Waves Crashing, Lens Fogging, Camera Nearly Destroyed: Heres What Happened  @DarrenJSpoonley
Uploaded July 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
The final shoot of our Inis MΓ³r adventure did not come easy. After being beaten back by heavy rain earlier in the day, we made one last push across the slippery limestone rocks toward the Wormhole, also known as Poll na bPΓ©ist. With huge Atlantic waves crashing around us, changing light, and constant rain hitting the lens, this became one of the toughest but most rewarding shoots of the trip. In this episode I share the full experience alongside Diarmuid and Patrick, including composition choices, camera settings, mistakes I made in the field, and why difficult conditions often create the best memories in landscape photography.
