Inis Tuaisceart (Inishtooskert) is the northernmost of the Blasket Islands off the tip of the Dingle peninsula in Kerry. From the shore, it looks like a giant lying on its back, hence its popular name of 'The Sleeping Giant'. In Irish, it's known as 'An Fear Marbh', which translates as 'The Dead Man'.
It's rarely photographed from the water, and early in 2020 I ventured out to do just that. Its northern tip has some of the most dramatic island scenery anywhere in Ireland, and I was delighted to work with it under brooding overcast skies - perfectly matching the moody menace of the cliffs.
It took me 3 days to decide which photograph to purchase, The Brooding Giant was my choice in the end & I love it, means a lot to me for various reasons - thank you. I’ll be on again to purchase more for sure. Btw the website ease of use & delivery was first class, well done to you & the team.

Slea Head is by far the most iconic of Dingle locations. On the very fringes of our island, it's an incredibly rugged and wild place. Even the roads have difficulty here - a section of the nearby Slea Head drive slipped into the sea some years ago. The new section is a little further inland now!
This image was made shortly after sunset on a stormy December day. The clouds, which had been stubbornly persistent on the horizon, cleared for a few seconds to give a glimpse of the glorious colours behind them, before closing again just as quickly.
From left to right, the islands visible are, Inishvickallaun, Inishnabro and the Great Blasket.

On December 21, 2010 there was a total lunar eclipse which was visible from Ireland as the moon was setting just before sunrise.
That December was a brutally cold one in Ireland with virtually the entire country covered in snow - a rare occurrence. Braving the -15 degree (centigrade) temperatures I made this exposure from the driveway of our house. It pays to live in an area of natural beauty!
In it, the eclipse is nearing totality with only a small sliver of the moon in sunlight. The rest is a red colour as it has passed into the shadow of the earth.
I have order framed and unframed pictures from the website and have been delighted with the quality and speed which my orders were met with. The only issue is finding space in the house for the next pictures. First class all round.

The three rocks off the tip of Dursey Island at the end of the Beara Peninsula line up just after sunrise on a clear summer's day. The Bull is the largest and sports its lighthouse and massive gannet colony. The smallest rock is the Calf which can be seen near the horizon to the right of the frame. The bump on it is the stump of a lighthosue that was broken in half by the sea in the late 1800s.

The Small Skellig is not often photographed other than from Skellig Michael. However, it's a worthy subject in its own right. Home to thousands of pairs of gannets, it looks dusted in snow as the sun sets behind it.

The first rays of sunlight glance the top of the Macgillycuddy's Reeks with Lough Leane in the foreground. Inishfallen island with its monastery is the the left of the frame.

The Glen Beach is a short stretch of beautiful sandy beach that is often home to dramatic Atlantic surf pounding against it. Seen here on a calmer day, this long exposure smooths out the motion of the water and matches it with the low-lying fog over the cliffs and headlands of Bolus Head.
