The Cherry Drive The iconic Cherry Drive with it's wonderful avenue of Cherry Blossom trees in bloom on a crisp April morning. My main challenge in making this image was to have the location without the throng of walkers that visit it every morning combined with some mist to soften the scene and diffuse that early morning light. Thankfully, I had such a morning for a wonderfully colourful and evocative scene.

The Meeting of the Waters Tucked in behind Dinis Cottage, this wonderful spot is the point where all three lakes of Killarney converge. I had waited a long time to get early morning light on the old weir bridge but soon realised it's always in shade and so had to settle for some dramatic mid shower light on the bank opposite me.

Skellig Moon II The iconic Skellig Islands , off the west coast of Kerry with an April full moon setting in the morning. The once in a lifetime perfect image that took three years and 16 failed attempts to make is by far the most popular image sold in the gallery. This was made just before sunrise in April at 6.13 am as the moon sits just two degress above the horizon. It is the lowest I have witness the moon setting and is coloured yellow as most of the white light is filtered out as it travels through more atmosphere at that elevation. It was still quite dark so a 1 second exposure was required which gives the breaking wave that blurred effect. I had underexposed slightly to ensure the details of the moon were not blown out and used a hard graduated filter over the lens to make sure and balance the exposure. Often dismissed as a 'photoshopped' image.. I haven't grown tired of explaining it to visitors and reliving that wonderful morning again and again !

After a weeks heavy rain and storms I returned to Killarney National Park's Ross Island to find the levels of the lake had risen so much that all the paths were submerged under water, completely altering the landscape. With careful driving and a pair of waders I enjoyed photographing this area and noticed this piece of driftwood placed perfectly in the reflections. The next day the water levels had dropped significantly and the entire scene looked completely different.

Uragh Stone Circle in the Gleninchaquin Valley on the Beara Peninsula most likely predates the great pyramids in Egypt and similar structures are dotted all around the country. The southwest of Ireland has some of the highest concentrations of megalithic sites in Europe and this location with the Gleninchaquin Waterfall in the background is typically spectacularly scenic.

Last Light, Lough Leine A long exposure of 5 minutes after sunset on Lough Leine, Killarney National Park. During the exposure the water and clouds blur and you only see the final result once the exposure has completed. My favourite part of long exposure work is the time you have during exposures when you can do nothing else but relax, look around and take it all in !

An iconic tourist destination and a wonderful place to visit any time of the year. I photographed this scene in winter, during a break in a cycle of storms on a rare still morning which afforded me the perfect reflections in the water to make this composition work perfectly. In winter time the grasses die off and lighten in colour, giving a more interest contrast against the dark rock.

A beautiful location but on an overcast day with very little light, you really only have one option and that is for a long exposure. This is a 3 minute exposure of this iconic little jetty giving a lovely sense of stillness and balance.

Ross Castle , Lough Leine I will often go to great lengths to exclude buildings and man made structures from my landscape work but everyone now and again they can't be left out. Ross Castle was photographed for my book project PARKLIGHT - Images of Killarney National Park, as it's an iconic part of the built heritage of the park. I didn't want to just photograph the castle though, I wanted to show it within the context of the surrounding landscape and so choose to photograph it from across the lake on a winter's afternoon with the right amount of low light and cloud separating the mountains behind. The little ducks were a bonus !

I'm surrounding by a wild and dramatic landscape that can sometimes be quite overwhelming and almost too much too photograph ! On mornings like this when a low fog softens the entire landscape and isolates wonderful details it's a great treat to be able to make quieter more reflective images. This is near Derrycunnihy on the Upper Lake in Killarney National Park, taken from a boat after travelling up along the Long Range from Muckross, one of the great water journeys you can do anywhere in Ireland.

Most definitely one of the best drives you can do anywhere in Ireland. You drive through the heart of the Beara Peninsula, with it's distinctive mountainous landscape all around you as the road winds it's way around crags and passes, emerging to a dramatic view from the top which ever direction you travel in.

The area known as Lamb’s Head at Caherdaniel is a beautiful and dramatic place to explore. Winter or Summer, the sunsets here can be glorious, but I prefer winter time when the lack of many other visitors gives the place a very special feeling when exploring it.
