Why is photographing SEASCAPES so ADDICTIVE? Join me in IRELAND to find out.

[@petermcginty3636]

Thank you Louise, great video. Lovely photos. Many thanks.🎉🎉🎉

[@louisewelcomephotography]

@@petermcginty3636 thank you to you too Peter for the feedback. This one was some time in the making but I got there in the end 😉👍

[@benharveyphotography]

There were some definite keepers in this video Louise, I am a sucker for seascapes with a lighthouse or a rock-arch. Great video, thanks for taking us to Ireland!

[@louisewelcomephotography]

Thanks for watching Ben. Twas an adventure I needed to get my head around. And a lovely place indeed. 👍

[@robj1366]

Once again an excellent video, a real pleasure to watch... thankyou 👍

[@louisewelcomephotography]

Once again, Rob, thank you. I hope you have a great Sunday with (for once) some ok weather :-)

[@waltervermeiren6860]

Stunning location and great pictures!

[@louisewelcomephotography]

@@waltervermeiren6860 thank you Walter, appreciated 🙏

[@LeePelling]

So many great locations in one video, really liked the images you managed to capture as well. Think this is the reality of most landscape photographers , we dont get the opportunity to keep revisiting locations until we get the conditions we are after, you just have to make the best of the location as you find it, and you certainly did that . Really liked that !

[@louisewelcomephotography]

@@LeePelling Lee, thank you so very much for your enthusiasm and feedback. Hugely appreciated. 🙏

Love Fanad lighthouse always find a different composition when I go there. There is a really interesting beach beside the tourist shop at low tide there are some really amazing faces in the stones really worth a visit.

[@louisewelcomephotography]

David, thank you. I plan on returning sometime and will keep that in mind. It was my first time exploring the area and I'm a bit hooked. ;-)

[@MrCaliber30]

Another great video. I think you got some nice pictures, especially the one at the waterfall. like your humor.

[@louisewelcomephotography]

@@MrCaliber30 well thank you kindly 👍 it was a lovely surprise that fall.

[@garrysugdenphotography]

Thanks for the inspiration... Road-trip to Ireland now on the wish list. Some fantastic seascape images Louise 👍

[@louisewelcomephotography]

@@garrysugdenphotography thank you so much Garry. It’s a cracking place. Off to single for a few days late October… hopefully 🤞 I hope you get there yourself.

[@garrysugdenphotography]

@@louisewelcomephotography I'm sure I'll get eventually. I've an ever expanding list of places I really need to visit. Ireland is definitely moving up that list 🙂

[@louisewelcomephotography]

@@garrysugdenphotography it was a surprise in many ways. I shall keep an eye out for you ticking off that bucket list 👍

[@sotonrob]

Lovely coastline Louise. Great Video👍

[@louisewelcomephotography]

@@sotonrob ohhh Rob, it was so unexpectedly rugged. Smashing stuff. I hope you are well x

[@sotonrob]

Yes thanks louise just got out with the Camera again which seams ages

[@louisewelcomephotography]

@@sotonrob ohhh lovely… I’m taking my beloved to Costa Rica after his big accident in December and am currently waiting the connection from Canada. I really look forward to seeing your new work Rob 👍

[@sotonrob]

Hope he gets well soon Louise

[@louisewelcomephotography]

@@sotonrob ohhh he is fine now Rob, this is our… bucket list, we survived time. Thank you though Rob

[@lisajoseph5817]

Some great places to photograph, lucky you. Lucky me. I am in Northern California, moving soon to a small town in a coastal redwood forest that puts me 25 minutes from the Pacific coast. Can't wait to explore once I'm settled in. You'd love our coastline.

[@louisewelcomephotography]

@@lisajoseph5817 thanks Lisa… ohhhh I’m somewhat envious and wish you every success with your move. Enjoy discovering 👍

[@alandargie9358]

Lovely, and like you I was a bit surprised by the scenery inland a bit. Very nice. As usual I love your commentary on setting up the photos.

