Changing Light in Landscape Photography | Photographing Ireland | Part II

In this film shot at Pine Island, Derryclare Lough in Connemara, County Galway, I want to talk about the effect of changing light and how that impacts on the landscape around us.

We construct our photographs using light, technically defining the exposure of the image by controlling the quantity of light, the amount of light through setting our aperture, shutter speed and ISO.

But in this film I want to talk about the quality of light which in my opinion is fundamentally what paints the picture, what affords an image its substance, spirit, character - its essence.

The quality of light is the brushstroke we use to paint our images.

This has to be my favourite stop off from my Ireland trip and the landscape photography location where I shot my best images which I share with you in this video.

Derryclare Lough is located about 20 km (12 mi) east of Clifden on the N59 road. The Twelve Bens mountain range lies to the north of the lake, with the Ben of Derryclare 677 metres (2,221 ft) overlooking the lake itself. Derryclare Lough is fed from rivers from Lough Inagh, which itself is fed from several mountain streams in the area, but most importantly from the Gleninagh River that starts high up in the Gleninagh Valley on the slopes of Benbaun and Bencollaghduff, and the Tooreennacoona River.

Derryclare Lough flows into Ballynahinch Lake, where it eventually joins the Owenmore River, and flows into Bertraghboy Bay.

The lake is a popular scenic location, and extensively photographed, and offers views directly into the Glencoaghan Valley of the Twelve Bens and the peaks of the Glencoaghan Horseshoe, a 16–kilometre 8–9 hour route that is considered one of Ireland's best hill-walks.
