I have been photographing a lot of sunsets in the past few weeks, from my native Northern Ireland to the west of Ireland.

No two sunsets are ever the same, winds pick up and clouds arrive to enhance or spoil your capture. Rain blows in sideways and spatters your filter with water droplets, the wind rattles your tripod no matter how much you try to shelter your camera your exposure is shaky.

It is tricky sometimes, but not always. Patience and perseverence are always well rewarded in photography.

This image is from sunset this evening (25/10/2013) in the west of Ireland, it is from Lough Corrib, Ireland's second largest lake.

Sometimes a day just takes you where it wants, if you let it. This day took me to the Wild Atlantic Way on Ireland's west coast.

Photo Tours in Dublin and Ireland

It's fun and exciting to lead photography tours in Dublin, meeting everyone from professional photographers to those who just enjoy taking photos.

Everyone has the ability to create a good image, and that is the basis of our photo experience in Dublin or your chosen county in Ireland.

A visit to the coast of Ireland is a pleasure to be enjoyed at all times of the year, good weather and bad.

Almost-swans at the end of the summer

Earlier in the summer I photographed these cygnets as they wandered around St. Stephen's Green in Dublin's city centre, check out the picture here - Cygnets.

Dublin's Street of Performance

Walking up or down Grafton Street can be difficult at times. 

A little early morning sunshine with the Moon visible in the blue sky.

A lovely time to be up and about.

It's no secret that I really do like Connemara.
