Life in the Liquid...

It has been a funny few weeks. Lots of madness, the most recent being going on a road trip to Bundoran for a few days and not coming home for 2weeks. Been exciting to say the least. Finally got home to sort out all the prints for the Christmas season.

In other news I want to tell you all about a new series I am working on at the moment.
Iv called it "Life in the Liquid".
Life in the Liquid is a range of images from the water around Ireland. Moments captured in between the madness of swimming around in storms and angry seas. I hope to let this series grow over the next few months and years and hopefully have a nice range of images to show off in a Gallery one day.
The series only has 7 images so far but is growing and growing.
Here are the first 7 along with a little story about the image with each.
Would love to hear some feedback.. :)

This shot was taken in the Spanish Point area during a lovely sunny day last month. Theres not a lot of water under this wave. I was standing taking this shot.

I love this shot! I love it even more because its my back garden. I was out for a swim in Whitestrand one evening and managed to get this shot of the Gulls in the evening light.

These next 2 are a sequence from A spot in Fanore that is just mad for shore dump waves. This wave breaks on about a 4ft deep shelf of rock. Amazing for shooting as you can just stand there and get a smashing. Not so good when its sharp Burren rock that you get bounced off.

Same spot in fanore. Just going mad.

My initial thought for the Life in the Liquid series was to not have any people in it but after getting this shot of Bundoran's Conor Maguire looking back on a nice atlantic wall of water I changed my mind. I love the lighting in this one and Conors body language too.

Another Evening with amazing light. This for those of you who cant make it out is the back of a wave. You can see the offshore winds blowing the water off the lip with a moody rainy sky in the background.

So that can give you a good idea of whats to come. Life in the Liquid will be updated on the Facebook page and on this Blog so keep an eye out.

  1. very niice! all i would say is that you see loads of shots like 1,3and4 and although they are class shots i think they all look very similar cause there so close up. i think the really unique ones like 2,6 and 7 are the best. shooting the offshore spray from behind the wave is a great idea cause it creates some really cool effects. keep up the good work man!
