Had a great road trip around the west coast of Ireland during the end part of the Summer in 2009.

The weather was appalling, typical Irish summer I was told on may occasions. But the overcast weather made for some very dramatic skies and really rich vibrant images, luminous greens and heavy dramatic skies.

It gave me an excuse to take mostly HDR pictures of the landscapes to capture the heavy atmosphere. All pictures taken in large RAW format enabling me the best pictures for processing once we returned to England.

‘Splity’ was the main feature in most of the pictures. The off white colour of the VW camper made some stark contrsts with the usual black seas menacing skies in the background.
