April sunset over Swinford
Its time that the weather started to pick up! Here’s a shot I got of an April sunset over Swinford. Photo of the sunset with Neiphen in the background was taken from a usual location I use, the top of the hill in Kilconduff Graveyard. This is also the location I photographed my first Aurora last August. There is a great view from this location!
f/9, ISO-100, 1/320 sec, -1.0 exp, @50mm.
Sunsets may all look the same, but they never are. What sets them apart is the cloud formations. You also have to get the timing right too and spend some time on location. I spent about 45 minutes here and about 30 shots later got this one. Light is constantly changing and you really have to have patience to get the shot your’re looking for. I’m happy enough with this shot though if the weather permits again tomorrow evening, I’ll be out again!

Many thanks for sharing those images, Michael. You would have been standing close to our Brabazon family vault – brought back memories of my father’s funeral and the quiet times I spent meditating and looking over those very hills.
Yes I was surely Michael,only about 20 ft from the vault on the town side. The Graveyard committee really have done wonderful work in that section of the old Graveyard, its a real credit to them one and all! I must spend some time up there and photograph some of the old graves. They have uncovered some really old plots there.
