Day two on Inis MΓ³r did not go as planned. What was supposed to be a few light showers quickly turned into constant rain, mist and difficult shooting conditions across the island. But if you have followed this channel for a while, you will know one thing I always say β bad conditions do not exist in landscape photography, there is always a shot.
In this episode I head out with Diarmuid and Patrick to revisit a coastal location we had scouted the previous day, testing not just our waterproof gear but also our patience, planning and ability to adapt in the field. From long exposures in heavy rain to working compositions around flat light and difficult weather, this became one of those shoots where persistence mattered more than perfect conditions.
Watch until the end to see the final images and decide for yourself whether the conditions helped or hurt the photographs.
