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 :)

Looks like it was a right old fiend of a rock to photograph. You've done it justice though, there's allsorts of stuff going on there.

D'you think the lighting brought out motifs that hadn't previously been identified? That would be pretty cool.
