Hello folks,

Welcome to my new website BernardGeraghtyLandscapeTours.ie, thank you so much for taking the time to visit our new site I hope you find it informative and simple to navigate whether you are looking to purchase a tour or just browsing.

This is a big step for me and my new company as it allows us to have a more direct approach with regards to our tours and workshops.

A little about the company... Being extremely passionate about travel, hiking and landscape photography I felt the time was right to set up the company after spending 6 years working as a plumber and 6 years in retail management I felt a change was needed. I found everyday I was becoming more and more frustrated being stuck inside day after day I knew I needed to do something... Queue my passion for travel, hiking and photography....For me it was simple, combine them and make a business out of it to create hiking tours, photography tours and sightseeing tours. I'm lucky enough to have the support of my parents and my fantastic partner Rachel, it may be a cliche but without their support this would definitely not be possible.

Below is the photo which will greet you on my website homepage...This particular photo was taken from the magical Old Man of Storr on the Isle of Skye and has been on my bucket list of shots to get for the last 2 years 6 trips to Skye later with countless air and road miles I finally nailed it with the type of light one can only dream of, It was tough standing and posing as the wind was blowing a gale but trust me the wind wasn't as bad as my previous attempts to make the climb and get 'The Shot' in the past.




I hope you have enjoyed my very first Blog...Short and sweet but I do look forward to doing one once a week and I hope you will follow me on my journey of touring and Blogging. PEACE....

The Milky Way or Aurora Borealis?? Even though they both involve using the same type of lenses, f2.8 or lower preferably, both also need dark skies, but in terms of shooting, living in Ireland, the Milky Way involves going as far South as possible while the aurora involves us going as far North as possible. Below is a prime example, an Aurora image from Lough Salt, Donegal in September 2017 and a Milky Way image from Ardmore, Waterford in February 2018. Although we don't get as much of the Milky Way core in Ireland as countries further South or in the Southern Hemisphere, it's almost, if not better, to shoot the Milky Way from Ireland, for a few reasons... - We don't get many nights of clear skies in Ireland - We don't get fully dark skies in the summer (best times to shoot Feb-Apr & Aug-Sept) due to  the Milky Way only lining up and certain times of the year. - We need there to be little or no moon - If all of the above lines

Under arctic light

"You're mad going there in November" That is what I was told by a few people when I mentioned that I was headed to The Lofoten Islands, Norway in the middle of November. It gets too much rain, its too windy, the light is bad... the list goes on. We had none of the above, We had epic light, amazing clear skies and even better aurora displays!!! We arrived at our accommodation in Hamnoy, Lofoten late at night after a long day of travelling and we just hit the hay right away. I must admit I found it hard to sleep due to a mix of over tiredness and excitement at what the next week had in store for us. Skip to the next morning when we woke... I raced outside to check out the views from the cabin and to say I was blown away would be an understatement.  (Below is a shot which was taken literally a 2 minute walk from our cabin at sunrise) Hamnøy Village The accommodation we stayed in on our tour was down here in this fishing village of Hamnoy in one of these

The Dolomites, a photographers paradise.

Image
It's been a few months since I led my very first two Dolomites photo tours, which I was absolutely delighted to sell out. Leading up to the trips it was hard not to be excited, I had been to the Dolomites in October 2017 with my good pals Johnny Baird and Felix Sproll. It really was the trip of a lifetime, A bucket list location that I thought to myself i'd never in my wildest dreams ever photograph there never mind run photo tours there. Leading up to the trips it was as exciting as it gets, but as the trips grew closer one or two nerves crept in, its normal for a trip, especially an international one because you want/need so many things to come together. Your going away with people you've never been away with before, most of the time they are strangers to each other also, but you also want the accommodation to be nice and the weather to be perfect. About one hour into the first of the two tours any nerves I had had completely disappeared, I had amazing clients,
