Dunluce Sunset

29/07/2024 Bob McEvoy

On Thursday, 25th July 2024, Janette and I were travelling along the road between Bushmills and Portrush, in Co.Antrim – the fabulous Causeway Coast, that makes our wee country one of the most scenic destinations in the world. As we approached the ruins of Dunluce Castle, – perched on top of a rocky outcrop, – I saw the possibility of a silhouette, and pulled over, parking the car on the white lines, and walked over to the side of the road,

The sun was setting over the Atlantic Ocean, away to my right, but the sky was red, and the castle mostly in shadow. I set the Fujifilm X-T5 to f/5 @ 1/100th second on ISO 250. I usually shoot on Acros Film Simulation, and RAW simultaneously, so I had the RAW file to colour process in Lightroom.

Millport, on the little Isle of Cumbrae has a hidden gem – hidden because the Cathedral of the Isles can be really hard to find, buried behind a forest of mature trees, and, at least from that angle, approached by a steep path and steps. But it is a worthwhile walk.

Cranes in Tandem

23/03/2024 Bob McEvoy

It’s not often that the two cranes at Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast are so close together. Samson and Goliath are both at the same end of the dry dock, to allow a ship with a huge mast to be repaired.

Photographed with the Nikon FM3a Camera, Underexposed by 2 stops. on Ilford FP4, and developed in Ilfosol3 for 4.25 minutes.

Motorcycle and Sidecar

24/02/2024 Bob McEvoy

I was making a photograph of the Crosskeys Inn, Co.Antrim, when this motorbike and sidecar roared past me, – a rare opportunity to capture a rare mode of transport these days! No time to adjust the camera, so the existing settings had to do – and thankfully they were fine.
