Overcast conditions were certainly forecast but as is often the way the light, despite not being that perfect golden hour light as I have written about here and here, was actually worth the effort of getting up and out on location before 05:00.
The coast was quiet with only a few fishermen around making the most of a calm sea and warm winds. In the bay several ships passed from the horizon heading into busy Dublin Port.
Here just after sunrise, invisible to the eye due to heavy cloud on the horizon, the first rays of light strike across the cloudbase before fading as the sun's light became stronger.
This was just the beginning of a day's photography adventure starting with sunrise on the bay before heading through the green and empty Wicklow Mountains.
By midday it seemed that the whole world had joined us yet we had already been up and out with cameras, filters and tripods for eight hours.
Landscape photography requires patience, planning and the ability to adapt.
