Enchanted Forest, An Irish Woodland in Summer
Written by Darren McLoughlin
Ireland is currently (July 18th 2021) in the grip of a heatwave, one that has seen high temperatures all over the island including Northern Ireland's highest recorded temperature of 31.2C. There are few breezes and little cloud or rain, the beaches are packed and tourist hotspots are literally that - hotspots, in more than one way. So instead of photographing…

A sunny day in Dublin and until recently I couldn't help but think of the place as a bit of a ghost town. Usually a visit to the Phil Lynott statue in Dublin, just off Grafton Street, is busy no matter the time of day. But over most of the past year since the first lockdown in March 2020 right…

Castles in the Sand, Long Exposure Photography in Ireland
Written by Darren McLoughlin
I have written about castles before, namely my exploration of Barrymore Castle in Castlelyons, and Cahir Castle in County Tipperary that recently played host to Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Adam Driver and Jodie Comer for the filming of Ridley Scott's The Last Duel. Ireland is awash with castles but many are, unfortunately, barely more than a single stone. This is…

Every so often a little bit of colour catches your eye, here by the coast of Ireland I noticed every breaking wave and its spray carrying a rainbow of colour towards the white cliffs of the Antrim Coast. Rainbows are usually fleeting, relying on a mixture of sunshine and water vapour meeting at the correct angle to create the separation…

An Arrangement of Sheep, Co. Down, Northern Ireland
Written by Darren McLoughlin
Sometimes I get asked if the non-summer months, or at least October to March, are good for photography in Ireland. And of course the answer is yes. The autumn, winter and spring months hold some fantastic clear light days, moody overcast conditions, fog, burst of colour and often storms. These months also typically have fewer tourists around and so make…

Golden Light on Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way, Slieve League, Co. Donegal
Written by Darren McLoughlin
I have written about Slieve League or Sliabh Liag before, Ireland's highest mainland coastal cliffs. This is one of Ireland's finest landscapes with its indented, steep cliffs constantly battered by the Atlantic Ocean hundreds of metres below. Bright, golden light catches each of the rocky indents. Join me, in 2021 and 2022, to photograph in Ireland's most scenic locations.

Water falls over the waterfall, that's what a waterfall does; but sometimes in dry conditions, here during summer, it loses its scale. In full flow, the waterfall fills this rockface with a powerful force of continuously falling water, flowing fast from the deep rock pool below. Where water doesn't regularly flow vegetation can be found, green mats of bryophytes and…

Mosses and Ferns, an Irish Woodland Stream
Written by Darren McLoughlin
Ireland is a green country, except when it snows and even in winter (February in the image above) that green still shows in the fields and woodlands of the Irish countryside. Here, in a fine little woodland of beech, ash and oak a cascading stream flows over rocks as the low rays of the winter sun brightens riparian scene of…

A Little Snow in Ireland, Winter 2021 Not Over Yet
Written by Darren McLoughlin
While spring traditionally begins in Ireland on the 1st of February, on Saint Brigid's Day, meteorological winter continues through until the 1st of March. We have had some snow already in 2021 here in Ireland but most has now melted with warmer and wetter temperatures returning. In fact we had a 14C temperature change in 48 hours from -7 degrees…

Rugged Landscapes of the West of Ireland
Written by Darren McLoughlin
The West of Ireland, it's the place that I photograph most often in Ireland along with the Antrim Coast and Dublin. Here, a typical western scene of rugged mountains, very often coated with a soft green of grass and, here where you see the reddishness, bracken that has died back for the winter. Bracken is a type of fern Pteridium…

Morning, and a thin band of sunrise sunlight pierces thick cloud to illuminate the lower slopes of a cloud-covered mountain in the west of Ireland. Roads like these take you into the splendid scenic views in Ireland as they twist and turn, roll and flow through the rocky, boggy and lush green landscapes of the Irish countryside. Join me, Panoramic…

Landscapes of the West of Ireland, Connemara
Written by Darren McLoughlin
The sky above the west of Ireland, in particular Connemara, is more impressive than those of the rest of Ireland. Big, open blue skies and stormy skies stretching for miles are the likely scenes awaiting the photographer and visitor alike. Panoramic Ireland's photography workshops run all year round in Connemara, in Dublin and throughout Ireland. Contact me today to find…
