Written by Darren McLoughlin
Sidelighting in Ireland's Wicklow Mountains. The scenic wilderness of the Wicklow mountain landscape is quite unlike anywhere else in Ireland, especially when combined with unusual cloud and weather patterns. Here, sidelighting from late evening sunshine breaks through high cloud and illuminates the remote valleys. 2023 is a good year to visit Ireland, join Panoramic Ireland to photograph in Wicklow as…

Path to the Sun, Ireland in Winter - Photographing in the Mountains
Written by Darren McLoughlin
This week has seen plenty of cold weather again, nothing too cold but enough for ice, frost and, in some parts of Ireland, snow. 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
Written by Darren McLoughlin
Winter is a perfect time for photography in Ireland, there are stormy days and calm days like here in this image - days with bright golden sunshine. The Mournes are one of my favourite places to photograph in Ireland, situated in County Down, about an hour south of Belfast; Slieve Donard, pictured here, reaches 850m above sea level and is…

I have written about Dublin at Christmas before, the city is of course well known for its nightlife and vibrant culture but recently Dublin has made it on to the Conde Nast Traveller best cities for Christmas list. And I would have to agree, there are plenty of bars, lots of great museums and sights to see. Strangely though the…

Reflections from Dublin's Custom House
Written by Darren McLoughlin
Dublin's Custom House is no stranger to the pages of Panoramic Ireland, the iconic structure was finished in 1791 and has been probably Dublin's most recognisable building ever since. Architect James Gandon designed and oversaw the construction of the Custom House, literally the place where taxes or customs were paid on good coming in to and out of Dublin. Built…

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…

Golden Hour at the Coast, Coastal Landscape Photography in Ireland
Written by Darren McLoughlin
Blue hour and golden hour are the ideal times of day for coastal landscape photography. Here, a small sea stack and vertical cliffs on Ireland's Atlantic coast catch the end of the evening's direct light, the warmth of which lends its name to the time of day - the golden hour as the light half of the year ends in…

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.

Here, a sunset seascape from the Irish coast as the light half of the year ends, the Celtic new year begins and although this will be the dark half of the year, the light will be fantastic.
