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…

Seascape Blending and Editing Workflow
I’ve finally recorded a short video of my general workflow to blend some action from multiple seascape images into one final image like the one shown above I took this morning. The sun never appeared, but the high tide and breaking waves made an interesting vista all the same.

Golden Dawn
The busier I get, the stronger my desire to get out and take pictures.  With a focus on local seascapes I was determined this weekend to expand my usual locations and find some new vistas to capture my imagination. The cliff walk from Portrane to Corballis beach to the south has great views over the…

When the sun does not shine…
It seems like the sun will not shine this week, but the melancholy mood needs to be recorded. I listened to the forecast last night and thought I might just catch a glimpse on sunrise before storm Barney hit Ireland today. A thin opening in the cloud cover was closing fast beyond Lambay when I…

Winter Seascapes
I felt somewhat guilty over the summer seeing other photographers posting sunrise photos of the Irish Sea, obviously taken many hours before my head left the pillow each morning. So now with winter setting in and a more respectable 7am sunrise, the prospect of getting to the beach these morning has been more manageable. Not…

Golden Gate , Part 2
On Saturday morning I was up at 4:30am with my bags packed for the airport to return home later that day to Ireland. First, my second attempt to capture another image of the bridge… Morning light was uneventful from the Marin headland. So shortly after dawn I crossed back over the bridge to see if…

Golden Gate Sunset
So after a busy week of work in California, I managed to make it back up to the city and Baker beach as planned for a sunset shoot of the Golden Gate bridge. I was hoping for fog, but the weather did not play ball. Instead I had to content myself with the view before…

Golden Gate Bridge
Today I’m heading off to California again on a work trip. This time I’m on my own and travelling light. I’d don’t usually bring my camera when doing short work trips, leaving Sunday and back on Saturday, does not leave much time for photography. There’s one icon I’d still like to do justice since I…
