A few moments of Magic 17.02.10
17th February 2010
Today I spent the day teaching. I met Michael at 7.15 am for a day of one to one tuition. We decided to meet early in the hopes of starting with a practical landscape session and needed to be on location at a lake near Westport by 8.45 to photograph the sunrise. There wasn’t one! We had the session anyway but the weather was very overcast and cold so there were no good pictures taken.
We went back to the studio to work on photoshop and on indoor flash photography. At about 5pm we noticed the weather was brightening up and so made a quick dash to Rossbeg to get the sun setting behind Croagh Patrick. When we arrived there were big black couds over Croagh Patrick and it looked like we might be unlucky for the second time today and Michael would be going back to Galway with no “Image of Mayo” but as the sky cleared and the sun set there were a few moments of magic.
Michael decided to try a panorama and took six shots which we then stitched in photoshop to create the picture below, aren’t those clouds great? The perfect end to the day. We had to work very fast when photographing the sunset as the light levels were dropping very fast and as soon as the sun disappeared the temperature plummeted
Here is Michaels picture.
Of course posting Michaels picture dosent get me off the hook so here is a picture I took yesterday , it shows Croagh Patrick taken from the Louisburgh Direction, once again it was the sky that attracted me.
