Well after much procrastination I mean careful thought & planning I eventually got around to making some fairly sweeping changes to johndunnephotography.com. For anyone that frequents this site you might have noticed the changes rolled out over the last month or so, and while there is quite a few items left on the to-do list…
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.
While we are having some glorious Spring weather here in Ireland I decided to take a trip out to Glenmacnass Waterfall near Laragh in Co Wicklow. If you have seen any of my images of the upper lake in Glendelough you might have noticed this waterfall in the background. The top image is taken from…
Sunrise in Phoenix Park, Dublin, Ireland with a tree stump in the forground and tress and fields in the background. 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.
Spring is here! That means I get to do one of my favorite things, photograph flowers. This image was captured in our Botanical Gardens here in Dublin where so much life has begun to bloom.

This is from the same recent trip to Glendelough, Co Wicklow that I described in the “Just Before Dark” Images. However this was several hours earlier. We still have the same overcast sky with pockets of harsh light penetrating some of the area’s with lighter cloud area. When shooting this image I had Black &…
This is from a recent dusk shoot in Glendelough, Co Wicklow. It was a very overcast day but we did get very short moments of some clearing sky. The light was dropping off very quickly once the sun fell behind the left side of the mountain so there was very little time for set-up. Fumbling…
Not your typical image from me. Our little photogroup set the monthly assignment as ‘Smoke’ for February. Shot using incense burning on a small table with a black background. Strobe to the left with a snoot and a reflector on the opposite side. Fairly narrow Aperture to increase depth of field and strobe on full…

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…
This image was taken during a recent walk in our local park. The snow was still on the ground and the park was full of parents with their young children running around playing and having snowball fights. And perched quietly just beneath a tree was this little fellow, weighed down by the tiny little piece…
[column width=”54%” padding=”3%”] A snow covered dawn scene looking out across Blessington lakes. [/column] [column width=”43%”] 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…
