About this image

This is another one of my Blackrock baths photos, taken underneath the seating at the baths. It is an amazing scene of weathered concrete and plaster, covered in graffiti. The place oozes with character ironically brought alive while in a state of decay. Again it was an incredibly difficult photo to capture. Like my photo Graffitied Walls, Blackrock Baths I had to return on several occasions to get a shot I was a happy with. I actually wanted a sunrise and sunset version, both where the diving platform should be illuminated by the warm sunlight, The tide needed to be out in both instances to get the capture I needed and the light had to be just perfect and at the right time. Easier said than done. This was the only spot under the seating where I could get all the elements coming together perfectly - the light, the platform, Howth Head. the horizon, and most importantly the amazing beams radiating above me. Unbelievably I managed to get the sunrise shot the next morning. I think it was worth the wait.


Radiating beams, Blackrock Baths at Sunset  received a Diamond award in 2012 IPPA photographer of the year awards. A Diamond is the highest possible award you can receive from the IPPA
