Galway Bay Reflections

Clouds at dusk


Birds on the horizon and a broken gate

Far away flock

Fence to nowhere

A nighttime trip down by the River Clyde

Here’s a few shots that I just took on my trip back to Glasgow in search of some work.  The night was real cold, but the lights were beautiful enough to warrant traipsing around in the dark getting sore feet for an evening in order to try and capture them.

I took all these shots on whatever platforms that I came across on my travels that could hold my camera steady enough for a 30 second exposure at f11.  I retained these settings for pretty much all  of these shots, and I’m pretty happy with the results.

I’m still in Glasgow for the foreseeable so let me know if you like the shots, or if you can think of somewhere else that might be worth photographing whilst I’m still here..

The Big Wheel Overlooking Salthill

Big Wheel Overlooking the Strand in Salthill

 

Here’s one of my favourite shots that I’ve taken of Salthill from a few years ago when they used to put the big wheel up with the rest of the amusements overlooking the seaside.  When the sun was going down there was always some great shots to be taken over the bay when it was still there, but alas now it’s no longer part of the funfair, which is a bit of a shame really.  However, it does lend my photo some added resonance as an archival document of times past, so no complaints really.

If you’d like to look at some more of my photographs or buy them in my shop then just click the photograph above.

Cheers,
