Eucalyptus tree down

The storm last week did a lot of damage all over Ireland. Here are some photos of one of my beloved photo workshop locations, Kells Bay Garden.
In a matter of an hour a lot of trees were knocked down and making it rather challenging to walk trough the park.
A lot of work in the next couple weeks to clear the ways.
However very soon the first flowers starting to appear. The Camelia tree is already in blossom. Go and see the power of nature and the beauty too.

Skelligs+Wind+ Light = Happy Photographer

One of the things that I like most in photography are those moments of luck when everything turnes unexpected my way.
 I suppose everybody dedicated photographer had many of those moments when the light came back suddenly and this special moment just presents itself.
 The Photographer Henri Cartier Bresson used to call it the gift that you receive when you are ready to receive it.

Taking photos during strong winds needs you to set the camera for a fast shutterspeed to get some clear shots even on the tripod. Hold the camera face down between shots to prevent salt and spraygetting on  your front lens or use your lens cover. Stay at a safe distance from the sea and check the tide in advance.
Enjoy nature and photography.
