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.

This Blood Moon rising on April 15, 2014 is as a result of a partial lunar eclipse, which in other parts of the world was a total eclipse. It is a 30 second exposure which should give an indication on how dark the moon actually was as it rose. It was more like a setting sun that I have seen in the far east and despite the cold, was a very beautiful couple of hours spent up on the Healy Pass watching this and making some images.

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.

I'm based and work mainly on the west coast of Ireland which is frequently battered by Atlantic storms in Autumn and Winter. I'm no storm chaser but sometimes I do find myself out when the weather takes a turn for worse and it can be both exhilarating and frightening to witness the power of nature up close. Here you can see Cromwell Point lighthouse on Valentia Island during a storm with Beginish Island in the background.

Derrycunnihy as viewed from the famous Ladie's View in the Killarney National Park. The more famous view is a little off to the right, but I really loved the layers being revealed by the lingering mist and fog here and also the breaking light behind Mangerton mountain.

One of the best valleys to explore on the Beara Peninsula is Gleninchiquin.  With Cloonee lake at the opening of the valley, you continue on in towards Lough Inchiquin with its magnificent stone circle and the Gleninchaquin Park and waterfall at the end.   Halfway in you'll come across this lovely boathouse with the little island of trees opposite.  Somewhere I find myself coming back to , time and again .. this time in winter with a shroud of mist and fog giving the scene great atmosphere.

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.

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.

After spending two years photographing in the Killarney National Park I began to shift focus from ' recording ' the dramatic landscape to capturing the very essence and nature of the place and the very special sights you can witness within it. Early morning is always my preference, any time of year and during a particularly long dry spell the water levels on the lake drop to the point where you can walk out to locations rarely accessible. Here I choose to focus on this wonderfully still scene instead of the coming drama ahead as first light hits the Reeks behind.

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.

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 !   Skellig Moon II is an open edition available in three sizes.

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.

One of my favourite trips in this area is to take the small road that runs from Kilgarvan, through the Borlin Valley towards Bantry. At the top of the pass, on remote and rugged bogland sits the ruins of this old cottage which I love to return to and wonder about those who lived here many years ago.
