Back a few years ago, when myself & my friend Cormac set up a mini version of the Hadron Collider under a bridge by the river Dodder. This is how I learnt how to take long exposure photographs…
@Obong
I had the pleasure to photograph my friends Ailish Drake & Conor Hourigan’s beautiful Sightsavers Gairdín na gCéadfaí today at #Bloom2022, designed sensitively for those who live with visual impairment A beautiful way to spend an afternoon…I wish them the best with it
@Obong
Had a nice little preview of Bloom this afternoon, in glorious sunshine…it’s looking good for the weekend.
@Obong
The view towards Ballyvaughan from the top of Corkscrew Hill…such an incredible landscape.
@Obong
Night, night Poulnabrone. It’s seen over five thousand years of sunsets from this Burren limestone plateau. I’m glad to have witnessed this one…
@Obong
Night, night Bloom. Better get some sleep, you’ve a busy weekend ahead of you…

At the base of Mount Brandon, a stream makes its way down to Brandon Creek.

I walked outside and saw this off to the west…it was a moment. #Ireland #Clare
@Obong
Another from a beautiful evening in the Burran, with a crescent moon setting in the west…

Poulnabrone, the oldest dated megalithic monument in Ireland. It has stood here, on this limestone Burren plateau, for well over 5,000 years.
@Obong
Bumped into some rambunctious young bucks over the weekend…thankfully it was all settled amicably in the end.
@Obong

I’ve been going back through a lot of my older photos recently…working towards something that’s long overdue. Here’s one of the 1st photos that made me think more seriously about photography; it’s of my daughter in St. Michan’s, on one of our many rambles…

The corner of John Dillon Street & Dillon Place South. In 1911 Jane Hughes, a widow by the age of 34, lived here with her 5 children and 2 other relatives.
@Obong
When I started taking long exposure shots in the city, I used to be fascinated with the trails that lights from passing traffic would make in the compositions…like this car, as it turned onto Pembroke St. Upper from Quinn’s Lane
@Obong
I was passing the time of day with old Troy of the DMP at the corner of Arbour hill and be damned but a bloody sweep came along and he near drove his gear into my eye. I turned to let him have the weight of my tongue when who should I see dodging along StonyBatter only Joe Hynes

I went to Sandymount to try catch the full moon rising over Dun Laoghaire this evening, but thick cloud cover put paid to those plans. At least there was a nice sunset in the opposite direction… #Ireland #Dublin
@Obong
A lovely surprise to see this back on the Irish Times website today, filmed about a year and a half ago on the streets of #Stoneybatter…with huge thanks again to @BryanJOBrien 🙌 irishtimes.com/video/culture/… #Dublin #Ireland #nightwalkdublin

@Obong
One of my favourite places to photograph; Looking west on Moira Road; seemingly it’s the only ‘Road’ in the city with no hall doors on it…it’s all gable ends. #Ireland #Dublin #Stoneybatter #nightwalkdublin #stoneybatterfestival22
@Obong
The calm before the storm. I think Ben is a little worried… #Dublin #Stoneybatter #stoneybatterfestival22
