Dramatic Irish Skies

July 12, 2023

It’s fair to say Ireland is not famous for its sunshine coast. It’s not a lounge-by-the-pool sort of place. Our little island is exposed to all that wild weather that builds from the Atlantic Ocean. As landscape photographers let’s raise a glass to that transient light. With changeable weather comes the possibility of dramatic clouds and stunning lighting. Something I think we can all get behind for photography.

So bring the drama and keep it coming.

Hopefully, you enjoy a small sample of images below that really capture the amazing atmosphere of the Irish landscape.

The epic Bowl on Beara forms the perfect foreground to compliment a great sunset. This is what happens when dull skies suddenly open at sunset in Ireland. Second exposure needed to blend with the sky. By Daragh .. We love Nikon, Kase Filters, Conns Cameras and Shimoda Bags.

Inis Mor – Ireland by Daragh. When epic Irish walls meet epic Irish light. That Daragh has a keen eye for composition. We love Nikon, Kase Filters, Conns Cameras and Shimoda Bags.

A moment of beautiful calm as the clouds cleared at sunset in Doo Lough. I loved the wee pocket of light and how it interacted with the tress. A stunning location. We love Nikon, Kase Filters, Conns Cameras and Shimoda Bags. d850 , 14mm, f11 1/60 Lee Filters .9 Soft

Stacks – Bloody Foreland, Donegal It feel like the end of the world up at Bloody Foreland. Rugged and raw is the best description I have. Hopefully this image pays homage to those characteristics. We love Nikon, Kase Filters, Conns Cameras and Shimoda Bags.
