South Devon Coast - May 2018

I've just returned from a 3 day trip to the South Devon Coastline capturing images utilising natural daylight to add to my stock image library. We based ourselves in Torquay and spent the time travelling around many of the popular tourist destinations including pretty harbour towns and coastal estuaries. The weather on the trip was fantastic and by using a polarising filter to enhance and deepen the colours. the whole set of images have a really crisp and bright holiday feel.

Southern Ireland - Killarney National Park & Ring of Kerry

My second major photography trip for 2018 was a first for me with a trip across the water to explore the glorious landscape of Southern Ireland. Ireland has long been on my list of places to explore so when the opportunity came up I was really pleased to be able to get the time off work for an extended trip.

We spent 10 days in Ireland altogether, splitting our time between a city break in Cork and a week long exploration by hire car around the south west coastline. We had a base for the week near to Killarney and spent most days on the road hiking and sightseeing around the beautiful mountains and coastline of County Kerry.
