Update from Panoramic Ireland

Panoramic Ireland has been very busy this summer so far leading photography tours in Ireland.

Here is the first in a series of updates as to what I have been up to since last time.

End of Winter in Killarney

Have you been to Killarney in winter?

If you visit Ireland in the winter the weather may not be the best, but it always throws up beautiful light that makes landscape photography such a delight.

Here the lakes and mountains of the Killarney National Park with snow-capped peaks and fishing boats at the end of winter. On the day that I was here with Tim, a computer programmer from Dublin we waited alomst two hours at this location as several fishermen came and went, the light changed from dull to patches of sunlight. 

Sometimes with landscape photography you want to cover several locations but on this day we were happy to get out the tripods, filters and in my case a Canon 5D Mk III and 24-70mm f2.8L lens. Tim was using a Nikon, and during the few hours we were at this location we talked about the two camera systems. We also worked on some panoramic images but the image above is my personal favourite from the day.

It makes me want to head straight back down there but of course that clear winter light and snow on the mountains will be long gone.

Have you been to Killarney? I would like to see some of your images if you have been to County Kerry; if you want to have an image on the website please send them to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

After sunset in Connemara

The Atlantic Ocean after sunset

A long day in Connemara, one of my favourite places in Ireland. A place that I could never get tired of and a great location for landscape and seascape photography. Beautiful.

Irish Trader - Baltray, Irish Sea

Wreck of The Irish Trader

Irish Trader Shipwreck, Baltray

I have often led photography workshops to the beach at Baltray for one reason - the shipwreck of the Irish Trader seen here surrounded by the Irish Sea on a very windy day.

The ship was run aground here in 1974 during storms in the Irish Sea and it has remained on the flat sandy beach ever since.

A Dublin Street Art Tour

Canvaz Street Art on the walls of Dublin

It has been a while since I have written about a photo tour so last week's walk around Dublin with Em from Australia makes a good reintroduction to the story of the day.

Dunluce Castle, Co. Antrim

Dunluce Cow, bovine landscapes of Co. Antrim

Cow of Dunluce

I took this image in 2006 in my native Northern Ireland. On a beautifully sunny June day with few tourists around. I often get asked if it is real, along with the header image on my Facebook page of this cow's fieldmate, both were taken on the same day and both are real rather than Photoshopped.
