The Fastnet Rock sits off the coast of West Cork, and getting out there is never straightforward. The lighthouse itself is a remarkable piece of engineering, built from Cornish granite in 1904 after the original cast iron tower proved unequal to the Atlantic.
I shot this from the base of the tower, looking straight up with the sun positioned just behind the lower section. That placement gives the starburst its clean lines, the light raking across the granite blocks and catching the edges of each course of stone. You can see the lantern room and its gallery railing sharp against the sky, with those characteristic small windows punctuating the shaft at intervals.
The Atlantic is visible on both sides at the base, which tells you everything about how exposed this rock really is!
Read the story behind these photographs, from six or seven nights out on the Fastnet Rock.