[@louisewelcomephotography]

@@alandargie9358 thanks Alan. I don’t know why but I was expecting rolling green hills but I’m glad it wasn’t… far more interesting… probably the same amount of sheep though 😉🐑

[@robertlee8980]

Louise, just absolutely love your work. Ran into you sight a wee bit ago, glad I did. Love the way you narrate with humor! It would be nice if you also included the meta data with your photos. Visited Ireland two years ago and fell in love with the Emerald Island. Cheers!

[@louisewelcomephotography]

@@robertlee8980 thanks Robert. I will start to do it… I used to but stopped after a while. Give me a few videos and I’ll start 👍. Thanks for the feedback, helpful 👌

Fabulous captures Louise! I could feel your excitement and it translates to your images.

Thanks for the great video Louise! Beautiful seascape images! Truly appreciate the reminders to find all the possible angles!

[@louisewelcomephotography]

But it's so easy to forget when you are there and you find that one that you first love. Thank you for the feedback, really appreciated.

[@louisewelcomephotography]

@@peteryarrow6835 thank you Peter 👍, appreciated 🙏

[@scrptwic]

Louise Gorgeous pictures what a great lighthouse and pictures . Reminds me of Northern California rock formations off the coast similar to these. Crescent City has a lighthouse on a rock formation overlooking the city. I spent a week touring the Northern California Coast with a hiking group. We hiked the Redwood forest each day in the morning and spent the afternoon at the coast . The trees were so large I used my Rokinon 14mm2.8 astrophotography lens to photograph the trees

[@louisewelcomephotography]

Oh wow... I've only ever seen them that size on the telly box. Maybe one or two in NZ a decade or so ago. The more you tell me about California, the more I think 'one day'. As ever, thank you of your feedback.

[@paulcunninghamw00dlandph0t0]

Love Ireland. That waterfall was, as you said “never ending” Cracking drone footage and photography! Thanks Louise.

[@louisewelcomephotography]

@@paulcunninghamw00dlandph0t0 I’ll tell the drone operator, he’ll be well chuffed Paul, thanks man 👍

[@DanaPushie]

Living vicariously I am Louise and loving every moment of it too. Thank you for sharing the great B-roll and fantastic shots. Love rugged coast line; it's in my blood! Cheers from across the big pond.

[@terrysankey3982]

Lovely place, lovely shots! When we were in the West of Ireland my father in law dragged us to Knock instead of the coast... Absolutley fantastic if you want self service holy water from a tap but not the water I was looking for!

[@louisewelcomephotography]

@@terrysankey3982 oh Terry that made me roar. I’m currently living the rock and roll life playing scrabble with my mother and I’ve just put Knock down… thank you for the inspiration. So sorry for your disappointment though 👍

[@jimhamilton8775]

Excellent video. These locations are all familiar to me, living close to them. A few years ago a photographer lost his life at Fanad Head due to windy conditions.

[@louisewelcomephotography]

@@jimhamilton8775 Jim I read that after I returned and it’s sobering; I took a moment when I found out, the poor gentleman. It’s a lovely location as are the others but you do need your wits about you. Thank you for the feedback. 🙏

Great video Louise

[@louisewelcomephotography]

Thank you Dave, hugely appreciated 🙏

[@susanfirth2279]

Such beautiful landscapes. Great video Louise. Fabulous images of the sea. Thanks for sharing.

Ahhh Susan, thank you. It's certainly a video that brings back good memories now my demons have been exorcised! ;-)

[@Bensphotography633]

Hey Louise just subscribed and these photos are amazing I'll need to go to Ireland to take some photos there one day keep it up love the videos so fare 👍

[@louisewelcomephotography]

Hey Ben, welcome to the channel. And thank you for the feedback. I'm not around for the next video in 2 weeks as I'm taking my long suffering beloved on holiday but I hope to say hi at some point in the future (or a bit delayed in the next one :-) )

[@berndhaverkock6070]

Fanad light house is quite nice, been there in past ant took some Fotos from approx Position 4. Hope while being in Donegal, you went to the Slieve League and Muckross Head. The county has so much to offer.

