I did this wonderful boat trip from St.Finians bay pier with Willie Kennedy and his big rib. My family and friends came as well and my two grandsons enjoyed her first time being a skipper on the wheel.
Great scenery around Ballinskelligs and Portmagee and the bonus was that we saw dolphins, puffins and some seals resting on the rocks.

Glenmore, Waterville, a photography treasure

If you continue the road that follows Lough Currane where the new hotel is just being build you reach the townland of Glenmore. The members of the South Kerry Camera Club visited the area last night on a wonderful warm summer evening. On the way you are passing scenes with mountains and lakes on the left as well as steep rocks and plenty of trees. At some stage you are going to see the parking place for walkers who want to do the Kerry walk. Keep driving for another 1,5km to the very and and turn at the last farm and find a place to park without interfering with the farm gates. There are some wonderful spots to photograph the valley, the trees and the river that runs there. Walking on the road is no problem as you are hardly going to meet any car. Enjoy this peaceful place and look at the sky as you may even see an eagle if lucky.

First outdoor shoot with my night class

Last Thursday was the first night I could leave the class room with my class in Tech Amergin Waterville to shoot some photos during the blue hour. We received new tripods recently that we tested and even did a bit of light painting using the torch of the phone.
In previous weeks my students prepared for long exposure settings and working with the tripods.
A welcomed light source was the local oil delivery truck that provided interesting lights on the near house wall and lane.
The warm tee afterwards in the Sea Lodge Hotel was a good way to finish the night.
