Nighttime Dublin 2012
This shot was part of a commercial shoot, back in 2012, to illustrate lighting facilities on railway platforms. It was originally shot in colour, and with a much wider angle, but to satisfy my black and white obsession, and to focus more upon the people in the shot rather than the original commission, I desaturated it in Photoshop (actually in Camera Raw) and cropped the image to achieve a more people orientated image. Did it work?
Photographed with a Nikon F700, F=24mm, f/16 @ 1 second exposure, on ISO3200. The camera was on a tripod.
Royal Enfield Classic 350
A modern classic
I found this 2022 built motorcycle parked in Belfast today, – and I was transported back in my mind to the early 1970’s when I rode a Royal Enfield, – not dissimilar in style and shape to this beauty.
Holy Trinity, Portrush
Holy Trinity Church Of Ireland, Main Street, Portrush, Co.Antrim.
Photographed with the 20 year old Nikon FM3a film camera on Ilford HP5, ISO400, and developed in Ilfosol 3.
The Portrush Tuk Tuk
No, I’m not abroad on an exciting holiday in the far east.
This tuk tuk is parked outside the Port Hotel in exotic Portrush. Photographed with the Nikon FM3a film camera on Ilford HP5, ISO400
The Nikon FM2
Another glimpse into my camera collection: the Nikon FM2.
This classic camera has been in my possession since 1987, when I bought it new in the camera shop in Lisburn for £350, my first ‘real’ camera.
The FM2 was first made in 1984, and was the replacement for the Nikon FM; a mid-range camera aimed at the enthusiast and semi-pro photographer. (The Nikon F3 was the professional’s choice).

For a lighthearted Saturday evening…
No, I don’t normally take photographs in public toilets, but today I was alone, and I couldn’t resist a quick snap with the iPhone! Don’t try this though – you could get arrested.
Don’t let those noisy hands go without a dryer!
Westbourne Street
Westbourne Street in east Belfast is now hardly a street at all! A dead-end with no houses or buildings of its own, – now terminated prematurely by the railings of a local FE College.
I stopped there and parked, on a day when I had a few minutes to kill before an appointment, and got out to make a few images, with the help of the Nikon FM3a and a roll of Ilford HP5 (ISO400)

Holy Trinity and St Silas
This church is situated at the top of Oldpark Road, in Belfast, and it caught my eye when I was driving down Ballysillan Park, right towards it.
I love the way the Castlereagh Hills in the background give this image a sense of depth and perspective.
Photographed with the Nikon F100 film camera, on Ilford Delta 100.
Randalstown Churches
The Old Congregation Presbyterian Church
This historic building dates back to 1655, when a presbyterian congregation was founded on the site on the Portglenone Road; that building replaced in 1790, at a cost of £600. On the hill behind the OC Church is the St Brigid’s Church of Ireland Church, Drumaul Parish.
I’ve been trying for years (literally!) to get a photograph of this building – and I’ve been thwarted in the past by parked cars in the lay-by in front of the church, so when I was passingly a few days ago, and saw it carless, I did a quick u-turn and got the camera out before someone parked!
Photographed with the Nikon F100, on Ilford FP4 ISO125.
