Written by Darren McLoughlin
Located deep within the widest of the nine Glens of Antrim, Glenariff, the lesser known of the falls on the section is Ess na Crub, which means Fall of the Hooves. This name refers to the thunderous roar of the falls even when there isn't much flow, it's incredibly easy to locate by its sound. Glenariff comes from the Irish,…

Quiraing and Trotternish Ridge, Isle of Skye, Scotland
Written by Darren McLoughlin
The Quiraing and Trotternish is undoubtedly one of the most photogenic landscape locations in the world. The Quiraing is part of the 19-mile long Trotternish Ridge, a huge, natural landslip which is the largest in Scotland. Quiraing takes its name from the Scottish Gaelic Cuith Raing which itself is derived from the Old Norse Kví Rand, meaning “round fold/enclosure”, a…

Visiting Ireland in March? Don't Just Think Saint Patrick's Day
Written by Darren McLoughlin
When you think about Ireland in March, the first thing that often springs to mind is Saint Patrick's Day, the 17th of March. And no wonder, it's one of the world's most famous holidays with festivals and parades held in every continent.

Happy New Year from the West of Ireland - First Sunset of 2025
Written by Darren McLoughlin
It might make more sense to post the first sunrise of a new year from New Year's Day rather than the first sunset. But where I am, in the west of Ireland, with wide views to the west and high ground to the east, sunset is a more appropriate time of day for photography. So here, a scene from the…

The Green Road, Weaving Through the Irish Landscape
Written by Darren McLoughlin
The green roads or lanes of Ireland are impressive but can often be quite hard to find. They are unlike other small country roads in Ireland, they don't have a metalled surface, they weave between fields through the Irish landscape but often have become disused or paved over. These green roads often would have been routes between townlands, forming part…

Aurora Borealis, Northern Lights Over Ireland With Reflections
Written by Darren McLoughlin
The year 2024 has certainly blessed us with plenty of opportunity to photograph the Northern Lights or aurora borealis here in Ireland. Last night's amazing display coincided with my visit to a calm west of Ireland lake, photographing throughout the evening in different directions to make the most of the ever-changing celestial light show that is the aurora. I wasn't…

Calm Evening and Sun Rays at Sunset on the Atlantic
Written by Darren McLoughlin
A calm evening close to sunset with cloud obscuring the best of the western sky over the edge of Ireland. Yet it's still a scenic view as a few breaks in the cloud allows the orange-red sun rays through to briefly illuminate the surface of the Atlantic Ocean. Panoramic Ireland's photography tours and workshops are running all through autumn, winter…

Cloud Fills the Valley, Photographing Landscapes in the West of Ireland
Written by Darren McLoughlin
Morning sunlight somewhere behind the clouds in the west of Ireland. Before the heat of the day, low cloud and fog sit in the valley in front of the heather-clad mountains. Photography in Ireland is always a mystery, the weather forecast may say good weather or bad weather but the day, and a journey through the countryside, often reveals a…

A bright sunset behind deep cloud over the Atlantic fades to blue as night sets in on Ireland's west coast, the Wild Atlantic Way. And it was a wild night on the Atlantic with the wind blowing, clouds forming and the cold spread of night after a long day of photography of Ireland's wild landscapes. This was not a disappointing…

Wisping Clouds and Golden Sunlight - Irish Landscape Photography
Written by Darren McLoughlin
In the depths of the Irish countryside, the sun rises slowly illuminating the rugged, mountainous countryside. Clouds lift off the valley floor, wisping along the steep slope of the mountains as the early morning sunlight highlight the quartzite rocks. Such scenes make some of my favourite landscape photography images. Empty of people, early in the day or late in the…

People of Dublin as Pints of Guinness, Street Photography in Ireland
Written by Darren McLoughlin
Dublin is a good place for street photography, full of character in its people and its buildings. Often in the streetscape itself although some difficulty exists throughout much of the city centre with visual intrusions. This scene is a good example, a classic image of a cobbled street filled with old buildings and the famous Guinness gatebeing passed by two…
