their romance was thwarted by class divisions and political turmoil.
- William wrote the song as a tribute to Mary’s beauty and truthfulness:
“She was lovely and fair as the rose of the summer,
Yet 'twas not her beauty alone that won me...”
- After being falsely accused of murder, William fled to India. When he returned years later, he learned that Mary had died of tuberculosis.
- Heartbroken, he was buried beside her in Clogherbrien graveyard, just outside Tralee.
🌹 Legacy The story of Mary and William became a symbol of enduring love and Irish identity, and the festival now celebrates women of Irish descent from around the world — not for beauty alone, but for character, kindness, and cultural pride.

.... the first of a short series of images I took recently up at my usual haunt. They were all shot in colour.
The Baseball is #one of the #sports that manages to unite many #nations through the #passion in every #episode.

-) My All Shots:
Light nights and late evenings force me to shoot in my kitchen with black out curtains and the lights turned off...
For this one I turned the circuit board to make it way out of parallel with the focal plane to make some great out of focus points of light.
All shot in one photographic exposure with a combination of flashguns and LED lights.
These images won't be of much interest to anyone but me, but I wanted to capture a little of the last sunlight of 2024 here in my Tokyo neighborhood. All shot with the Fuji GFX50R, my favorite digital medium format camera.
All shots of the whale sharks were taken responsibly, i.e. snorkeling, without using flashes and with sufficient distance.
The animals were not fed and swam in plankton-rich waters in a natural seasonal migratory corridor for whale sharks. When they had had enough, they dived into the depths.
All shots in this *PHOtage* were taken at our nearby fishing village, known for its famous "Stonington Scallops" . . .
we've all had those moments when something of greater interest (a squirrel) than the camera enters the scene .. a slightly lateral example of photobombing! :) Quite unusual in that almost all shots I have of him he is fixed on me .. I never have been able to train him to look heroically off into the distance ... at the bottom of this is the tense wait for the command to go or hear the shutter click:)

These are all shots of one of the southernmost arms of Lake Gilles. This is an inland saline lake with varying water levels. In winter after rains you will often find extensive areas submerged, but it can become very dry during the warmer months.
It was nice to see some water while I was there.

All shots taken with the RF100-500mm at 500mm except the centre shot with background at full eclipse at 200mm.
The 3 moon shots on the left are the moon rising over the horizon taken from Bondi Beach. The rest were taken from my backyard in Sydney
Another from my forks session. Trying to create an abstract series with the simple table fork. These were all shot on a mirrored table with black backcloth and illuminated with a multiple LED light.
