Winter in some causes irritation, restlessness that they can’t pinpoint to anything specific. It is the bad weather syndrome. We are less able to change locations during bad weather. COVID-19 is like a bad weather period as restrained us to stay in one location for way to long. Change of perspective in a different way […]

It’s a bit bombastic, I mean, the title. Playing with infras The thing is that few days ago was sunny in Kinsale. Yes, it’s Ireland and sun during winter is not a common occurrence. Well, I took my full spectrum adapted Fuji XA3 and decided to take some infrareds. Usually I was using a really […]

Lights, lots of it It was a crisp evening, not more than 5.30 pm. Sunset is now days at 4.30pm. Short winter days and long, long nights.
