Clogher Beach in early March is not what you’d call hospitable. This little cove on the Dingle Peninsula opens straight onto the Atlantic, and the swell hits the slate head-on; the spray goes up twice as high as the wave itself. I was there with Blarney Photography Club, all of us strung out along the beach in heavy coats, pretending we weren’t freezing.

I kept the shutter short enough to freeze the break but long enough to let the water show some texture and pulled the exposure down a touch to protect the foam. You have to use burst mode in situations like this and going through the images in Lightroom makes a timelapse movie of the waves enveloping the rocks in a very dramatic way.
