Doolough after the rain

This picture was taken last Saturday while teaching on a one to one photography day with Ann Marie. It is the Doolough Valley which looks good in most weather conditions. But just before this image was made Ann Marie and I spent ten minutes sheltering in the car from the rain waiting for the valley to become visible ! And it was only five minutes later that the light disappeared off the floor of the valley. Landscape photographers spend a lot of time just waiting followed by short periods of frantic "work" to capture the scene in its best light.
