Images of Mayo
We’re holidaying in beautiful Mulranny, Co. Mayo this year. My wife very kindly bought me a birthday present of a full-day one-on-one workshop with the wonderful Westport-based photographer Eamonn McCarthy (aka Images of Mayo).
Not only is Eamonn an all-round nice guy, he’s also an incredible landscape photographer and a great teacher to boot. There’s no doubt that my photography has taken a step change since my workshop with him.
Here are a few panoramas that I took during the course of the day:
As you can tell from these photos, the scenery was absolutely spectacular. On top of that, the weather was quite challenging, with us having to dash to the car for cover on more than one occasion. Nevertheless, the weather gave rise to the very dramatic skies that you see in these images, so it was well worth it.
While we did some tripod shooting, these pictures were taken handheld, and stitched together with the open-source Hugin application, which seems to have done a pretty good job of it.
