Cloudy Bay, Ireland

I had just finished up on a photography workshop on the coast of Ireland, the early part of the day was clean and clear but cloud covered the afternoon sky overlooking this bay.

Stopping to take a few images in the increasing wind and darkening skies, I was approached by a tourist who was unsure if I would get any images worth keeping, given that it was so dull and grey.

I took a few moments to chat about photography and how better to photograph the landscape, as a photographer with a lot of experience in travel, landscape and other fields [have a look at my site www.darrenmcloughlin.com] I was able to impart confidently that there were indeed images worth creating at the exact moment that both of us stood there.

The lighting was far from fantastic but the results were pleasing, particularly as the image in this post conveys the sense of drama that nature had thrown up on this afternoon at Cloudy Bay. Dramatic, atmospheric conditions replace the beautiful, sunny conditions expected.

Panoramic Ireland [that's me] create photography tours and workshops throughout Ireland, from it's many coastal bays to woodland scenes. To find out more contact me.
