February seascapes…
Trying something a little different this month, a seascape with very few elements, looks like something I might hang on a wall for mono colour and slightly abstract. Although the Irish sea is really a morning location for good seascapes at least from the Irish coastline, I only manage to take sunset and twilight shots…

Inspiration
These days when I go into a book shop I spend less time in the photography section than before. I’m looking for inspiration, not technical instruction anymore. It’s not that I couldn’t still use lots of technical instruction, it just is not why I want to pick up a camera and plan a shoot. This…

A winter landscape
Weather forecast was for accumulations of snow in the west… followed within 24 hours by storm “Rachael”. This would have to be quick! When I’m traveling on my own in inclement weather for photos I tend to be conservative and go to places I know and try to capture them with dramatic weather. The alternative…

A winter scene…
I left a frosty Donabate this morning before 7am with high expectations heading for Wicklow for a few wintery scenes (frost will do, given the lack of snow this year so far). The snowy scene shown right is one I’ve re-edited in desperation from 5 years ago!! By the time I reached Bray it was…

Last shots from 2014
It was hard to get out of bed for sunrise over Christmas, instead I finally managed one last sun set shoot to close out my photographic year. Happy New Year!!

A winters tale…
I never planned to subject a model to a cold shed this winter, but when Raphaella was in town, I couldn’t miss the opportunity to see if outside temperature of 1Ëšc was going to render my studio unusable. I think Raphaella is still talking to me:-) Heater’s were used for a few hours before the…

Starting my FIAP distinction journey…
Since I’ve had more free time this year to devote to photography, I started thinking about progressing my distinction beyond the IPF Licentiate and look the the next level Associate (AIPF). But when I looked at my work to date and thought about the panel requirements for the A, I really did not feel I…

Keep looking…
My disappointment last week with the Martello Tower at Corballis beach kept with me all week, so I knew I needed to go back and redeem the location. Stealing the last hour of light on Thursday gave me these satisfying shots from the same location, but different conditions [what’s new!] My bad habits persist…

Liquid Gold
Sometimes the sun just won’t dance! This morning I had the pleasure of being up before 5:30am to drop my daughter off EXTRA early, so I decided to bring my camera and grab a seascape before work. After the storm of the night before and a clearing sky I was sure I’d have a few…

Christelle…
I had the pleasure of hosting and shooting with Christelle last week. Christelle is from Quebec and was starting her month long Euro tour in Ireland last week. I had no real ideas about the shoot, but it wasn’t long before Christelle was making suggestions about outdoor locations and capturing some of the Irish landscape. …
