A Bee study
Nigel Borrington
The Irish National Biodiversity Data Centre is one of the best resources you can get, if you want to do some wildlife photography.
You can use the on-line map to find the locations of any wildlife you are looking for.
This is the link for Bees and it contains plenty of valuable information, you can also log your own personal findings by setting up an account and adding your own data.

Titanic Museum, Cobh, County Cork
Irish Landscape Photography : Nigel Borrington
This small pier that now looks well past its best days, helped transport one hundred and twenty three passengers from the white star line booking hall at Cobh/queenstown county cork on to small ferry’s and then on to the HMS Titanic before she set sail to New York.
This is the list of Titanic Passenger boarding at queenstown (11 April 1912 a:10:30am d:13:40pm) on that day. While visiting the museum and Pier you cannot help but feel the moment when these people boarded their boats and looked back at the harbour of Queenstown as they headed towards the Titanic. At the time of course they were only looking forward to a new life or the great experiences that they had ahead of themselves.
We however cannot help but view these moments in a different light….
In the above passenger listing, If the passenger survived the events that followed they are listed in the boat number that they were found in, if they didn’t they are listed as a body or if they were not found they have no entry in the last two columns.

Irish Landscape Photography : Nigel Borrington
Croaghlin Teelin, is one of County Donegal’s most iconic landscape images. The cliff and coastal views appears in many tourist websites and tourist office publications.
There is a long walk up the stone path to get the best views, but it is well worth the effort.
If you are visiting Donegal, Croaghlin is near Carrick and past Killybegs.

Sunday Evening in Tipperary
I love Sunday evenings at this time of year, we go out to walk the dog and just take our time to let the last hours of the weekend pass us by.
I love to stop for a little and just take in the views, camera in hand to record these still moments. Not even a tractor is moving ……

I took these images back in 1986, with my then first SLR camera a Nikon fm2n, we were holidaying on a long boat that you can see in the second photo, for a week.
From what I can remember I don’t think we had one day without it raining and spent most of the time in the boat in front of a fire or in a pub drying out, its funny, at the same time you remember moments like this with great fondness!
This set of images has also reminded me to get back on track for my DIY film development project, I made a few phone calls and just need to go collect everything that I finally need to get on.

Kite Flyer,Bunmahon Beach, county waterford
Landscape photography by kilkenny based photographer : Nigel Borrington
I first displayed this image as part of a photography exhibition about six years ago, It was taken on a very wet day on the beach and it was a pleasure to work with about five Kite flyers for the day. Keeping the camera dry was a skill I had to learn very quickly…..
