Autumn is really the time of year to be out there with camera in hand, or on tripod as the case may be.

Colour and character conquer the countryside as leaves turn and fall to the ground.

Autumn is here, the leaves are changing colour, the weather is changing from warm and summery to blustery and showery, the evenings are closing in and it's looking great!

A Western Panorama from Panoramic Ireland

The shadows of two walkers can be seen traversing a ridge between two mountains in the west of Ireland in this image from my Panoramic Ireland series. The shadows belong to me and a visiting photographer, on a photography tour of Northern Ireland initially we then headed on to Sligo, Galway and Mayo in the west of Ireland extending the tour by four days.

Return to Saint John's Point - Northern Ireland's Unusual Lighthouse

The distinctive yellow and black painted lighthouse is situated on the eastern end of Dundrum Bay in County Down, Northern Ireland and differentiated from most lighthouses that are decorated in the usual black and white or just white.

Not to be confused with Saint John's Point lighthouse in County Donegal; the unusually-coloured County Down lighthouse is one of the finest in Ulster with rocky foreshore, the Mourne Mountains in the distance and its bright colour adding to the appeal of the long drive into the peninsula on which it sits.

Cliffs of Moher at Sunset

I previously wrote about my visit to Slieve League in County Donegal, the highest marine cliffs in Ireland, along with the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare are part of the Wild Atlantic Way that runs for 2,500km along Ireland's western seaboard.

Slive League Sunset - Mainland Ireland's Highest Marine Cliffs

On my recent odyssey along the coast of Ireland, I visited the magnificent cliffs at Slieve League in County Donegal, part of Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way.

After a manic few weeks that saw me meeting the President of Ireland, photographing some of the biggest artists around at Electric Picnic and leading many tours including a 10-day coastal odyssey along the coast of Ireland, my first visit back to what is one of my favourite locations allowed me to take some time and relax with golden light and calm conditions.

Eight arms and four oars propel a rowing boat at speed upstream along the River Liffey as it flows through the centre of Dublin, Ireland. 

Panoramic Ireland's photography experiences have proved to be very popular this summer and I am just back from a 10-day tour of Ireland's coastline with Linda K. from the USA.

Antrim Photography Experience

I wrote about a recent photography workshop on the Antrim Coast with two Sicilians, see here - we went along the coast, photographing waterfalls, green fields, rocky coastline and of course the Dark Hedges. This is real landscape photography territory.
