No Swimming. No Kidding.

A storm was blowing on to Clogher Beach recently. Waves so high they’d go over your head. You definitely did not want to drive down there or swim.

Storm Brewing Over Dingle

Dingle Marina sat there looking calm and civilised. Boats were tucked in, masts upright, everything in order while the sky overhead threatened rain and hid any chance of a sunset from my vantage point.

Luckily, it didn’t rain. The sky just got darker and darker as the sun slipped further around the Earth. The low cloud was not illuminated by the magnificent sun as it descended so I made do with what I had.

Waiting for the Light

Nothing sorts the casual photographers from the committed ones quite like an early morning alarm on a Kerry beach in March. This lot from Blarney Photography Club were out on Cappagh Strand before first light, tripods planted in the wet sand, hoods up, waiting for whatever the sky decided to offer.

The long exposure in the first shot turned them into ghosts which felt fitting, given how they were all standing perfectly still and barely speaking, the universal code of photographers who haven’t had coffee yet. By the time the clouds broke and the pink started to creep in, they’d fanned out along the rocks, each one finding their own angle on the same stretch of coastline. It’s a funny thing, watching people who spend their time making images become the image themselves.

The Cappagh Sentinel

The sun had risen about 40 minutes before and we were about to leave Cappagh Beach on the Dingle Peninsula when I saw a tree silhouetted against the sun.

The Umbrella Photographer

Sunday’s storm on the Dingle Peninsula was the kind that turns sensible people around at the car park, but photographers are rarely sensible. I was down at Clogher Strand when the rain properly opened up. My friend and I both grabbed umbrellas trying to keep the gear dry while still getting the shot. The blue umbrella was doing most of the heavy lifting, swallowing them whole against that wall of ancient slate. What struck me was the colour contrast: that vivid blue
popping against the muted greys and ochres of the cliff face, with the smooth sand beneath acting like a stage. They never knew they’d wandered straight into my frame, which is probably for the best. Sometimes the best subjects are the ones who don’t know they’re performing.

Clogher Strand was used as a filming location for David Lean’s Ryan’s Daughter (1970). The production spent nearly a year on the Dingle Peninsula waiting for suitably dramatic weather. We had that on Sunday!
