the Giants Causeway

The Giant’s Causeway is an amazing geographical wonder found on the Antrim Coast of Northern Ireland.  It’s famous for the roughly 40,000 hexagonal basalt columns that rise out of the sea floor like something out of the arcade classic, QBert.

Ireland’s Cliffs of Moher are one of those amazing locations that visitors will gladly return to over and over again.  Photographing the cliffs at sunset can be particularly challenging due to the high winds that you’ll face coming in off the ocean.  If you’re planning a visit and want to stay to photograph the sunset, [...]

Full Moon Hike up Old Rag

Full Moon Hike up Old Rag
