This is a group of photographers on Great Western Beach in Newquay on Saturday. It was shot with the supersized lens, the one I loathe carrying around but which still and all gives me great photographs. I have a new monopod for it as well so may be more inclined to use it. Really liked [...]

The Battle for the Bay was on in Dublin this weekend. Normally I’d be down there but this weekend I had too many other things on. So I went to the party last night and spent a couple of hours on the beach. I still got more than 250 photographs to sort through. Most of [...] Michael Schitzhofer in Portimao a couple of years ago at a PKRA invitational. I always liked this shot – this is going to sound grotesque but it was the detail of his open mouth. Pretty sure I couldn’t do this. A lot of work went into turning what was a fairly average colour shot into [...] I think this might be my favourite from Good Friday. It’s not a perfect photograph (I can confirm, for example, that C has ankles for the most part), but there’s just something about it, a bit atmospheric. Photographers like it. Kitesurfers will want to know why he’s not doing a trick. I think this might [...] For reasons which I am not sure I can go into at the moment, I was back on the beach with the camera yesterday. It’s about 6 months since I was shooting kitesurfers and maybe I needed a day like yesterday. This is my friend Mr T, on his brand new board, the Monk. It’s designed [...] Feeling a little lost lately. This seems to be the normal state of affairs for me. Anyway I was going through the archives to see if I could find any nice photographs of surfing (I couldn’t, or at least they just weren’t talking to me) but the last really good surf photography session I did was [...] This photograph is of The Jeannie Johnston and the Irish Coastguard helicopter. It was taken from Dollymount Strand a while back. What I like about it is the olde worlde feeling and the contrast between the old style sailing ship and the helicopter. Okay. Interested in doing this. Also like the look of this. I’m not absolutely certain who is buried under here, although I have my suspicions, and the photograph was taken in Spain so it could, realistically, be anyone. Photographing white water is challenging and it is what got me into photographing the sea in the first place. One of the reasons Dublin sucks is that you haven’t [...] There’s a fairly Mahler-esque feeling around this place lately so I want to drop some colour back in. Happy colour, not dark, dramatic, brooding colours. This was taken in Portugal about 2 and a half years ago – oh god it’s really that long since I did those trips. This one in particular had a big impact [...] This was up on Dancing Shades of Light before that site died last year. I was idly looking at stats on flickr and I discover it’s still the most viewed photograph I have there, now 1500 views plus. I remember when it hit about 800 and I thought, fantastic, nothing is going to beat that [...] |
