Playa Maro Sunset
This evening I returned to the same beach we enjoyed earlier today to see if the light on the headland held up to it’s earlier promise. When I arrived this time, the shadow from the cliff to the west was already half way down the beach, so I did not hang around at the car…

A Quick Mayo Tour
I drove from Dublin to Clonbur, Co. Galway on Saturday afternoon with no real photography plan. I started with the evening sunset on Lough Mask which didn’t yield great sunset sky, but I managed to try and make the most of what I found. On Sunday morning I decided a hot day sitting in a…

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…

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
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
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…

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…
