Landscape Photography: Maximising keeper rate at epic locations

Travel PhotographyBy jimmymcdonnell 5 Comments

Landscape Photography: Maximising keeper rate at epic locations Easterhorn, Iceland As an amateur landscape photographer, opportunities to visit epic locations such as Lofoten, Iceland or the Scottish highlands are limited. When an opportunity for travel arises, an overly ambitious plan is often drafted in an effort to squeeze every last drop of potential from the…

PhotographyBy jimmymcdonnell 1 Comment

Proceeding to the copse of 5 trees beyond the crossroad, a haunting atmosphere descended through fog. I observed a Merlin hunting a pipit on the way, relentless in its pursuit, arcing up and driving the quarry down to the heather over and over. I hope the pipit managed an escape.

The ruined church at Dunlewey is cradled between these two fine locations. As such, the area…

Donegal: Melmore, Fanad and Horn Head With a dearth of Irish portfolio landscape images, I promised myself earlier this year to spend more time exploring Ireland. Birdwatching, holidaying and scuba diving have brought me to many beautiful locations in Ireland and unsurprisingly these locations double as prime landscape photographic sites. Each pursuit reveals the same…
