October in Ireland

Are you visiting Ireland out of season? While most head to the Emerald Isle during the longer days of summer when temperatures are higher, the autumn, winter and spring offer much more interest photographically.

Recently I was asked what Ireland is like in October, is it worth coming to for photography and of course my answer was indeed it is worth visiting in October.

Here are some of my favourite images from Octobers over the years, a small selection but waterfalls and woodlands make up a lot of the locations.

Ireland is usually still quite colourful to the end of October, autumn colour in the leaves before they fall. Sunlight is golden, the skies dramatic and sunrise and sunset is much easier to photograph on the same day than in summer.

So if you are planning to visit in October, or the other off season months, check out Panoramic Ireland's photography tours and workshops.
