Situated in the corner of County Tyrone, Northern Ireland's largest county, the remains of Harry Avery's castle sit atop a hill on the edge of a valley. The twin structures projecting up here were actually an unusual tower house rather than an outer defensive gatehouse. Belonging to a 14th century Irish chieftain it was destroyed in the early 17th century…

The Sperrins are Northern Ireland's most extensive upland area, the mountains are very low reaching only 678m at Sawel with very little prominence. Here they are seen at sunset with bright golden winter sunlight under a fine sky. This is an isolated area, often cut off by winter snows and with almost no public transport but few people live in…

Sure there are stormy days, rainy days and grey sky days. But there are plenty of blue sky days, sunny days, calm days and even on those bad days there is always something to photograph. It…

Donegal is Ireland's most northerly county, its peninsulae jutting out into the North Atlantic with Malin Head being the northernmost point on the island. And it is a scenic part of Ireland, the coast is long with rocky sections, cliffs, sandy beaches and with more than a few lighthouses it lives up to its reputation as a rugged place.

I do like photographing in Ireland in winter, the countryside is mostly empty and the weather can be fine. Here it was a foggy day with little chance of a break in the cloud overhead so instead of heading for a big wide open scene we headed for a good little woodland where we could make use of the ethereal…

Landscape and nature photography in Ireland doesn't stop just because it is winter. Landscape photographers enjoy the winter just as much as any other season, there is always the chance of snow of course and the bright clear winter sunlight. But even a woodland, with trees devoid of leaves can look fine in winter.

What to photograph in Ireland when the weather isn't good? That's a question I get asked a lot, and it isn't difficult to answer. There is always a fine scene to photograph in any locality on any day. On this occasion as the rain began to fall, it was this lake in the west of Ireland, the soft and rugged…

It's almost Christmas, the end of another year and another decade; here at Panoramic Ireland we have been busy photographing Dublin as always. 2019 has reached December and, for the second year, more than a dozen of Dublin's buildings and streets have been illuminated to give the city a more welcoming feel.

Ireland doesn't get a lot of snow but when it does it is a sight for sore eyes. Here the mountains of the west of Ireland sit icy white above the golden colours of the bogland landscape. I have written about snow a lot before here on Panoramic Ireland, here are some more articles.

Landscape photography is a fine pursuit; much like the angler will appreciate the solitude, or camaraderie, to be found on a riverbank or lakeside so too the landscape photographer enjoys an evening out on the coast surrounded by nature. Here is no exception, the famous basalt columns of Northern Ireland's world-famous World Heritage Site Giant's Causeway had done their work…

The Irish woodlands are looking particularly colourful in autumn, deciduous trees getting ready for winter. While not extensive, Irish woodlands and forests contain lots of character.

It's a bright and colourful time of year, autumn. Sunny days have fine, clear light and the colour of autumn foliage makes any journey into the countryside colourful. Six months since my chemotherapy finished it is exhilarating to be back in the countryside photographing the colour of another fine autumn.
