Diamond beach today in the mist and rain was difficult to put it mildly. Straight off the back of the camera.
Photography is all about light so this made it a bit difficult.
Unfinished business here but I will be back

My "What's in my camera bag" video has just gone live on my YouTube channel so if you want to see what's always in my camera bag for my landscape shoots then why not head on over and have a look.

Really looking forward to getting back to some landscape photography now soon. I just can't wait to soak in the salt, to feel the tide twist around my feet along with the cool breeze from the sea whistling past and finally my favourite part... to watch the sea dance along the beaches of West Cork again.
I love this time of year and can't wait to get back out there again. This photograph was captured with a six stop Formatt Hitech Filters & Formatt Hitech USA filter with a 3 stop graduated filter.

A shot from last night, we had just finished up the 6 hour workshop and I took this shot quickly before the sun got smothered by the clouds.

After an incredibly long week it was a fantastic way to finish it all off.

Shot with a 6 stop Formatt Hitech Filters Onyx filter and a 3 stop Onyx graduated filter.

This was my second photoshoot with the f-stop Gear AJNA bag this week and I have e to say I am loving it so far.

Loads of space and super comfortable with a bit of weight in it also.

Shot on a Nikon D850 with a Laowa by Venus Optics 12mm F2.8 lens.

The stunning Dunluce castle in County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
What a place and what a view.
The castle sits on top of a basalt rock formation and is joined to land view a bridge. It truly has to be one of the most stunning locations in Ireland.
