Background

Ireland’s west coast is very rugged and you usually get four seasons in a day. It, therefore, is an excellent location for coastal landscape photography. Johan captured this Irish coastal landscape in B&W close to sunset. As you can see, the weather was quite moody.

Soft light illuminated the cliffs and the seagull sitting on top of it sideways. A longer exposure time smoothened the ocean water. As a result, the cliffs stand out better. The black & white treatment and square crop complements the mood.

The title “To the point” seemed to be a suitable title for this coastal landscape photograph. The cliffs in this Irish coastal landscape in B&W rise from the North Atlantic Ocean near Slea Head. Slea Head is a headland on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry.

Make sure to also have a look at the photograph title Staring at the Sun, which is in colour and uses a different composition.

    Turning something rugged into something zen 👍🏻 Will you be heading back there soon Johan?

    • Johan Peijnenburg –

      Thanks Samuel! Yes. I still hope it’ll be this year. Depends on how other plans develop. Otherwise definitely in the first half of next year. Ireland is an addiction 🙂

  2. Mike –

    Those Irish cliffs look quite dangerous! Love what you did with this Johan!

    • Johan Peijnenburg –

      I think they actually are Mike 😀 Thanks. Revisited the same location last spring so will publish a different composition soon.

  3. Brendan Behan –

    Love it! Typical for the Irish coast 🙂 The bird on the rock is a nice touch!
