The Wild Atlantic Way

The west coast of Eire is rightly christened The Wild Atlantic Way. The cliffs are spectacular and the scenery is beatiful. The waves roll relentlessly into crash against the rocks. There are some “famous” locations on the Wild Atlantic Way for photography, however, there are many other locations with great views and less tourists. Here you can enjoy the view and the sounds of the sea in peace and quiet, almost!

This image was captured south of Killee on the cliffs of the Loop peninsular. Bishop’s island is seen on the left, approaching the land like and  aircraft carrier. The wide angle lens has “stretched” the sky, although it allows us to see much more of the coast. Winding steep single track roads got us to this vantage point, sometimes right on the cliff edge!

Equipment:

Sony SLT-A65, 8-16 mm lens,
