Travelling in Ireland without coming back with beautiful pictures is like not having drunk a single beer. Unthinkable as the geographical diversity made of landscapes as simple as complex catch the eye and quickly provide the need to draw your camera in order to immortalize the moment lived! An area of greenery where sheep graze, waters crashing against rocks, the sun fighting against the clouds to give an ephemeral and always reinvented light, or even the Irish life passing by, everything or almost everything is a pretext. Amateur or experienced photographer, capturing a unique moment offered by the Green Erin is within everyone’s reach with a few basic rules.

Taking pictures in Ireland

An infinite universe of possibilities accessible to beginners and professionals alike!

It’s not always easy to know where to start when it comes to taking pictures! So here are a few handy tips to make sure you don’t miss anything in your shots, and bring back incredible memories of your trip to Ireland!

  • Taking a few moments to scan what is before our eyes with a curious eye will be very useful. Because taking a picture of the whole is good, but playing with the elements is better and more unique.
  • Choose the priority given to a specific point and consider it from different angles (zoom, perspective, contrast…).
  • With a light that can vary very quickly, the same shot at a few seconds intervals can give a very different character, especially in Ireland. So take your time! For the more romantic, sunrises and sunsets remain special moments.
  • In the digital age and whatever your budget, if the natural aspect of a photograph was not enough to meet your expectations, a new atmosphere can easily be obtained through the different settings of your camera. A game that brings a new escape and that will surely satisfy the unconditional photographer that you will become!

There are so many great places to take photos in Ireland that a small selection will leave room for your imagination and your feelings as you meet both nature and people on the spot.
