The Importance of Patience in Landscape Photography

The location was like an idyllic postcard to be fair, with two trees sitting on a hillside, old original Connemara stone walls crisscrossing the undulations of the hills below them and all surrounded by a magnificent lake, upon arrival, I knew just why Bernard liked it so much. The area was also home to a hundred or so sheep, who were on hand to greet us upon our arrival. The sounds of the ewes and their lambs were very nice to hear, it was like they were either welcoming Bernard back or were telling us to stay out as they made quite the racket and all lined up on the hillside above us.
I also knew right then that they would feature in some shots, due to the amount of them and their placements all around us. All we needed was the light to get that ONE shot

Patience is much easier when you've got a mate there to have the craic with! Cracking views and photos. 🙂

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

Very true Buddy ! The craic was mighty for the few days! Wait till you see next weeks video 😎🤩

[@roberthennessey5702]

They say patience is a virtue . Great waiting it out, I think we have all been there. Many times it’s easy just to pack it in. But if your patience it sometimes does pay off …nice vid..glorious sky guys.

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

Looks like they might o been twirl hunting 😂 summer can be bad but it’s not bad in general even when it is 🕺
