In 2008 I made the move from my entry level Canon 400D to a 40D and later that year I invested in some LEE filters, according to my post last year that was a big change 🙂 It’s always interesting to read back things you wrote a year ago. This year I swapped the 40D…
Well somewhat of an unplanned hiatus for me from an image point of view. I can’t believe it is nearly 2 months since I last produced an image. It’s not like I don’t have a fair few shots I’d like to work on and publish. Anyway I am back now 🙂 This is another image…
Well true to his word Garry got the kit posted off sharpish and it arrived into me yesterday morning. As luck would have it they sold out of the 140x70cm Softbox but they should have them in before Christmas and Garry promised to get it sent over as soon as it arrives. Anyway I think…
Well I have been hemming and hawing for many months about investing in some lighting equipment and branching out into Portrait work. I spent a lot of time researching and set up a few model shoots to get a feel for this type of work. I also was a regular at the excellent strobist.com site…
This was taken in the tiny village of Sneem along the Ring of Kerry. It’s not often I get a chance to shoot rushing water so I’ll always go out of my way when the opportunity arises, even if that means risking a dunking climbing over slippery rocks with my gear held over head. This…
This image was captured just moments before my recently uploaded panoramic “View Across The Water”. I love the contrast between the sheep in the foreground happily grazing while this incredible vista lies behind them.

Well I decided an update was needed to freshin’ up my Blog. As usual I’ve gone with a very minimal look with a simple colour pallete to ensure there is nothing to distract from my images. However this is a fairly significant departure from the bright whites and grays of the previous layout, leaning more…
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…
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…
Another image from my recent trip to Spain, this was take in an Olive Orchard. Taken while the sun was at it’s peak there was way too much contrast to produce a colour image. However as so often when shooting at this time of day that high-contrast can produce a striking Black & White. I…
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…
