After being requested to take some more photos of St. Finbarrs Cathedral in Cork, I got back up there on a cold Saturday morning earlier this month. I arrived just as the gates were being unlocked so thankfully this time the car park was empty. The light was fantastic, ditto the sky and it cast the most wonderful shadows on the building and lit it up in all the right places.
There was/is some work being done on the Cathedral so unfortunately the spires were strewn with cables and a very badly situated scaffolding which is currently hampering my half-assed photoshopping attempts. Still though, the light and the bluer than blue sky more than make up for it.
So, hopefully someone will be happy with a few of the shots I got that morning. Then feeling like I was almost going to lose my left nut to frostbite will all be worthwhile. Just before anyone cries out “Hey, shouldn’t there be more on flickr?”, there are always more on flickr…
Did you take those shots with “Phase 1″ as I like to call it?

Great shots of the cathedral. Definitely worth it to get up early in the day, although it’s a lot easier at this time of the year than in the summer!
I didn’t see your stuff at People’s Photography this year because I was down in Cork, but I was browsing through your gallery on your other site just now. Fantastic stuff. You have an excellent eye for detail.
I think particularly that ‘Inishcarra Dam, Cork’ is one of the best images I’ve ever seen. Just stunning.
Well done!
