  • Spring Break… Seascape blending video

    Spring Break… Seascape blending video

    This morning I managed to get up early enough to enjoy watching the sunrise over Tower Bay, Portrane.  I knew the tide was low and rising and the sun was going to have a nice reflection on the rocks at my faviourite spot for these conditions.  I probably spent half an hour total taking multiple…

  • Abstract textures

    Abstract textures

    So ambling along in the woods today I inadvertently released the shutter and produced a pleasing abstract image (above).  So I took ten minutes to create a few more slow shutter speed creations while moving the camera in various directions in the forest.  I think the result make a nice collection of textures or maybe…

  • Get your feet wet!

    Get your feet wet!

    Heavy down pour an hour before sunset is clearing to the east.  Will the sun make a final appearance before it set in the west, and light up the clouds from below?  Will I watch the latest Thomas Heaton video, or get off my behind and make the most of a potential gift from nature?……

  • Summer Time Begins

    Summer Time Begins

    The usual way summer TIME is heralded in Ireland is by being late for work after the clocks push forward one hour, without being noticed in an overcast grey world.  Not this weekend!  This weekend we were provided with unbroken sunrise from dawn to dusk. What I tend to forget living on the east coast…

  • Tower Bay Cascades

    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

    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!

    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…

  • Mayo Weekend – Part II

    Mayo Weekend – Part II

    Up at 6am. Look out the window, cloud, and more cloud.  Brain might be slow, but it doesn’t take long to decide to go back to bed!  When I finally get up there is still blanket cloud cover but a glimmer of light on the horizon and the forecast for sunny spells motivates me to…
