Try This Photography Approach & You’ll Get Amazing Results
Now when exploring a new location for the first time, it is important to take your time and look at the area with your photographer’s eye, otherwise, you may miss an opportunity to photograph an area, and given that this was my first time at this location with my camera, you would think that I would take my own advice? Absolutely not, as on this occasion I wasn’t exploring alone, I was tagging along with a local who knew the way and more about the areas of interest.
However, even with this knowledge we decided that a different approach would be needed, not a fixed and steady one, but more of a run-and-gun one. The reason was the light was fleeting and the gaps in the clouds were moving fast, resulting in possible shots coming and going just as fast. We need to allow the light to guide us on this adventure, be fluid in our approach and be on the lookout for compositions on the fly.
I had already had a taste for the area which I detailed in my last Blog and Video, and as we continued to drive along the many winding roads, I was drawn to the scenery and captivated by the light. The views in this area of Connemara were simply stunning, and I wonder what would be the first thing to stop us in our tracks, grab the cameras and shoot?

    I learned this on one of my trips. It was going to be a damp and rainy day tomorrow. So the day before i had decided to just drive home and call my trip done. The next day as im packing my gear into my car I pause and look around at the West Virginia mountains around me. Immediately i was struck as the mist rolled down the hollows like rivers and collected in the small creek valleys. It was then i decided to continue on to my final few spots. There i captured some of the most beautiful fog filled forest scapes. They were dark and mysterious. I ended up soaked to the bone from the on and off rain, but damn was it worth it.

    Hi Darren, Love all the boat pictures especially the long exposures. I have no real right to make a judgement on the trees as you are both far more competent photographers than me. However you said you would be interested in any thoughts, so from someone who's just learning composition from you and others I'll give it a go. I think I preferred the final look of your composition, but might have preferred Bernards if he was a bit lower and had slightly more separation between the tree and hedge. Would that have still worked? Looking forward to behind the raw as always.

To this day, when photographing, I automatically consider the tonal range of the scene in B&W out of habit. It has just become second nature to think in mono-tone. Anyway, keep up the good work.

    I got tempted by the proliferation of magnet filters that have come to the market in recent years and bought these Kase filters about 9 months ago. Whilst I like the convenience of the magnet and stackable ND's I've not been impressed with the performance of the CPL in this kit. It just doesn't polarise anywhere near as well as my previous screw-in B+W Kaseman CPL which I used for years. I also find rotating the magnetic CPL just awkward compared to the traditional rotating mounts. It's also flimsy, and I put mine in a pocket temporarily on a shoot recently, sat down and unfortunately it cracked and splintered. Not sure whether to replace it or go back replace it with the traditional screw-in type.

    • @DarrenJSpoonley
      @DarrenJSpoonley Před 8 dny

    Enjoyed that Darren some lovely shots and footage, what a shame there's no access to get an angle on shooting the lighthouse. Great bonus that the Coastguard turned up shows some great scale! Well done!

      Thanks a million, Damien, It's a great spot for sure, I was lucky enough to be able to visit it years ago before it was privatised, a good side to my vintage I guess :-)
