The west of Ireland is one of Panoramic Ireland's favourite places to photograph, often the coast is preferred but sometimes, in cloudy conditions, the valleys of the ancient mountains are more scenic.
Here, in County Mayo, sunshine moves through the valley from the steep, rocky sides to the lakey valley floor.
Join me, Panoramic Ireland, to photograph in the west of Ireland.
An hour or so of changing conditions and changing my viewpoint up and down this short stretch of coastline allowed me to photograph a specific image. then to bed and ready for the next morning.
Next visit will be for photography as well, but maybe after that a little bit of time to have a picnic and a stroll or even swimming in this fine mountain valley lake.
Of course, now at the end of November we are seeing early sunsets in Ireland at approximately 16:30 and we will soon reach the shortest day of the year.
Winter is a fine time for photography in Ireland, short days mean that sunrise and sunset are easier to be up and out for, the crowds of summer have gone and often a good winter storm brings interest to the coast.
In long exposure photography we are looking to use movement in at least one part of the image, here that is in the bottom half more so than the top.
It is likely that we will see more snow in 2021 but for the moment warmer weather is on the way.
