The Burren, Clare

The unique landscape of the Burren provides a fantastic location for photographers, but fine light is needed to make the most of the karst geology. As I scouted for a composition above the village of Fanore one September evening, a heavy shower cleared and strong light filtered across the hills. I centred on an exposed stretch of limestone pavement, and used a graduated filter to balance the difference in brightness between land and sky.
