Surf photography…and aspirations.

I don’t specialise in surf photography. In Irish terms, the surf photographer of choice would almost definitely be Paudie Scanlon. I do the odd shot here and there but since I don’t spend much time in the water, it’s almost academic.

This is one of my favourite surf shots that I did take and it’s not [...]

Dun Laoghaire Harbour by night….

Danny has a truly great macro shot here.

Tommie has a fantastic comment on current life in Ireland right here.

I would never have seen either of those two photographs without someone else taking them.

Richard has a beauty here that – in my opinion – belongs on a greetings card. It is just such a classy shot.

ETA: [...]

Dollymount – SW Winds

Taking photographs when the sand is blowing like this is kinda of difficult.

Okay, a couple of things to run down at the moment.

Red Bull Illume is running again. I am under severe pressure for it because I did not realise it was coming up, need to check deadlines and select photographs. I can think of [...]

Sunrise, Killiney II

Another shot from yesterday’s early morning trek to Killiney.

I’m slightly under time pressure so some useful links that I have open in tabs first.

Time lapse kite flying in Phoenix Park Dublin, yesterday.

Sunday morning coffee art. This reminds me I was supposed to look into doing sand drawings. This weekend would have been ideal.

Another time lapse, [...]

Sunset, Bullock Harbour Dalkey

I live in North Dublin. Apparently it’s the sticks but frankly, it has a postcode, the buses are pretty frequent and on average take around 15 minutes to get to town so it qualifies as the city for me.

Last night, suffering from a little “I spend too much time inside in front of my computer”, [...]

Sunrise at White Rock Beach, Killiney

I’ve come to the conclusion that Dalkey is a vortex out of which it’s hard to find your way, particularly if you are looking for Killiney.

Late last night, Darragh Sherwin contacted me and suggested I join him and Paula Banks for a sunrise shoot in Killiney. Despite the fact that it was around 11pm when [...]

After Dark, Clontarf I

I think this made it onto dsl before dsl died.

Let’s skip the details. The picture depicts Dublin’s twin towers, from Clontarf coastal walk. Very nice walk it is too. You get to look at Dublin Port through the mask of boats connected to Clontarf Yacht Club.

Anyway.

Some useful stuff:

Via boards.ie: Useful info for photographers. I like [...]

Shell High Rock, Portmarnock

This photograph was one of the main reasons I eventually capitulated and started looking at macro photography more seriously.

I’d like to apologise in advance for the 1024 pixel width. I think the photograph probably merits it.

I’ve been running file back ups as anyone who follows me on twitter or FaceBook will be aware. I’m almost [...]

Lying in the Sand I

Sometimes I think I must be crazy. I went to the beach today to go kitesurfing but the wind swung around. I was to see about some flashlit photography but that didn’t happen either. But there was a strong off shore wind which alos sent sand all over the place.

So I lay in the sand [...]

Detritus – Dollymount

Someone told me that it was quite an achievement to make rubbish and refuse look beautiful. I wanted – at the time that I shot this – to create something a little different – yes I knew I was going to be taking photographs of piles of rubbish but I wanted to create as big [...]
