A Dublin Seascape | A tranquil image taken just after a thunderstorm where the clouds are perfectly mirrored in the calmness of Dublin bay, with the chimney stacks of Poolbeg Generating Station in the background.
A Wicklow Landscape | As the sun shines through the trees above and paints the rocks with its dabbled light, the water cascades through small falls at Powerscourt Waterfall in Wicklow.

[/column] [column width=”33%”] For those of you that have been following along with my blog will know that I visited Co Antrim during the Autumn last year. While there I took the opportunity to visit the beautiful Glenariff…
Back to images from my recent trip and here is another image of some tiny mushrooms on a very cold morning in Cavan. These are in fact the same four mushrooms that appeared in a post from 2 weeks ago entitles Early Morning Life. Camera: Canon EOS 5D Mark II Lens: Canon EF 100mm f/2.8…
Both of these images remind me of the famous line from Walter de la Mer’s poem “The Listeners” – Of the forest’s ferny floor. If there is one thing I remember about alliteration from English class in school it’s this one line 🙂 The composition of both images are almost identical in terms of camera position…
And so I continue with the release of images from my recent travels with this image of mushrooms struggling for life on an early frost bitten morning in Cavan. I like the contrast between the colourful but dead leaves and the pale but living mushrooms. The scene offers an interesting contrast, and possibly a contradiction…
This is the second image from my recent trip to Antrim in Northern Ireland. Last week I posted an image of the Giants Causeway. Not too far from where we were staying is the Glenariff Forest Park which has some stunning views of the glen and was fully resplendent in Autumnal colour when we visited.…
On Wednesday last the weather forecast indicated we would have a potentially great sunrise, so I was up early and headed up to a spot I had noticed when I was last shooting up at Lough Tay (and here). Unfortunately I must have been looking at the wrong forecast because when I reached the location…
Another image I’ve pulled up from the archives, this dates back to August 2008 and my trusty old 40D and Sigma lens. The image is taken at a waterfall in Wicklow and is one of my early experiences of using Neutral Density filters with water. Camera: Canon EOS 40D Lens: Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4.5 DC Macro…
I have already posted a series of Floral images over the last couple of weeks on the back of my recent visit to the Japanese Gardens. As I mentioned in my very 1st post along with the gardens the site houses our National Stud and Saint Fiachra’s Garden which offers woodland and lakeside walks. This…
As I discussed in a recent post I took my maps of Dublin and Wicklow out last week 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. Unfortunately a 45min drive and a 3k hike proved to be…
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,…
