I've been exploring the Irish countryside, photographing landscapes, rivers, woodlands and waterfalls a lot recently.
The weather has been mixed with some fine sunny days and some rainy spells, but the Irish countryside looks great in any case.
Photographing woodland streams and waterfalls in Ireland, the Irish countryside is filled with places like these.
During a cloudy afternoon, Panoramic Ireland headed into the mountains and found interesting scenes of sheep grazing in fields, cloudy mountain sides and into the woodlands to photograph streams, colour and waterfalls as seen here that suited the conditions.
Soon after the weather cleared, as it often does, the landscapes of the open countryside became more worthy of the photographer's attention and we headed into the interior of Ireland.
Join Panoramic Ireland on a photography workshop and tour in Ireland, photographing waterfalls, the coast, Dublin's urban scenes and ruins in the countryside.
Lasting for a short time either side of sunrise and sunset the ephemeral light is soft and colourful, sympathetic to the natural landscapes.
I do enjoy visiting the famous places in Ireland, there's Kilkenny, Dingle, Dublin and the Giant's Causeway to name a few.
But I also enjoy leading photography workshops in the non-famous places here in Ireland - those places that make up the bulk of the Irish countryside such as here in the above image of a typical woodland scene in spring.
Street photography is an interesting pursuit, often requiring more patience than landscape photography.
Street photography often suits inclement weather, but more often than not it suits bright, sunshiny, direct light.
And then, on we go capturing scenes from this scenic part of the world.
Join me to photograph the west of Ireland, all year round.
