“The broken hours, all colours bleed into blue.”

My last landscape photo of the day taken during a trip to Mayo and Achill island. This seascape photo is of Keel strand (also known as Trawmore Strand) The colour temperature dropped to a cold blu hue and the wet rocks glistened as the water rolled over them. In moments like this you really how beautiful the world really is.

A long exposure photo of Kinnagoe Bay, located on the east coast of Inishown near Greencastle in Donegal. The black and white seascape photo of the rock formations is a long exposure of about 2 minutes. Made possible by adding a 10 stop ND filter in front of the lens. I really wanted to separate the jagged rocks from the still sea as much as possible to create a sense of calm

A sunset photo of Keel strand on Achill island off Mayo, Ireland. The sunlight glistens on the water and the long exposure adds a dreamlike quality. Achill is the largest island off the Irish coast line. Keel strand (also known as Trawmore Strand) connects the village of Keel with Dookinelly and offers fantastic views of the famous Minuan Cliffs.

I visited the beautiful Kinnagoe bay on a trip to Donegal. It is located on the east coast of Inishowen near Greencastle. I spent the day photographing long exposures of the still sea. The volcanic rock formations scattered around the beach complimented the stillness of the sea perfectly. I spotted this rock early on in the day but I waited untill later to photograph it, once the tide had come in. The exposure was about 7 minutes long.

I came across the beautiful Kinnagoe beach during a trip to Donegal. It is located in a secluded bay near Greencastle on the east of the Inishowen peninsula in Donegal, Ireland. It is not the easiest place in the world to find so arrived before sunrise to get a sunrise photo. I love the jagged forms of the rocks I felt their sculptural formations would yield some great images.

An Industrial Photo of a control panel of some kind. I find old machinery fascinating. I have no idea what it is or what it does. It felt a science Fiction Movie Set. The movie fan in me loves these places. It offers great opportunities for fine art photos.

A panoramic fine art photo of Kinbane Castle in County Antrim, Northern Ireland just after sunset. The small castle is a heritage site located on a long, narrow limestone headland projecting into the sea, which is approximately 5 km from Ballycastle on the road to Ballintoy. It’s an amazing location and I was blessed with lovely light that evening. The Antrim coast is full of locations of immense beauty and this is certainly one of them.

Industrial Architecture Photography was perfect for this wonderful location. It is a functioning animal feed plant. The first time I happened upon the place, all the equipment was operating. Everything vibrated, including the floor. He kindly let me in a number of times at the weekend to photograph the fabulous spaces when the equipment was turned off. It looked like a movie set. The owner was a real gentleman. Although slightly bemused I think!

A black and white art landscape photo of a hawthorn tree in the Wicklow hills in the east of Ireland. Part of a commission to supply images for huge wall coverings up to 13m wide. I was driving along the road and I noticed this lovely hawthorn tree. The light was beautiful that day.