[@louisewelcomephotography]

@@berndhaverkock6070 we started on the waterfall day but it was so foggy we had to give up. Next time…. 😉. It is a very special place. Glad you enjoyed it too. 👍

[@scotty4418]

enjoyed seeing your take on Donegal especially the lighthouse location Louise as that's one I have on a map pin and would love to capture and process in black and white.

[@louisewelcomephotography]

@@scotty4418 it’s a very interesting place to explore and that arch, being so close makes a convenient pairing. I hope you get there soon sir!

[@brianmckeever5280]

There are some images in there I'd be very happy to come home with! I wonder if there was a vertical image to be had with the long narrow band of stairs at the first lighthouse going from the top of the cliff down to the crashing waves? I've been taking more verticals lately, and very happy with some of the results. Safe travels!

[@louisewelcomephotography]

@@brianmckeever5280 Brian! I didn’t even spot that. Weeeeeellll, now I’ll just have to go back! Thanks for the prod 😉. And the feedback too 👍

[@Room6photography]

Hi Louise. I reckon you've done the area proud. Your shots from there are worthy of anybody wall. Just one question , to get those long exposure shots, which filter are you using? Thanks Mark

[@louisewelcomephotography]

@@Room6photography hi Mark. Nisi CPL and then Lee Little/Big stoppers. They tint blue do will probably consider replacing at some stage. I just don’t want the expense at the moment. Thanks btw 👍

[@Dreyno]

You need to do the Wild Atlantic Way. Rest of Donegal coast is spectacular. Next counties south of Donegal, Sligo and Leitrim, are full of mountains, beaches, lakes, forests, waterfalls etc. Mayo has similarly dramatic cliffs etc. Galway has desolate mountains and vast boglands. Clare has another craggy coastline and cliffs. Limerick……..exists (sorry Limerick). Kerry is like the Isle of Skye, Cornwall and the Lake District rolled into one. West Cork is more spectacular coastline and mountains and the last bit towards Kinsale is like the coast of Brittany.

[@louisewelcomephotography]

Well that’s sorted my next few years 😉. Thank you 🙏. I am going to dingle in October as I have my eyes on a few rugged coastal locations. But I’ll check out a few more of your suggestions for the next few years. Thank you hugely for the feedback. Really helpful. 👍

[@retirewithjames6745]

I will be visiting Ireland in 2025. You’ve given me some location ideas.

[@louisewelcomephotography]

@@retirewithjames6745 hi… how lovely. These are all Donegal. I have a recent vid from Dingle and another out in 3 weeks from Dingle too. V different places in character. I’ve put them in a playlist called photographing Ireland. I’ve only just scratched the surface. A fabulous place and I hope your Christmas was love it 🙏

[@AccessiblePhotography]

I and I think many others would be happy with what you didn’t like. 😊. The “soft” image because of the wind looked absolutely fine on my 55” OLED TV. I think we try too hard to get every shot pin sharp at 100% zoom and we really don’t need to. The images are lovely the locations stunning and the video enjoyable. I think and I emphasise the “I think”, the problem we all have is seeing fabulous dramatic or moody shots from places and then expecting to get the same on one or two visits. The chances are the fabulous images are by photographers that go there on a regular basis. That stay close enough to get great shots in stormy conditions or even in glorious sunshine depending on the location. I think we put too much pressure on ourselves to get the great shots. I went to Glen Affric in 2021 and stayed locally for a week. I visited the view point daily until eventually everything fell into place. One of the few times if not the only time I’ve done something like that and it paid off.

[@louisewelcomephotography]

@@AccessiblePhotography ahhh Alistair, do you know, that soft shot looked better on my big screen than it did in my editing suite. I think a bit of distance from looking at an image can be helpful. The fact that I couldn’t make the video for 3 months was a bit extreme … even for me. Show me that Glen A shot sometime lovely, I’d love to see it. Happy Sunday sir. Thanks for the comment xx
