HibernoManchego (formerly Mike at Sea)'s photostream  

I'm Irish, I worked offshore for just over twelve years but live in Spain. My ship was mainly the Western Neptune, owned by WesternGeco, where I was a geophysicist working in various parts of the world. Currently I am looking at starting my own business in Spain.

I tend not to post process much, just a bit of sharpening and slight adjustment to brightness and contrast. Could be just lack of knowledge, but also not much need. Anyway, I think that nature should be shown the way it is, not the way you think it should look.

If you wish to use any of my photos please contact me at:

If you don´t and I find you have used it you will receive a short, sharp e-mail, without any apologies for the sharpness.

You can also see my blogs (sporadically updated) at:
