I had spent the previous day scouting locations on the Inishowen peninsula, before finishing up in Gweedore - as the daylight was fading - trying to find a view of Errigal and Clady River from a track in a forest. But perhaps not surprisingly there were too many trees in the way so I headed to my accomodation having done over 500km of driving that day. During the night I

If you've read my previous blog post then you'll know that the last time that I was in Donegal I found the weather conditions a tad challenging. I was a little disappointed as I drove north to not see any snow but at least it would mean I'd be able to drive around this time. My first stop was to have a look at Bád Eddie, the famous wreck near Bunbeg.

The plan was to head up way north into Donegal and - since it is a long journey - sleep in the car, so I could stretch the trip in to two days. Once I'd gotten as far as Sligo the road conditions deteriorated rapidly, the snow and ice causing everyone to drive very slowly and carefully. I headed for Beltanny Stone Circle because it gave me something to aim

You may have read, in my previous post, that the last time I visited the Wild Nephin National Park I had neglected to bring my boots. This time, however, I had brought them with me, and I'd also brought my friend Murray. We set off along the Western Way trail towards a landmark called Altnabroky Shelter for no other reason than it appears on Google Maps and gave us something

I had every intention of exploring the Wild Nephin National Park but upon opening the boot of my car I discovered that I'd left my boots at home, 2 hours drive away in Galway. I had a stab at walking it anyway but as soon as I joined the trail proper I got wet feet. So I checked my list of potential locations and saw that if I headed a

I check the weather forecast once a day looking for conditions favourable to photography. If there are conditions forecast that will suit an image that I have in mind I pay more attention and check the updates more often, and if there aren't I pay less attention. So it was with complete surprise when I looked out the window and saw thick fog outside my house when I was expecting

I wasn't sure what was going to be at the end of my journey as I drove towards Levally Lough in County Mayo. Firstly I hadn't visited the location beforehand to check its suitability (I'd just picked a likely spot on Google Street View) and secondly I had no way of knowing what the conditions were going to be like until I got there. A blanket of fog was forecast

There's a handy little carpark at Hag's Leap and from there leads a path that takes you towards Eagle's Rock, but after walking along it only a short while I knew that I wasn't going to get the vantage point that I was looking for. For that I'd need to do a little trespassing, as is usually the case. Eager to get to where I figured I needed to be

The 'no parking' and 'private property' signs gave me the impression that I should probably leave the car a bit further back down the road. I'd driven down this quiet country road as it was a good entry point to a valley in the Partry Mountains that I'd come to explore. I walked briskly past the house with the signs and in no time I was following Srahnalong River and

I decided to start my recee of the Dingle Peninsula by first heading to Lough Slat and Lough Caum, but I got distracted on the way by a mountain peeking out of the low clouds and spent a little while at the side of the road getting a few shots of that, retreating to the car whenever the drizzle became a shower. Having explored the two loughs I could see from
