The area was also home to a hundred or so sheep, who were on hand to greet us upon our arrival. The sounds of the ewes and their lambs were very mince to hear, it was like they were either welcoming Bernard back or were telling us to stay out as they made quite the racket and all lined up on the hillside above us. I also knew right then that they would feature in some shots, due to the amount of them and their placements all around us.

Read MoreFor this week's adventure, I decided to head to where it all begins. The Old Head of Kinsale is an impressive headland that juts out from the bottom of Ireland into the Atlantic Ocean. However, it isn’t possible to walk along the stunning coastline or visit the impressive lighthouse at the very end, as years ago the land was sold to a private company, which set up the Old Head Golf Course, and no public access is permitted anymore

Read MoreAs my day on the Dingle Peninsula came to a close, I had to fit one last shoot in and the location I chose was not only a stunning spot with incredible views of the Wild Atlantic, but was also an icon from the film industry’s past. Situated right on the edge of the headland lies a structure that was built with one specific reason, to act as a central area for the film to work it. Ryans’ Daughter is a movie that was made in 1970 and heavily featured the stunning scenery that the Dingle Peninsula offers.

Read MoreMy location of choice for this shoot is one that I hadn’t brought you to before, well at least not to the exact spot anyway, The last time I was here was 4 years ago when I took the hike over the cliffs to visit a stunning sea stack that sits proudly in the bay.
