Hello, I'm George, welcome to Ireland! I live in Dingle, County Kerry, Ireland, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and the hills and mountains of the Dingle peninsula. Beginning with childhood holidays at my mother's home in Dingle and eventually moving here to pursue scenic photography full-time, I've spent over 30 years exploring and photographing County Kerry as well as the rest of Ireland, discovering the backroads and small lanes that meander along the hillsides, through the farmlands, past ancient churches, castles, standing stones and even farm tracks, that just end abruptly on the wild Atlantic coastline. Since 2016, I've been leading tours and teaching photography workshops for all abilities, whether you're an absolute beginner, serious amateur photographer, or just want to take beautiful shots on your phone. I carry tripods and filters in the minibus which you are welcome to use with your camera or mobile phone. For those who wish to experiment with a DSLR camera, I have a few models you can try - just request this when booking. You can improve your photography using any camera, device or phone while visiting a variety of stunning and carefully chosen locations, largely away from the hustle and bustle of the busy tourist routes. Visit parts of Ireland you'd never generally get to see, as we follow the back roads, narrow lanes and trails, discovering landscapes that will both captivate and enchant you. Over 30 years I've explored Ireland with my camera along the Atlantic coastline from Kinsale to Donegal and beyond into County Antrim in Ulster. I can use this intimate knowledge of Ireland to tailor a private day tour to your exact requirements, whether you want to improve your photography, or just sit back, relax, and enjoy the amazing scenery, from ancient castles and ecclesiastical sites to stunning beaches and cliffs or mountain passes. If you want to hike along the many marked paths or trails to explore these beautiful locations further, or even walk beside the dramatic Atlantic coastline, I can also plan drop-off and pick-up points into your tour or even put my walking boots on and explore the wonderful scenery with you. - City & Guilds of London Photography - Failte Ireland Wild Atlantic Way Champion During my tours I have no restrictions.

Overview of your Dingle tour

We depart Dingle well before sunset, driving towards some of the most scenic and easily accessible coastal landscape in Ireland. As well as stopping off for a number of superb vistas, we've time to take in wonderful ecclesiastical sites and atmospheric ruins, walk on sandy beaches and investigate the dramatic rocky coastline under the softer and atmospheric light of the evening. Bring your camera, phone or absolutely any device that takes photos and capture wonderful images, improving your photography with ongoing tips and advice, or simply sit back, relax and enjoy the tour of all the fabulous and scenic locations that we'll visit. Towards the end of the tour, we'll pick a wonderful location along the Wild Atlantic Way to perhaps capture a touch of color, and maybe even a fabulous sunset to end the day. We'll take the smaller lanes and some farm tracks whenever we can to further explore some of the more secluded and hidden locations, I've discovered along this rugged and picturesque coastline.

Your Dingle tour itinerary

- After meeting up in Dingle 3 hours before sunset, we visit a tranquil Galluras Oratory and Kilmalkedar Church under the warmer evening light before touring to the amazing viewpoints around Slea Head, capturing unique views over Coumeenoole, Dunmore Head and the Blasket Islands. - Depending on the state of the tide on Coumeenoole Strand, we can explore the sandy beach and the scenic walkway. At Dunquin we take in the panoramic views above the steep path that zig zags down the cliff to the famous pier. Clogher provides us with outstanding landscapes that can be captured from Clogher Head and Clogher Strand. - We'll also head away from the main road to visit some of my favorite photography locations dotted along this rugged coastline. - Finally, we'll choose a wonderful location to hopefully, capture a colorful sunset and dusk. If you want to experiment with long exposure and low light photography there are tripods and filters available to experiment with. - Following sunset we'll return to Dingle.
