Small and Insignificant
12th March 2013
I spent a lovely evening yesterday. The Mayo Photographic Club meeting was in the evening, and club member and extraordinary wildlife photographer Kevin Murphy, was leading a workshop on macro photography. that was great fun. Why not have a look at Kevins website to see his work.

If you do visit, leave him a message, us artists are all the same, we love to get feedback!
On my way to the club, I was thinking it was such a clear night, and we have not had one for ages, that maybe I should not go to the club , but instead go for some lightpainting ,night pictures. Anyway I was glad I went, but on leaving the club at 10pm I thought "the night is young" I will go and visit Burrishoole Abbey and also Rockfleet Castle. I did mention to a couple of other members that I was going to make the trip, in the hopes that I might have some company, but people just looked at me with that "this guy is a bit mad" look on their faces !
It was the perfect night because there was no moon, yesterday the moon rose at about 6am and set again at 6pm!! the lack of a moon meant that the stars were much more visible. In this picture of Rockfleet castle I wish I could have shown you more stars. Honestly to stand in the one spot look up and turn 360degrees to see the whole sky was just incredible, we are so small and insignificant !!
