Mindful Discoveries Through My Lens
Youghal, Co. Cork - Photo Walk
My family asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday. Being a rather simple person, I replied let’s take a Sunday drive and get some ice cream and take a walk. We haven’t visited Youghal, County Cork, Ireland yet, so that is where I chose to head off towards. I enjoy visiting Irish coastal villages and towns. The smell of the fresh sea air, and often quite calm, especially on Sundays. I didn't expect it to be as calm as Youghal turned out to be, with nearly everything closed on Sundays.
Dunmore East Harbour Photo Experience
I absolutely love when I can escape in the morning for a photo walk before I get started with work. On this beautiful sunny, but very windy spring morning I headed out to capture Dunmore East Harbour, County Waterford, Ireland. I had hoped to get out a bit earlier to catch more fishing activity around the harbour, but I am not a morning person. That said, I don’t think there was much activity that morning. There were plenty of the boats tied up pier side.
Twilight Photo Walk — Waterford City Centre
I dropped my son off at Waterford Youth Arts Film Workshop, which he attends each week. What is nice about this time of year, being it runs from 7:30 - 9:00 PM, is I can wander around and take twilight photos while he is in the workshop. I was going to film some video of my photo walk, but I kind of just got in a groove of taking photos. In this instance with the low light, I was concerned about spending more time working with filming the video, than taking the photos. That said, I plan to practice with video at night so it is more intuitive than stumbling through it.
Here are some photos from my Waterford City Centre twilight photo walk.
