Dawn at Fanad Head brought some nice cloud, just enough to make a good long exposure.

I was testing the very wide angle Laowa 9mm lens here and yeah, pretty happy with the result... ;-)

La penisola di Fanad è uno degli angoli imperdibili del Donegal. Vi attendono scogliere selvagge e magnifiche spiagge sabbiose ideali per una giornata di sole. Il punto sicuramente più suggestivo e romantico, come una cartolina anni ’20, è il faro posizionato sulla punta rocciosa più estrema di Fanad Head. Venne costruito dopo una funesta tragedia in mare avvenuta durante una tempesta: un naufragio in cui perì tutto l’equipaggio della fregata Saldanha. Unico sopravvissuto, un pappagallo.

Fanad Light

Had to wait a long for this moment. The last photo below was shot nearly an hour earlier and in between there wasn't much sweet light and color, which I had hoped for. But as the sun appeared all changed.

A lot of blending was involved here to get a clean shot with the sunstar. If you are interested in my workflow, I've a detailed tutorial for another photo I've taken in Ireland -> Start2Finish Post Processing Tutorial

Beautiful Fanad Lighthouse during twilight. I had to get up very early to get this photo. 3.50am the clock was ringing and then I had to drive 40minutes up to the tip of the fanad peninsula. I had scouted this area the day before, 2 hours before we went to murder hole.

Some very productive days, starting with this awesome giants causeway sunset, then murder hole beach and the morning after this sweet soft light at fanad. All within 48 hours. There are still some more photos to come but they really have to wait till after corsica.

This photo was processed using my typical processing workflow, as I describe in my start2finish tutorial: Start2Finish Post Processing Tutorial

cheers
