And of course that's assuming you can get here, flights are relatively cheap but with many cancelled…

Written by Darren McLoughlin
It's a busy time for Panoramic Ireland at the moment, the long summer days see me busy leading photography tours and workshops in Ireland. I have also been photographing a lot of music concerts, but on a rare quiet evening after photographing for a client I made my way to one of my favourite places to photograph. Here, stone circles…

A recent visit to the coast brought me to a seabird sanctuary where I photographed many types of wild birds including puffins, razorbills, fulmars and guillemots. This image, and the others below, made me think of the famous Black Sabbath song War Pigs with its lyrics changed to "Guillemots gathered in their masses, just like witches at black masses..." Guillemots…

Pink Sky and White Cliffs at Sunset on the Antrim Coast, Ireland

A recent visit to the Antrim Coast, one of the finest sections of coast in the world, saw me heading off to Rathlin Island pictured to the left in this image. A quiet evening with a little cloud, and unusually for the Antrim Coast, little wind, saw some colour and movement in the scene as golden hour gave way to…

Walking in the Mountains, Snow in Ireland March 2022
Written by Darren McLoughlin
With the temperature warming fast and rain forecast, I took the opportunity to walk into the mountains to photograph the snowy landscape. On the steep road up into the mountains I met a woman, man and their dog, they told me of a long-abandoned village in the mountains; we chatted for a few minutes before I was on my way…

Sunset in the West of Ireland, Calming Colours
Written by Darren McLoughlin
Ireland is currently under a blanket of snow and while spring has started snow is not unusual in March. Indeed a few years ago, in 2018, we had heavy snowfall on Saint Patrick's Day and much of the month we had heavy snow with the 'Beast from the East' - although that term has taken on new meaning in recent…

In the Mountains, Colourful Ireland in Winter
Written by Darren McLoughlin
Panoramic Ireland hasn't seen much snow this winter, unlike in previous years. The Winter of 2021-2022 has been somewhat mild with a lack of snow, even in the mountains. Here in February, a narrow mountain road leads on into the distance towards distant mountains through a landscape of reddish-yellow winter heather and gorse. Winter and spring can still bring snow…

Golden Hour Winter Sunshine in the Mountains of Ireland
Written by Darren McLoughlin
For the first time in a while I ventured back to one of my favourite locations for landscape photography today. And, although the prevailing conditions were cloudy and windy, for a moment late afternoon sunshine broke through to illuminate the mountain ridge and enhance the red hues of the bracken and heather covered landscape. Seven sheep are just visible, grazing…
