Autumn in Ireland: A Time of Colour and Drama

Some people may think that Ireland and other northerly European countries are dark and dank in autumn and winter but this time of year, as well as having lots of colour in the woodlands, fields and hedgerows of the countryside, brings stormy skies and colourful clouds.

Here, one of Panoramic Ireland's favourite scenes from the west of Ireland as the sun begins to set after a warm October day, the colours in the sky and reflected on the lake signalling good weather to continue for a day or so at least.

Autumn is still continuing so if you are visiting Ireland here in this colourful month, the rest of autumn or the winter do check out Panoramic Ireland's photography workshops that operate year round all over Ireland from the Antrim Coast to Dingle and the Copper Coast. While the west of Ireland offers stunning landscape photography opportunities like the scene above, we also offer urban photography tours in Dublin.

Great photo walk with gifted photographer
Dublin Urban Photography Tour • Oct 2025 • Solo

Spent a great half day with Darren exploring Dublin in the wind and rain. He was a great guide, giving plenty of ideas for approaching photos, working with reflections and finding some good spots for street photography. We started at 8:00 at my hotel and walked through docklands, along the Liffey, Trinity, Temple Bar and City Hall and then looped back. He was very patient and good company.

The colour of autumn in Ireland is not to be missed, while the country doesn't have as much woodland and forest cover as other European countries there are plenty of hedges and other wooded locations in the Emerald Isle.

Here, the scenery from a native, natural woodland - an Atlantic rainforest no doubt, the colour as we move towards autumn is just perfect.

This is one of Panoramic Ireland's favourite times of year to photograph in Ireland, why not join me to capture scenes from places like this and all over the scenic Irish countryside.

October and November booking now available, as well as the rest of the quiet season when landscape photography is much more enjoyable - come and photograph in Ireland during autumn, winter and spring for the best experience.

An Irish Autumn: Weather and Light

September can be a changeable month here in Ireland. The summer has ended, autumn is here, but sometimes the month just doesn't know what weather to give us.

On a photography workshop in the west today that's exactly what we got: warm sunshine, hailstones, rain, cold winds, and blue sky. All in the space of a few hours.

A serenely scenic morning photographing at the lake at sunrise as the Sun rises over the small wooded island with its ruined tower reflecting in the calm waters. 

You never know what you will get with a sunrise, the weather plays a big part in how a location will look and in this case it was worth the effort to make sunrise on this photography workshop.
