Trawbreaga Bay, Donegal

I had been trying to photograph this bay on the Inishowen Peninsula for at least a year before taking this shot one winter's afternoon. Even now I had to shelter from a biting wind for over an hour as I waited for the sun to sink into a gap beneath the clouds. As the light began to filter through, I scrambled down the cliff overlooking the beach, where I used a 3-stop graduated filter to hold back the sky.
