Photographing Ireland: Antrim - The Northern Coast

Join me to photograph the landscapes of Co Antrim, Ireland including many of the Games of Thrones TV series locations such as the Dark Hedges and Ballintoy Harbour. This video is part of a series Photographing Ireland in which I explore and photograph our beautiful country.

Really great style of photography vlog, between explaining the composition and displaying the technical detail. I also now realise it was you who photographed the red squirrell winner for eye on nature. Congratulations, its an awesome photo.

Hi Theo, Thanks so much for the comment. I try to mix the landscape and wildlife in whatever spare time I have. Yes - The Red Squirrel - fond memories. I didn't get around to entering an image in the competition this year. Jimmy

Hi Jimmy. I missed this video just seeing it now. This is my local area and been to all these locations. Great photography as usual.

Hi Jim, That stretch coast is out of this world. You're blessed to have it so close - down here in Wicklow the coast is continuous low lying beaches all the way south to Carnsore Point. Jimmy

Great video , going up there this week,I met a member of Greystones camera club on Saturday in Greystones, he told me about your you tube videos and mentioned the one of the Antrim Coast . Some great places to take photos. Hopefully we ll get some good weather!

Hi Maria, I’ve just checked the forecast at Ballycastle - there’s a great mix of sun, rain and cloud which always makes for dramatic images. Hope you have a great time and glad you liked the video. Jimmy

Good to see your videos again Jimmy!!

Hi Paul, Hope to get out more regularly this year. Thanks, Jimmy

When at Elephant Rock you should have went round the corner to get some great snaps of the Cows on the magnificent Whitepark Bay, stunning location, you were 100 yards from it, Kinbane is special, especially the walk out to the head and taking photos facing the cliffs

Thanks Bill, I'll note it for the next trip up north. Thanks for the tip - it's a magical stretch of coastline. Jimmy

Excellent stuff and lovely photos. Brought back memories of a holiday there 10 years ago. You nailed the compositions every time

[@jimmymcdonnell9435]

Hi David, I hadn’t visited the area in a very long time and was surprised at how spectacular the locations were. Glad you enjoyed the video. Jimmy

[@MarkRomine]

Thanks for sharing! Going to be in that very area later this year if all goes well. Your video has provided some ideas on locations to visit.

[@jimmymcdonnell9435]

Hi Mark, I’ve included a link to the pins on google maps for the locations - hope you find them useful, Jimmy Northern ire · Jimmy maps.app.goo.gl/jUEwUmiuZKS75NCB7?g_st=ic

@@jimmymcdonnell9435 wow, thank you Jimmy! I will take a look at those for sure. Much appreciated!

[@johnkennedy4823]

Great video and entertaining script. Hope you had dry socks in the van! Your Dunluce photos are truly epic. When I first visited the Giant’s Causeway I couldn't get over how small it was but it is a must see.

[@jimmymcdonnell9435]

Thanks John, Jimmy

Thank you for the lovely video. Can u let me know where the last tree and bay picture was taken? I found murlough Bay but not the tree. Will be in Ireland in June this year, will be visiting these sites. Thanks.

[@jimmymcdonnell9435]

Hi Alex, You can’t miss the tree. About 100 metres before the end of the road look left. Have a great trip. Jimmy
