Golden evenings on the Moycullen bogs over the last few days have created the perfect conditions for photography.

 When the sun drops towards the horizon, the warm golden hour light brought the flowering bog cotton to life. 

This beautiful native Irish wetland plant, long celebrated by Irish poets and writers, becomes even more striking when viewed through a macro lens with a low 2.8 aperture that works well in low light conditions. 

The soft textures, delicate white blooms, and rich evening colours really shows off the quiet beauty of our boglands in incredible detail.

The Weeesht scrubs up well in the sun

These shots were captured along the Cleggan cliffs using a full-frame Canon R8 camera as well as  a Kodak WPZ2 underwater camera

In the right weather, the Cleggan coastline is a photographer’s dream.

 The walk along the cliffs is filled with hidden nooks and crannies, dramatic rock formations, and crystal clear Atlantic water that lights up beautifully in the sun. 

With marine life visible along the shoreline and endless textures shaped by the sea, every turn offers a new photo opportunity.

These images showcase just how special the west coast can be on a calm summer weekend.
