Fairytale Woods, Courtmacsherry, Co. Cork
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 wasn't even out to make photographs that day. It was a family walk near Courtmacsherry, one of those spring afternoons where you're just happy to be moving through somewhere green. I don't do a lot of woodland photography. Coast and rock and open sky, that's where my instincts usually take me. But bluebells are a weakness of mine.
We came through a gap in the trees and the entire woodland floor was covered in blue. Four slender trunks standing almost symmetrically on the slope, fresh spring leaves filtering what light there was into something gentle. The overcast conditions were perfect for it. No harsh shadows, just soft diffused light letting the colour do all the work. I had a fast lens with me and opened it right up. The two closest trees are sharp, but the bluebells in the foreground and everything behind fall away into soft focus. It gives the image a three-dimensional quality, almost like looking through a window into the scene rather than at a flat surface.
Bluebell colour is genuinely elusive. That blue-violet sits in a part of the spectrum digital cameras find tricky, and getting it right takes patience. I'm glad I had that lens with me. Sometimes the best photographs happen when you're not looking for them!

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!
