It’s now reached the 10th Anniversary, and as always was a brilliant event. I’m posting some photos taken yesterday – and this time I’m concentrating on some of the performers who took part. I’ll have more photos on my website later, and will add a link here.

Dun Laoghaire FOWC 2010

I’ve been going to this ever since it started and have been an occasional volunteer and regular photographer there. It’s always a great festival, and I’m looking forward to going along again this year.

(Update – FOWC 2010 photos added now – click here )

I can’t really have a post without a photo, so here’s some pictures of Dun Laoghaire Harbour taken last night. It was a beautiful clear night, with some lovely light in the sky as the sun set. I didn’t have my tripod with me, so all these are taken handheld (or resting the camera against one something along the pier) :
