Started out in early 2020 and still a long way to go but I am enjoying the great outdoors and the amazing Irish landscape!

Puffin Portrait - my first visit to the Saltees this year and had a few images in mind that I wanted to capture. When I first visited the islands, I was like a kid at Christmas, over excited and taking thousands of images. I soon realised that none of these shots were particularly unique, which led me to be more deliberate in my approach.

For this image, I was very much inspired by the work of and her method of capturing an image whilst manipulating the conditions at hand. The image may look photoshopped in some way but the bird was simply shot against an overexposed bright backdrop, which allowed me to edit the image to my original vision.

I see this image as a follow up to a previous puffin portrait, shot against a dark background, so I always wanted to try the reverse to compare the two.

I don't often do a "deep dive" behind the scenes commentary but I am particularly happy with how this one turned out. Hopefully you like it!

I haven't been active on Facebook lately, I am very regular on Instagram but struggle to balance posting content on both. I took this image last week during a walk along the top Causeway cliffs and got an unexpected fireball-like sunset 🌅

Going to try and post here more often!

Call of the Corncrake - such an amazing experience tracking down and capturing this rare and elusive bird on camera. The corncrake has such a distinctive call, which makes it easy to hear but not so easy to see.

This male proved difficult to find amongst the reeds but made a brief appearance out in the open. Tory Island is known as the "corncrake capital" of Ireland and has been recently featured on as part of the "Ireland's Wild Islands" wildlife show...

Under the stars at Dunseverick Castle - my first attempt at a proper astrophotography shot in a long long time. Amazing to just stand and look at the night sky, the universe really is so vast 🤓

Definitely a genre I need to practice at but thought I would share this effort! 🌌

Murder Hole Beach - now much more accessible, the newly added path to the beach makes it so much easier to get to. I believe that only a drone can give a true idea of the scale of this location and luckily on my second visit of my Donegal trip, the wind played ball ☺️
