Dunluce Castle, Co. Antrim
For a living room or above a sofa, Feature or Showcase sizes give the best impact. Unframed prints are perfect if you'd like to choose your own frame.
If in doubt, contact me!
Prints are made to order, so I can't take one back just because you've changed your mind, but if it arrives damaged or isn't what you ordered, I'll replace it at no cost. You can swap it within 30 days, though you'd cover the return postage.
I never went back for the sunrise. That's the punchline. I'd gone down to the boulder beach east of Dunluce purely to scout a composition, work out where I'd plant the tripod the following morning. A test shot. Nothing more.
But the north Antrim coast in summer catches light all day long. The sun rises in the northeast and sets in the northwest, and this eastern face of the castle was lit beautifully even close to midday. Strong directional sun from the left, mixed cloud breaking it up. I don't usually photograph landscapes at that hour. The light is too high, too flat. Except it wasn't flat at all.
Those dark basalt boulders in the foreground sat in deep shadow while the castle and sky behind were blazing bright. The contrast was enormous. I put a graduated neutral density filter on to balance it, which forced a slower shutter speed than you'd expect in the middle of the day. And that's what made it. The waves washing between the rocks went slightly soft, slightly silky, while the ruined walls stayed sharp and solid up on that headland. From sea level they look properly imposing, rising straight out of the rock.
I stood there looking at the back of the camera and thought, well, that's not a test shot anymore. Sometimes you just need to take what's in front of you!

We produce all our prints to order, so you can be sure you're getting the best quality work to hang on your wall. As a result, in busy times it can take a while to process the orders. In the worst case, which is generally during the peak months of July-September, it can take 4-6 weeks to receive large framed prints. Large canvases generally take 2-3 weeks. Unframed prints are generally also 2-3 weeks at worst.
We aim to get prints out as quickly as possible, so we would expect and hope that you would receive them earlier than the above timeframes. If you have a particular need to get a print quickly, please let us know in the order notes and we'll prioritize it for you, or you can email us at info@petercox.ie.
Prints are well-packaged and in the unlikely event that it arrives damaged, we'll send a replacement free of charge.
When your order ships, you'll receive an email with your tracking number.
Thanks for your trust, and we hope you get many years of enjoyment from your new print!
