Sunset Over Dollymount – Dublin, Ireland
An image from a visit last year to Dollymount Strand and Bull Island. I have already posted some of dusk images I captured on the evening but thought it worthwhile to also post this sunset image. I was fascinated by the patterns the channels made in the sand during low tide. I walked around the [...]
Reflections of Sunrise – Howth, Dublin, Ireland
Well here’s something a little different for me, a vertical pano. I remember seeing Peter Lik’s imagery for the first time when I visited one of his Galleries in Port Douglas, Australia. There, I saw these 3 meter tall 1 meter wide astonishing images and I was left gob-smacked. I new I wanted to try [...]
One from the Archives | Rays Of Light – Maratea, Italy
With the launch of my new site I decided to start digging in to my archives and share with you images that I have never blogged about before and therefore have not had the chance to share some of the back story. To kick things off I present ‘Rays Of Light’ which is one of [...]
Sunrise upon the Rocks – Howth, Dublin, Ireland
Mad! At least that’s what my wife calls me. A 3am rise and 45 minute drive brought me to Howth Summit again, after my visit in January. I knew this was a spot worth visiting again and it didn’t let down. This image was captured at a small inlet beneath the lighthouse and was a [...]
Sunrise in Phoenix Park, Dublin
This was in fact my first photographic trip to Phoenix Park, but it definitely won’t be the last. For those of you that may not know the Phoenix Park is the largest enclosed urban park in Europe and the home of our president, oh and also our Zoo. While driving to the spot for this [...]
Sunrise Over Howth – Howth, Co Dublin
This image was taken a couple of weeks ago in Howth. A glorious start to a new day with few clouds in the sky. I had to trample over knee high brambles to get in position for this shot, my legs were cut to shreds. I think it was worth though. I used a CPL [...]
A New Dawn – My 1st Image of 2010
I had really hoped to shoot this sunrise on Jan 1st but unfortunately the weather here in Ireland was just too bad. Never the less I faced the freezing conditions on Sunday 3rd and hit the road at 6am geared up with winter clothes, flask of coffee and a hip flask for a nip of [...]
Sunset Over the Mountains – Adrigole , Co Cork
I was lucky enough to spend a long weekend down near both the ring of Kerry and Beara recently. The first day took me halfway around the Ring of Beara up to Dursey Island. The weather didn’t play nice for the entire day and I had pretty much given up hope and started to head [...]
Calm Waters – Orihuela, Spain
Another image from my recent trip to Spain, this was taken during Sunset at the Embalse de la Pedrera reservoir near Orihuela. I was very lucky to get any shot from this trip, in fact I was lucky to bring my camera home in one piece. The banks of the reservoir were like quicksand, I [...]
Sunrise on the Promenade – Torrevieja, Spain
A 5am start to any day is never easy, even harder when you’re on holidays. But when the day starts like this, that early rise and one hour drive is all worthwhile. This was taken along the Promenade in Torrevieja in the south of Spain just as the sun was cresting the water. You can [...]
Sunset Over Lough Tay, Co Wicklow
I ventured up to Wicklow on the advise of an avid walker who described this region as reminiscent of Vietnam, with it’s rolling hills fading into a misty background. It was a very windy evening and I was very exposed to the elements during these shots but I think it was worth it. I hope [...]
Glorious Light – Skerries, Co Dublin
The 6am start was most definitely worth it on this occasion. Although I actually made it by the skin of my teeth as the clocks went forward by 1 hour on Sunday and my alarm woke me at 6am rather then 5am. By the time I made it to Skerries the sun was just minutes [...]
A round of updates
It’s been a little too long since I provided an update as I have been busy playing with some new toys, namely a 2nd hand Canon 17-40 f/4 L Lens I picked up a few weeks ago and a new Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro Lens that I got a great deal on in John Gunn’s. [...]
More Sunset Photographic Experiments
After my first attempt at a sunset during my new Sigma Lens trials I decided to give it another go. This time I popped down to Dun Laoghaire to try a Seascape sunset. Given the time of year though the sun sets over the city rather then the sea. Added to that there was heavy [...]
