- In my latest video, I delve into the beauty of returning to familiar landscapes, shedding light on why this age-old practice matters more than ever.
As the setting sun cast its golden glow upon the horizon during my latest outing, I witnessed Ballycotton in a new light. But what unexpected treasures did I uncover amidst the familiar scenery? And how did a moment of discovery reshape my perspective on landscape photography?

When you stumble upon spots like these, my friend, it'd be downright silly not to keep coming back. And let me tell you, it's worth it every single time, especially when you're guaranteed to capture such fantastic images such as these. Weather and lighting can shift in the blink of an eye, making each visit unique. That's the beauty of it-no two photos will ever have quite the same vibe. Have a great weekend D 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you very much buddy !
Thank you, Darren!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching
I re-visit locations many times during the year. The changing of the seasons and the time of day, weather conditions etc, etc always make for a different experience each and every time. One of my favourite local country parks near where I live is amazing in winter with the frozen loch. In summertime it is also incredible due to the different flowers and plants, plus the amount of different bird and animal species keeps it fresh and interesting. Brown geese, swans, robins, kingfishers, herons, ducks, red squirrels etc etc. Never a dull moment, for certain! 😀
Now that sounds like an ideal Loch Kevin
Hi Darren, a great video, buddy! I agree: returning to a spot is absolutely a good idea. Not only to get different conditions but also to get a tight connection to the location.
Thank you for the video and nice greetings,
Christian
Absolutely my friend! Always different yet the same at the same time :-)
A beautiful location and lovely shots Darren. I loved the lower perspective making the rocks more dominant in the frame.
Thanks a million Mike, it did change the scene for sure
Some beautiful images 👏 ocean was so calm, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it Ann ! Have a great week
Nice. I liked the first most 👍
Thanks a million
@@DarrenJSpoonley 👍
Darren, the second image, is my choice, enjoyed and learnt a lot from this video. Thank you.
Thanks a million Delighted you enjoyed it Thanks for watching
Lovely images and great tips. Thanks for sharing Darren
Thanks a million Ralph
Weak laughing when the tripod broke lol 😂 beautiful location.
lol! Making you weak is what it’s all about bro 😂
Beautiful photos! I can only echo what you're saying. It's rewarding to get back again and again 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Dennis! Thanks for watching
Fantastic video Darren and beautiful photos I thought the lower photo looking out to the light house was a fantastic composition. Thank you for sharing your video it's a beautiful location for sure
Thanks a million John
The down low image 👌
Thank you very much Nora
That last shot is amazing Darren. But just imagine being in that same location at blue hour or later to get the beacon from the lighthouse and the dark rocks, reflections, and stars?
Thank you very much Mike, it’s east facing so not ideal and would you believe not only is the lighthouse black in colour but it only has the faintest red LED as a light 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Really like the shots at 11:30 & 14:50. I go back to the same place frequently (sometimes out of laziness) but the nice thing is it will never be the same and will always present a new opportunity.
Thank you very much Pal ! Yes this can be the playground and proving ground for sure ! Thanks for watching
Couldn't agree more Darren but DAMN that OSMO is more twitchy than our deputy PM after a coke breakfast.
lol! Ya it seems to have more and more twitching’, I’ve started turning off tracking to reduce that
Definitely the 2nd photo
Thank you very much Stuart
@@DarrenJSpoonley its a pleasure.
I have a beach similar to this one here in north Devon uk
Except the lighthouse lol
I love the 2nd image of the last ones you took from the lower prospective
I emailed you awhile ago about your location guides ( seemed to be difficult to get on your website?
I’ll email you again tonight in case something went wrong
No worries and as always I very much enjoyed the video
Kind regards Simon
Always great to have such a location Simon, I don’t recall getting an email but will check ! Thanks for getting in touch
