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.

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 !

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.

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.

I have a long held interest in photographing farmland gates and noting the vast range of styles and methods used both today and in years gone by to secure access points to lands. Some are ornate and hark back to days where great pride was taken in owning even a small holding.

Ireland’s highest mountain, and it’s most majestic mountain range. Carrauntoohill is nested in the McGillycuddys Reeks and is a hugely popular place for walkers, hikers, and climbers. Coming here mid week in winter, you are more than likely to have the entire place to yourself for most of your time. As always when photographing mountains, I aim to make an image putting the subject in the context of it’s surroundings.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A lone Hawthorn Tree is backlit by the rising sun on a very unique morning in June. I had been camping out on high ground the previous night and unexpectedly had a very cold night on the mountain as a bizarre front of cold air moved down across the country. Once it was light enough to come down I did and sat in my car warming up as the sun began to rise. I noticed that as a result of the cold air, the light was unusually crisp and clear for a summer morning. I lined up a composition with the tree shading the rising sun and marvelled as the light wrapped around it and made an otherwise difficult exposure work perfectly.
These trees are often left standing alone for superstitious reasons by farmers , especially near lying boulders, for fear of bringing a curse from the fairies on them !!

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 !

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.

Having spent all my childhood summers roaming around barefoot on the dunes of Castlegregory, this is always a very special and poignant place for me to return to. I came here the day after my mother’s funeral to connect to and reflect on happier times in a place we all loved. I had my camera and spent a wonderful day re-exploring, remembering and making new images. It was a glorious, crisp February day and as it drew to a close I walked along the ‘back beach’ and the light, clouds, tides and wind all combined to make a spectacular end to a very special day.

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.
