Kylemore Abbey, in der Connemara direkt am Ufer des Lough Poolacappul gelegen, beherbergt seit 1922 ein Benediktinerinnenkloster mit Mädchenpensionat. Nur ein Teil des Gebäudes lässt sich besichtigen. 2018.06 Irland-609-BA

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.

One of the most beautiful and suggestive places visited in Ireland. Overhanging cliffs (without protection), the rock or isle of Downpatrick really looks like a slice of layered cake! Place frequented by mackerel fishermen standing on the edge, stretching out onto the void or by sheep that have no fear of the place where the wind that arrive energetic on fast.

Lungo il percorso che ci avrebbe portato a alla Bunbeg Wreck "Cara Na Mara" ecco presentarsi dinnanzi un moderno ponte lineare e sinuoso che spezzava il verde paesaggio Irlandese... Ne abbiamo subito approfittato e giocato con le sue geometrie e riflessi. Alcune placide pecore non hanno molto gradito la nostra presenza e si sono allontanate impaurite dai nostri scatti. Il fiume (poi scoperto essere mare) si muoveva placido da sinistra verso destra sintomo che l'alta marea stava entrando nel fiordo o insenatura Drongawn.

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... ;-)

I was quite lucky here with some beautiful weather during sunrise at this popular spot.

I'm just going though the photos from Northern Ireland and Donegal again and I still have many photos to process. Here's another one from Boyeegther Beach/ Murder Hole on the Rosguill peninsula in Donegal.

It was a crazy evening, first it wasn't so easy to find this beach and then the clouds were hiding most of the sun. But an hour before sunset it started to get magical and I think I took nearly 100 photos that evening. Mostly to make sure I had some without water drops on my filters showing. There was a lot of spray and after the sun had set I had 3 Lee filter cloths completely wet from cleaning my filters. In the end I couldn't get them clean anymore and had to shoot without filters. When shooting at the coast you just can't have enough filter cloths with you ;-)

I used a lee 0.6 soft + 0.6 hard gnd here and also blended in parts of the sky from a darker exposure. Then my normal postprocessing.

my start2finish postprocessing tutorial can be found here: Start2Finish Post Processing Tutorial

Formata quasi essenzialmente di materiale calcareo, come le altre due isole Aran e come il Burren sull'isola d'Irlanda, presenta due grosse spiagge nella parte orientale e una lunga zona costiera di particolarissime scogliere nella parte sud-occidentale, visibile in foto, dov'è situato anche il forte di Dún Aengus.

Stormy evening at murder hole beach on the rosguill peninsula in Ireland. A lot of sea spray made it a hard time for camera and filters, but I got some decent shots that evening. Here I used a lee 0.6 soft and a lee 0.6 hard gnd to balance the sky against the sea, my typical combo. This made it possible to get this shot in one exposure.

cheers

Klosterruine im Ort Kilmacduagh, 5 km westlich der Ortschaft Gort im County Galway in Irland. Das Kloster soll im 7. Jahrhundert vom Heiligen Colman MacDuagh von der Iroschottischen Kirche gegründet worden sein. Der (schiefe) Rundturm gehört zu den best erhaltenen in Irland. Mit fast 35 m ist er der höchste noch vollständige Turm. Er weist eine Abweichung von 60 cm aus der Senkrechten auf und stammt ungefähr aus dem 12. Jahrhundert. 2018.06 Irland-502-BA

Another photo from Donegal. This was the last good light of our vacation. And it was quite a chase to find a good location to shoot that evening. I had nothing planned. The day before we'd been to murder hole, now we were driving along the Atlantic drive and looking down to the coast this area looked promising with all those rocks. So I parked the car and went down. There was even a little blow hole in the cliffs where the water went up nearly 30feet when the waves crashed in.

I used a lee 0.6 soft + hard gnd here to cope with dynamic range. Still some blending was needed. Especially for the sunstar which I shot at f/22. The rest was shot at f/11 for sharpness. It needed some blending to put this together in a clean way and then some contrast and color work followed.

The techniques used on this image I also describe in my start2finish tutorial if you're interested -> Start2Finish Post Processing Tutorial

One of the most beautiful and suggestive places visited in Ireland. Overhanging cliffs (without protection), the rock or isle of Downpatrick really looks like a slice of layered cake! Place frequented by mackerel fishermen standing on the edge, stretching out onto the void or by sheep that have no fear of the place where the wind that arrive energetic on fast.

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

Fanad Head Lighthouse from this direction isn't that much about dramatic cliffs, as from the western direction. However lots of heather make an amazing foreground!

Giunti in una baia alla ricerca di una barca arenata sono stato attratto da questo cimitero che si ergeva a pochi metri da una baia marina. Il vento, la pioggia e il cielo hanno completato l'atmosfera del posto.

In the north Ireland i find finally the very Ireland, oldest one and also the original and wild country. The colour is a incredible green whit sometimes mixed whit the blue of the sky and the white of the clouds...i suggest to you this place if you visit this Isle, The best way to get a look inside and on the real Ireland whit its sheep, its rain and the original people that live and work every days there...
