Dingle Marina sat there looking calm and civilised. Boats were tucked in, masts upright, everything in order while the sky overhead threatened rain and hid any chance of a sunset from my vantage point. Luckily, it didn’t rain. The sky just got darker and darker as the sun slipped further around the Earth. The low…

Every photographer who visits London takes a shot of Piccadilly Circus. It’s practically a rite of passage. The neon screens, the crowds, and the Eros statue somewhere off to the side are iconic. So is the famous UNDERGROUND branding seen all over the city so I wanted to get a mix of the two in…

Sunrise at this time of year is rather easy as it’s at a reasonable time. Not too early, and not too late either. When the sky turns golden I pick up my camera!

A beautiful sunset pictured from our apartment in Edinburgh a few weeks ago. The weather was glorious that week! It hardly rained at all! Did you know that the Forth Bridge, visible just left of centre, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was the world’s longest cantilever railway bridge when it opened in 1890?…

One of the good things about an early flight is getting up early to see the sunrise. That was me yesterday morning, when the world outside was mostly asleep, but I was preparing to head to the airport in Edinburgh for a flight to Cork.

A life buoy at the beach in Youghal. It was a fairly breezy day, just after the triathlon.

As I walked to the Forty Foot a few days ago, I saw an ominous, dark cloud out at sea. Knowing that it would guarantee it wouldn’t rain, I got my umbrella from the car. It didn’t rain.

Over the weekend I stayed in a B&B on Sheep’s Head in Co. Cork and of course I had to photograph the sunset from the headland. I shared another photo taken on the same night recently, but I’ve photographed the sunset in this part of the world several times. I wasn’t expecting much as there…

Light pours through a gap in the clouds, illuminating the waters between Sheep’s Head and the Beara Peninsula.

Sunset in Valencia and the street is dark, but the sky is lit up by the setting sun.

Clouds in the sky are lit up by the sun after it has set. They’re a vivid red thanks to the light travelling through the thick atmosphere just beyond the horizon.
