O’Brien’s Tower

This shot shows the view standing on the Cliffs of Moher looking back at O’Brien’s tower where the previous three photographs were taken from.  We got to the Cliffs late in the day and the park staff had gone home as well as most of the tourists so we got to take a long walk […]

Lesser Cliffs

I dubbed this shot “lesser cliffs” because it looks out from O’Brien’s Tower in the opposite direction of the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare, Ireland.  While still an impressive scene, the sight which attracts viewers from all over Ireland and the world is 180 degrees behind. 5D Mk III with 24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM lens.  […]

Dandelion by the Cliffs

Here’s another shot from one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen.  This one looks out to the Cliffs of Moher from the base of O’Brien Tower, featuring some wild flora in the foreground.  I wish there was a way to show you these in full resolution rather than on the web as it seems to […]

Cliffs of Moher

This photograph does no justice to perhaps the most majestic sight these eyes have ever seen.  It was bazaar standing there–as if my eyes didn’t believe it was true.  I can’t quite articulate the experience I had but it was overwhelming and awe-inspiring.  Despite the fact that it can’t fully live up to the experience, I’m quite happy with this exposure.  We were […]

Flaggy Shore

I had trouble deciding which of my shots from the flaggy shores of West Clare were my favorites so I’ll probably post a few.  Here’s the first of the series.  We were quite lucky to have a blue sky on the day that we took our coastal trip to the Cliffs of Moher by way of Doolin.  […]

Lonely Burren Tree

I must have driven by this lone tree at least twice a day for the first half a week I was in Ireland.  I don’t know why but every time we passed it I had the urge to step out and capture it.  Alas, I was one of five passengers in the car and didn’t want to inconvenience […]

Eye of the Beholder

As much as I love photography I’ve been missing graphic design lately. My career change from graphic designer to high school photography teacher has shifted my everyday focus a bit but I still love both.  I thought it was about time I designed something just for the sake of designing something. I came up with this concept […]

Quin Abbey Exterior

I’ve said quite a lot about Quin Abbey in my previous posts so I’ll keep this one brief.  Here’s what she looks like from the outside in the midst of the Irish countryside.  I miss Ireland. 5D Mk III with 24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM lens.  ISO 100, f/10.0, 1/100 sec.
