Irish Sea, White Park Bay, Ireland, Canon 5dmkII |
It was very difficult to photograph in a wind that strong - had to shoot at high ISO and shutter speeds and still hold the tripod down - the other problem was the water being blown on to the front element of the lens.....fun day all around fighting the elements....in the end it all worked out and now I know a few new places to get back too in the future....
Below is the image made just to the right of the above image - shot with my iPhone 4s also on a tripod.....took a few creative liberties with this one.
This morning it is the 'political murals' in West Belfast...Needed to hire a car and driver as the advice was to not go in there without a local....looking forward to seeing these famous murals close up with a camera in my hand.
stay tuned..more coming...

Great Northern Irish weather! Wind blowing full pelt in off the Atlantic. Bracing! I bet you felt ALIVE, no matter what it did to your camera.
ReplyDeleteYou're a brave man going into West Belfast to photograph the murals. I was born and raised in Northern Ireland and lived there till I was 19 and I have never been to West Belfast and don't see myself ever going. Yes, you will need a local guide but the trouble is figuring out whether or not you've got the right local....
Good luck and good shooting, Harry. Or, better still, no shooting at all (of the other type.)
Glad you have plenty weather. It brings a whole new element to shooting landscapes and no two days are the same :)
