Howth…

I’ve been quiet of late for various reasons.

But to tide over the tedium, two shots from Howth.

Dublin Bay from Howth Head, lost one day.

Harbour life.

Beaches

I now have an ebook up on the site which has 25 pictures of Irish beaches. The link is here and you are more than welcome to have a look at it. It is in pdf format and as advance working, it is a 31 MB file.

As a taster, here is a look at Inchydoney [...]

Kitesurfer, Sligo

The May bank holiday saw the kitesurfing bandwagon roll into Rosses Point, a beach I’ve visited, oh, once in my life as far as I can remember.

I like this one. I like a lot of the other shots I took yesterday as well but this one is the (current) standy out one.

Theoretically I was going [...]

Kitesurfing at Sunset, Portugal

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 [...]

Francois Colussi out wide in Sutton

I really haven’t been out taking many kite photographs much for the last year or two, and most of what I have done has been fairly easy for want of a better description with a few key exceptions. This, however, is one of the older photographs, and it dates from about 2007 or 2008 when [...]

Near Lovely Inch, I must leave thee, Co Kerry

Advance apologies – this is superwide. But I think it deserves it, big time. You see, this is what I couldn’t do in Mayo. Pretend to be Ansel Adams.

Welcome to Kerry. While I was on my so-called holidays a couple of weeks ago, I wound up with a plan to go to Dingle. For reasons [...]

the sun would not play ball tonight

It sank behind a line of clouds leaving me with no ball of fire to give benefit to my decision to haul myself across the city and I barely got a pink sky to play with as well.

These are the beacon lights in Dun Laoghaire. The red light is on the East Pier which I [...]

Salthill, Galway.

Another one from the wild trip west yesterday. This one is [currently] my favourite.

I don’t tend to get light like this on the east coast. In fact, the last time I remember shooting anything like this was in Morocco about 3 years ago. I love that photograph too. I’m in the middle of putting plans [...]

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.
