Great County
23rd November 2012
Mayo is such a great county for scenery and of course photography. Sometimes journeys take me much longer then they should, not because of traffic, like in some parts of the country, but because I have to stop so often to take photographs! Todays picture is evidence of this. On Wednesday morning, while racing to get to Mulranny for the sunrise, we passed this scene , seen from the main road. I pass this spot many times and stop many times, yesterday morning I did not have time to stop, but when I looked to my left and saw the colour , I just had to apply the brakes and do a quick U turn.
The picture was taken a half an hour before sunrise and as I did not have time to put up a tripod I had to take the picture at iso800, f5.6 and 1/30second, not ideal for a landscape picture! I am delighted with the picture but in truth I probably should have taken the few minutes to put up the tripod.
