Tower Bay Cascades
When mother nature is being an uncooperative lighting assistant, hiding the sunrise behind a bank of clouds, an alternate plan is needed to avoid returning home hungry and empty handed. This morning I settled for the breaking waves of the incoming tide crashing over the rocks in an endless variety of cascading flows. See the…

Storm Barbara
The thoughts of facing an ocean of fresh to storm force winds and torrential rain did not appeal, but the anticipation of a clearing storm and dramatic shoreline taking a pounding did… Since I took time off before Christmas I had enough free time to hatch a plan (the night before). The weather forecast had…

Being there!
This weekend I joined a Trail running group Mud Sweat and Runners (MSR) planning a run around the Macgillycuddy’s Reeks in Kerry. My motivation was of course landscape photography and expanding my horizons. The trip was organised and lead by Jay JuJu Handyside and ended up being a band of 13 runners of various levels…

Many locals dressed in uniform or costume remembering relatives locally involved in 1916. The image below was one of my favuorite portraits of the day. It saddens…

Mayo Weekend – Part I
This weekend I headed west for some landscape photography on the south shore of Lough Mask near Clonbur, straddling the Mayo / Galway boarder. I arrived late Saturday afternoon in time for a sunset shoot. I started with some shots of my favourite submerged tree on the lake which I had not captured in this…

Revisiting the landscape
Never delete images! The above image was taken in 2008, I’m only got to post process it yesterday! Back then I would not have used the same techniques and would not have been as happy with the results. It’s not my favourite image from then, but others seems to like it a lot! I’ve…

Letter Box Landscapes
I’m not usually in the habit of making very wide format images, but recently I’ve been asked to fill walls requiring this format so thought I’d look at some of my landscapes and see how the work. I think i have plenty more images that will work well in this format, so might have to…
