Clew Bay, Mayo

This shot was taken from a hill overlooking Clew Bay one winter's afternoon. The light on this occasion promised to produce an unusual shot. The sun had disappeared behind high cloud, leaving a bright reflection on the water and strong shadows on the many small islands in the bay. Knowing my film would accentuate this contract, I composed using a telephoto lens to draw together the boat, trees and distant silhouette of Croagh Patrick.
