Last year, when I was in London, I mostly stayed in the South Bank area, but still managed to get some decent photos, as it's always fascinating along there: boats on the Thames all day, and at low tide, people down on the foreshore hunting through the stones for treasure!

Ireland has a fjord. Killary Harbour in Connemara looks like it belongs in Norway, right up until a sheep wanders across the road in front of you. Still one of my favourite trips close to home.

Had the idea for an “autumn in the city” photography video for about three years. Finally went out and made it on a few good days around Dublin.

One of the things I've learned over the years is that when I see a boring scene or bad light, I view the potential image rather than what's literally in front of me. This one from Sandymount looked dull straight off the camera, but some careful editing brought out its potential

I feel like I’ve slipped into an alternate reality or something. That everyone is going “this looks amazing” is breaking me. I mean it just looks like 💩 to me but I just give up at this point. Why does everything have to be blurred and on top of everything else now at Apple? What was wrong with seeing the full artwork? Is this all a ploy to ruin everyone’s vision so that can sell them smart glasses in the future?

Last time I was in Glendalough the drive down was all fog and the walk started in drizzle. Then the mist lifted at the upper lake and the sun lit up the copper-coloured rocks in the water. Worth the wet start.

A quick Autumn colour grading trick in Lightroom is to use the global wheel in the Colour Grading panel to warm up the image. It's the last icon at the top of the panel; it gives a different result than using white balance and can be good for a dramatic effect!
