Portrane beach
It’s amazing how often I drive straight past Portrane beach on my way to Tower Bay and ignore it’s potential for seascape images. Tonight I did just the same, but realised it was probably my best bet given the sea state and weather, and the fact that tower bay was crowded due to the unexpected…

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!

A winter scene…

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!!

Shooting rocks…
On the seafront near where I live there is a cliff walk with interesting rock formations I’ve been trying to do justice for the last couple of years. To be honest most of the time I amble across these rocks I’m leaving the beach or cliffs after earlier shots and have missed the best light. …

A good start
This year ended well for me photographically, with the above image receiving an IPF Judges Medal in the landscape category in the recent 2nd Cork International Salon of Photography. I received 8 acceptances from the 12 images I submitted. So after only two months of entering FIAP salons I have received 38 acceptances which puts…

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…
