Cliffs of Moher, Ireland (September 2009)
Those of you who’ve been around Journey Photographic for a while will have no doubt noticed that I am not a landscape shooter, at least not of the sweeping-vistas-in-beautiful-evening/morning-light variety. That said, when I decided to visit Ireland, one of my major goals was to work on my landscape skills.
The Cliffs of Moher seemed like the perfect subject, but on our arrival we were greeted by a dark grey sky, blustering winds and freezing rain. Luckily, I managed to squeeze in a visit after dinner the next day, when conditions were decidedly more agreeable (although the freezing temperatures remained the same).
And if these cliffs look familiar, they’ve featured in many movies, including a starring role as the ‘Cliffs of Insanity’ in the movie of The Princess Bride.
