About the Book
This amazing set of photographs was taken during my first ascent of the mighty Carrauntoohil mountain in County Kerry, Ireland. This is Ireland's highest mountain. The really great thing though, is the fact that I picked the perfect day for ascending this rocky giant of a challenge. The 15th of April to be precise!
The MacGillycuddy's reeks (the amazing mountain range, in which Ireland's summit is situated, is almost always sitting in a blanket of cloud. Therefore I was lucky enough to be given the perfect opportunity of shooting this set of images. An 06:30 start ensured lots of wonderful golden hour images. A Panasonic G3 fitted with a very high quality 25mm prime optic completed the deal. Happy days!
A day I will never forget. A wonderful mountain.
This mountain has many hidden dangers and obstacles to overcome for a safe ascent/descent. Make every step count. Also never hike alone. Experience is essential on these mountains.
Enjoy.
