Cheers Ken :) It was the wonders of the sidefill flash, a translucent sweet wrapper and some gaffa tape. Wish I'd taken the time to use the tripod though, most of the pics were blurry. (Memo to self, must get hold of a decent lens...)

Looking forward to these Clearagh pics, though I know what you mean about how they can be a bugger to photograph. If it's a nice flat surface, clear of lichen, no probs, but these curvy/wavy/lichen-beardy panels are a right pain. Too many shadows.

I can't reiterate too often how chuffed I am to see that thanks to the solid efforts of youse Irish bods here on tma adding to FW's and Mr Weir's existing corpus, open-air Irish RA is starting to seem much more accessible to the non-academic enthusiast. Which will make my life so much easier when I one day get around to visiting :)
