Hi Adam,
Greetings from Applecross, Perth, Western Australia.
If your ancestors are also from Innishowen, I’m hoping you may be able to help me find out more about my ancestors who came from the areas around Fahan & Buncranna & Innishowen & a small townland called Umrycam, close to Buncrana. My Great,Great Grandfather was Daniel Clements born 1853 in Umrycam. Son of John Clements born 1810 & Agnes/Ann/Nancy McCairns born 1811 Fahan. Grandson of John Clements & Catherine Campbell both born abt 1780. and Hugh McCairns & Agnes Porter both born Abt 1792.
Agnes Porter was the daughter of Peter Porter & Agnes Mc Laughlin both born abt 1775. If you or anyone else can help me I’d be most grateful.
Kindest Regards,
Christine Robbins nee O’Brien.

Hiya, Adam
Greetings from Massachusetts!
Love your photos – would like to buy some prints – how can I get hold of them?
Hi Adam,
I love your photos of the northern lights. Can you advise what kind of settings are best on your camera please? My photos look like blobs on screen and don’t even show up at all when printed! It’s a skill I clearly need to work on!
Great photographs. Amazing lights and colour. Dan Jack Lorinyenko
