Peoples Photography 2010 – Sat 28th / Sun 29th August
Hard to believe a full year has gone by since the last Peoples Photography Exhibition. This will be my 3rd year exhibiting (2008 & 2009) and it is a weekend I thoroughly enjoy. Once I have made it through the busy week running up to it I find it a weekend of complete relaxation. It…
Yellow on Green
I took my maps of Dublin and Wicklow out yesterday morning to scan for possible new locations to shoot. I came across what appeared, on paper at least, to be a viable Waterfall near Glenmalure named Ess. So I packed my gear and headed out there. An hour later I was pulling into the closest…

Perfect White
This is another image from the back catalog, this time from a visit to the Botanical Gardens in March 2009. One thing I love about photographing flowers in the botanical gardens is that they will always display their names so I can do a little research when I get home. So for instance this flower…
And the mist falls – Valentia Island, Kerry, Ireland
My wife surprised me with a weekend in Kerry for my Birthday last September, more then that it was to be a photography weekend. I know, she’s cool! I have shared a number of images from this particualr location a while ago but I came acorss this image while reviewing my back catalog of work…

Exquisite
The Botanical Gardens here in Dublin is a place I visit regularly (here, here, here, here, here & here). They have an abundance of floral life no matter what time of the year you visit. They have a number of beautiful iron glasshouses that date back to the mid part of the 19th century. One…
One from the Archives | Light in the Forest – Dublin Mountains, Ireland
Another image from the archives although not so far into the hazy past as the last image I shared with you. This was captured during a wander around a forest located in the Dublin mountains in July 2008. I remember being very excited at the time as I was out with my brand new camera,…
Reflections of Sunrise – Howth, Dublin, Ireland
[column width=”63%” padding=”3%”] The sun is just rising over the horizon, sending a warm glow along the sea to the viewer. [/column] [column width=”33%”] 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,…
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.
Glenmacnass Waterfall, Co Wicklow
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…
