Last Thursday, myself and a group of guys from Green Pastures headed off to do our 3 Peaks in 3 Days Challenge to raise funds for the Freedom House (www.gpastures.co.uk). We where so blessed over the duration of the trip, with some of the best weather we’ve seen so far this year. Before we left for...

A lovely e-mail
It’s always nice to receive feedback on your work and I was extremely pleased when I received an e-mail this morning from Randal McDowell, with some thoughts on my 1st book ‘County Antrim – Chasing the Light’. “I’ve received a copy of Chasing the Light from a friend in N.Ireland. I’d just like to say...
Slieve Binnian
Last Saturday I had the pleasure of heading back up into the Mournes with a few friends. It had been a few months since my last trip, but thankfully the rain stayed away on this occasion and we managed to hike to the summit of Slieve Binnian and back down again in around 4 hours. ...
Slemish
6:45am on Saturday morning came very early when the alarm went off. We headed off to one of the many chambered graves near Broughshane to try and catch some nice early morning light. But the sleet, snow & rain soon ended that idea. But the weather soon started to clear and by lunchtime things looked...
The North & East Coasts

The first image from Garron Point is a very moody image, shot in very...

It’s always refreshing to get away from the hustle and bustle of Christmas, and just...
The Brandy Pad
Landscape photography is a big passion of mine, although sometimes it can be difficult to find the time for it. This past summer, I spent a lot of timing walking in the Mournes, gathering images & material for my book ’A Boot Up The Mourne Mountains’. This was a new challenge for me as I...
Garron Point
Phil and I headed to Garron Point early this morning for a sunrise shoot. Lovely conditions, even though it was quite chilly. And for once, the wind was actually blowing the sea spray away from the camera, so the ND Grads stayed reasonably clean and salt free! Garron Point is a great spot on the...
