I would say, however, that a camera that allows you to take long exposures via a bulb timer would be great as it will enable us to create some long exposure images like that featured here.
I can provide the locations and indeed I have been photographing the coast of Ireland for many years, some more of my coastal images can be seen here.
Coastal photography classes start from €185 or £185 and you can enquire by contacting me via the contact page.
