My favs of 2019

View from the top of Geokaun Mountain, looking out to Bengish Island (Cromwell Point Lighthouse below). Co.Kerry, Ireland. I cooked dinner and camped (car camped, post on that soon!) here. Unfortunately the clouds closed in once it got dark and heavy rain followed!

O'Brien's Tower, Cliff of Moher, Co.Clare. I was doing a housesit about 40mins away so was great to be able to get over for some post sunset shots on a lovely calm and cloudless evening.

Another car campint trip, this time to Waterford. Some lovely skies just after sunset.

I was going to spend the night here, but the tide was getting close so I retreated to the car!

I love the Skellig Islands!

A couple of great shoots last year with Leah for Cotton Threadz clothing. This was in Ebony Rose Interiors, lost of great wallpapers and couches for shots.

Bull Island is my favourite spot in Dublin, and I think this was finally the day that our Summer started!

O'Brien's Tower again, with what star constellations I couldn't tell you!

Ballydowane again. Me thinking I'm out of shot doing some light painting.

Cliff's of Insanity

Ladies bike at the gents bathing shelter.

Winter sunsets at Bull Island can be the best there are, this was a couple weeks before the Winter Solstice.

The unpoluted night skies of The Burren.

First snow of 2016

We've had storms flooding for a number of weeks and a fairly mild winter, but this weekend we had a particularly cold spell and I heard the Wicklow Mountains got some snow. So I headed up, unfortunately there had been a lot of traffic up so the roads were pretty clear, but the surrounding area was still looking good. Would have preferred some blue skies to the fog!

When I arrived I was very happy to see all the trees were still standing with the fierce winds we've had over the last couple months.

One of my favourite spots in the Wicklow Mountains, but first time I've been here in the snow.


A stones throw from the above photo, not many trees in this spot at all.


This little fella was on a wall on the lower end of the drive and was just holding on as most snow around him had already melted.

My favourites of 2015

A lone exposure up Sally Gap. I love Sally Gap, especially when you get a clear sky. It gets so dark up here you can great shots of the stars and with the light pollution you can get great silhouettes too. Luckily a meteorite just about made it into the shot.

This is a fav just as much for the memory taking it as the photo itself. It was a long exposure so actually even darker than this looks. I was shin deep in the water so as to avoid some rocks & grass closer to me. All around me all I could here was deers fighting & mating. Very eerie, very cool!


I love Carnsore Point down at the bottom tip of Wexford. I've been down a few times to photograph the wind turbines, but the last few times these lads weren't around. They were very eager to get to me, not sure if angry or friendly, haha, but they were very obliging for a few photos!


I'm really looking forward to doing more on this project with Dublin artist Paul Duffy (https://www.facebook.com/duffysdastardlydoodles). He will be inserting his wonderful creations into my photos. This a little sneak peek.


Another one from Sally Gap, the weather is so harsh up here even the trees (theres actually only four trees within a few kilometres here!) submit to the weather and go with the flow!


Áine at (the 13th) Dublin Tattoo Convention last Halloween. It was the first time I've had all the lighting gear out in five years.

Vartry Reservoir. A prefect sky at sunset to catch the water that comes out of my taps back home!


Sick Of It All. I've been listening to these New Yorkers from 20 years, seen them a load of times, videoed them a couple times, but this was my first time photographing them - with the little Fuji which did a great job with the low light.


Pigeon House / Poolbeg power station. Its no longer in use and the council keeps threatening to demolish the stacks. But these stacks can be seen from so many places around Dublin I hope they stay. I was scouting locations for a shoot.


Plane trails usually wreck a photo, but this one was more solid than they usually look, so it made it through the deletion process!


And Sally Gap again. I love this tree, reminds my of something from a magical movie. Its sits along side a stream (maybe one that makes up the Liffey), with the sun back lighting and coming through the leaves made it perfect for me.

Two days in to 2016, light & clouds haven't been kind and yet to take a photo!
