Day 66
Low tide in Dingle Bay, and a very eerie fog clinging to everything. I took some shots of the bay, but they came out quite underexposed and lifeless. This bottle neck in the mud however looked quite good. Again, I took it in colour, but converted it to a duotone to give it a richness that was lacking in B&W.

Day 65
Weather, weather, weather. Living in Ireland means you are surrounded by weather. And what a lot of it there's been today. I think that this photograph captures the Irish summer so far in a single image. A cloudy sky reflected in a puddle, all facilitated by a brief appearance by the sun.

Day 64
It's getting difficult now to find ways of creatively portraying rain. I thought that a composition similar to yesterday's would work nicely: this is a mini flood pouring over the kerb and onto the path around my apartment.

Day 63
Back in Dublin and the sun is shining. I saw this door in the Powerscourt Townhouse and, put simply, I loved the way the light and shadows hit it. The thing about this blog is that I'm starting to photograph images I like that previously I wouldn't. That means it's already successful.

Day 62
Rain rain rain. That's all I seem to see these days. I drove down this side road to catch an image I saw yesterday, and the rain was so hard I couldn't get out of the car. So, instead, I opted for an abstracted view of the road.

Day 61
Looking for a different view of Dingle I ventured down the charmingly named Golf Road. The tide was very high, and this jetty was straining to remain above water. A different view of the town, but sadly with the ubiquitous rain clouds.

Day 60
This falling down house is just outside Dingle on the road to Ventry, and it is currently in use as a cowshed. I love it's decrepit character. I took the shot in colour, then converted it to black and white in Photoshop. Then I converted to a Duotone using black and orange as the colours before converting it back to RGB in order to save it as a JPEG.
