I did not make a note of which film these were shot on and I am still waiting to collect the negatives from the Lab. Mount Usher Gardens in Wicklow is always worth a visit, especially in Spring or Summer. These were taken with my Canon 300V camera, I think. I was delighted to see …
Powerscourt Waterfall
These photos come from multiple trips I made to see Powerscourt waterfall earlier this year. I shot both digital and film images when I was there. I have to go and get some better photos, it was the first day that I had shot with my Mamiya 645 camera (black and white image) The link …
Guinness Storehouse
This may be the most visited tourist spot in Dublin, but, I still like to visit it every now and again. On this particular day, it was busy. I decided to focus on long exposures and to try and empty the building or to show movement. I think I did that. There are so many …
Dark Hedges
Whiles in the North on Saturday, I decided to visit the Dark Hedges, as it has been on my list of locations to go to for years. I planned to be there for sunset at 16:12. When I got there, there were tourists all doing the same thing as me. This is where things went …

When the gardens were originally been set out one of the gardens the designers used as inspiration was Versailles, having been to Versailles, I can see the influence in Powerscourt. The house and gardens have a long and fascinating history, which intertwines with some of …
Rathfarnham Castle
The photos below come from a trip to Rathfarnham Castle in Dublin. As you can see the bones of the building are on view, and there is a lack of furniture in place, this is partially part of a policy of the OPW and partially due to funding. They believe that it is interesting to …
Saltee Islands
Every year I visit the Saltee Islands, off the coast of Wexford, yesterday was my first visit for this year. It is an absolute treat to spend the day on this Island, listening to the sea and the birds calling to each other. It is possible that you will find one person asleep at some …
Powerscourt Waterfall
I brought my small camera to Powerscourt Waterfall today, there was a haze in the area due to all the people that were hosting barbecues. We have not had a huge amount of rain recently, which lead to incredibly low water levels. This area is really beautiful and a place that I frequently return too. …
