While I’m not mad on typical sunset photos I though there was an interesting perspective on this shot. The sun picked up and illuminated the haze behind Liscannor village outlining the buildings nicely. Then to add to this it also manages to pick out O’Briens Tower on the Cliffs of Moher which lies directly behind the village from this angle.
I had actually 2 filters on the lens at the time. A UV filter and a circular polariser. This created some lens flare, basically a couple of rings, which i removed in photoshop.
While you might notice that 99% of my pics are b&w I felt that colour gave more dynamics to this photo which were lost in the b&w version.
If I were to change anything in this photo I really would have liked more clarity and resolution, possibly using a 200mm low stop lens and tried for more detail around the village. I might have been able to capture the sun rays shining through the village more clearly.
Next Time!
