In the Field - Boyne Beacons
The latest edition of the In the Field vLog is now on line. This edition has me located at the mouth of Ireland's River Boyne photographing the navigation beacons that can be found at the mouth of the river against the most colourful dawn sky I have ever seen.
Early morning at the mouth of Irelands River Boyne, photographing the most amazing dawn colours I have seen in years. A lee little stopper was used for some images, to blur the water and sky.
In the Field - Carlingford Lough, Ireland
The latest edition of my "In the Field" series is now live on youtube. This episode takes me to the shoreline of Carlingford Lough in County Louth Ireland. The location, overlooked by the Mourne mountains is beautiful, and one I will return to frequently in the coming months.
In the Field - Slea Head, Co Kerry Ireland
I recently spent two days exploring the backroads and headlands around Irelands Dingle Peninsula. With its dramatic coastline and wonderful views out towards the Blaskett Islands the location is a landscape photographers dream.
The results can be viewed on my latest In the Field vLog below.
In the Field - Trá Mór County Donegal
I have been back in County Donegal Ireland, perhaps my favourite Irish County to get lost with a camera in.
On one evening I spent a wonderful two hours photographing the beautiful Trá Mór beach near the village Carrigart. That adventure has been captured in the blog below.
In the Field - Cooley light
Last weekend saw me back on the Cooley Hills, scrambling through dew soaked grass to catch the sunrise over Carlingford Lough and the Mourne mountains. This part of Ireland is beautiful and I really need to get up here more. The results of the excursion can be seen on my "In the Field" report video log below.
In the Field - Dawn at Dunmoe
Last Friday, I returned to a location that photographically speaking has proven a happy hunting ground. This trip was no different, with mist creeping up the River Boyne and the sun popping through conditions were ideal. The video log can be viewed below.
In the Field - Clogherhead, Co Louth
Continuing my close to home theme, I paid a visit to the coastal village of Clogherhead, purely to get out and get the creative juices flowing. Conditions, weren't ideal, everything was to calm!! The sea thrift I hoped to capture amongst the rocky shoreline were about two weeks away from blooming. Still I made the most of it, the vblog and some of the images I captured can be viewed below.
In the Field - Dunany, Ireland
I have been staying a little closer to home in recent weeks, which has taken me to some old and new locations that I haven't been to in years. One such location is a stretch of coastline between Dunany and Togher County Louth, offering wonderful views across Dundalk Bay to the Cooley Peninsula.
Check out the YouTube video I made, some images are below.
"InThe Field" Clifden Connemara
Last week I spent a few hours in and around Clifden capturing some images for a client. In an effort to expand my knowledge of youtube & self produced video content I thought I'd use that visit to document my short visit. The results can be seen below. I have so much to learn!!
YouTube - White Strand Co Mayo
in In The Field, Youtube
Oh God, apparently there is another social outlet I need to get involved in. That outlet, Youtube. I have been frequent visitor over the years, but now according to the people in the know I need to be there. With that in mind, my first youtube offering can be found below;
In the meantime I need to go shopping for some Go-Pros for Youtube purposes :(

Lightroom Preset - Donegal Summer
At some stage every photographer experiments with presets and plugins, I am no different, though I have to admit I have something of a love hate relationship with them. Lately I have been experimenting with Lightroom Presets in an effort to speed up my workflow and to give me some ideas on how I could tweak images.
I am in the midst of creating my own set of landscape presets which I will share later this year. In order to give a taste of what they will look like I thought I’d share one presets titled " Donegal Summer" which can be downloaded by clicking the link.
Below is a before and after example. The after example has also been enhanced further by using the curves tool.
Lightroom presets are pretty easy to install. If you are unfamiliar with the process then check out this You tube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg0eAUSooBk (not mine)
Dawn Chorus 2015
Nature is inspiring, the little moments of joy it provides are magical. So this morning on a very wet International Dawn Chorus day 2015, I recorded this Blackbird singing. Uplifting :)
