my photos


Some of my photos have been published in The Irish Times, used for private websites and have been used in presentations and various bird reports. Feel free to use any photos you want from this blog - yw.

None of my photos are edited in photoshop as you can probably tell. I just don't have it in me to spend extra time at the computer enhancing images. Most my images are cropped in camera. I'll also sometimes add d-lighting, again in the camera settings, this is the only work I know how to do on my photos.


Here are some of my own favourite shots:
