Ireland's west coast is often known as the Wild Atlantic Way, the coastal driving route that covers its 2500 km.

There are many famous locations along this magnificent route on Ireland's Atlantic coast, and there are plenty of locations that aren't famous at all but are worthy of a visit by anyone with an appreciation of the great outdoors, particularly the photographer.

Here, an image of those strong, relentless waves crashing upon the shore.

Storm Ali raced across Ireland last week and Panoramic Ireland was photographing around the coast of Ireland.

A photography evening on the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland.

Each day's sunset is different, there are no two sunsets the same even in the same location.

Here is a case in point, a few days ago I photographed the sunset here in the west of Ireland. It was a bright evening with some cloud and plenty of blue sky - see image below and this link.

Dublin isn't just a city of amazing architecture, great pubs and leafy parks, it's also a city of impressive skies.

Here the iconic Ha'penny Bridge spanning the River Liffey is illuminated by a double rainbow.

This week saw Panoramic Ireland, that's me - a real person, photographing on Dublin's River Liffey on another of my one-to-one Dublin photo tours.

We covered some of the city sights before finishing up along the River Liffey, an exciting part of the city in which to photograph.

Using a tripod at this time of night is necessary, the long exposures required mean that the camera should be solid and steady and protected from movement.

The night lights of the various buildings, including the hoops on the Convention Centre, add to the atmosphere of the urban night time environment. These cityscapes are something that changes a lot along the river and through time but I'm sure you will find it to be a colourful experience.

T.N. from Australia was on this tour with me and this is what he had to say:

“Darren is a terrific guide and a very kind and personable host. He took me on a great walking tour of Dublin City where we explored and took some great photos of several sights off the tourist trail. Darren is genuinely passionate about Dublin city as he is about his craft and he was very generous with sharing his abundant knowledge and experiences. I had a really enjoyable day and took many tips away with me that I will apply in my photography going forward. I highly recommend this experience to anyone at all, local or from abroad, who is interested in photography and is after a unique personalized experience photographing Dublin city.”

The still of a calm say in Dublin, Ireland's capital city and its famous River Liffey reflecting all above.

In the left of this image is the Jeannie Johnston, a replica famine ship and through the back of the scene is the now iconic portion of Dublin's modern skyline - the Samuel Beckett Bridge projecting into the sky.

Join me on a photography tour in Dublin to photograph the city, its modern and old scenes.

The rugged mountains of Ireland stand over the flat boglands of waterlogged earth.

Here the peaks, not particularly high, rounded by erosion during the Ice Age stand guard over the Irish landscape as they have for aeons.

It has been a busy few weeks here in Ireland, I have been photographing all over the island leading photography workshops and tours.

It's been a busy week here at Panoramic Ireland, I've been leading photography tours and workshops all over Ireland and here, this image from yesterday shows some of the beautiful landscapes through which we travel regularly.
