The snow line can be seen easily and…

So we headed into the mountains, to photograph some of the ice and frost, no snow here. Here, on the climb towards the ridge and peak there was plenty of white on the hard forestry road.…

Sunlight and Shadow - Winter Light in the Mourne Mountains

And I would have to agree, there are plenty of bars, lots of great museums and sights to see. Strangely though the…

The original tower was destroyed and rebuilt in 1370, the…

Get Up and Get Out, Photography at Sunrise
Written by Darren McLoughlin
There can be no doubt that the best times of day to photograph are around sunrise and sunset with the combination of colours and gentle light. But if I had to choose one of these, it would be sunrise. The day is just getting started and there is a sense of privilege to be had when standing in the countryside…

Written by Darren McLoughlin
Blue hour and golden hour are the ideal times of day for coastal landscape photography.

Sunset Seascape, Start of Winter in Ireland
Written by Darren McLoughlin
As I mentioned in a previous post, in Irish tradition the winter has started with the beginning of the dark half of the year after Halloween.
