Summer Breeze

MPBACK — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 19:34:46 GMT

Shot in the very photogenic Donegal, Ireland. The day I visited here the wind was blowing off and on with short gusts of wind. I shot several photos at various shutter speeds both to enhance the blur of the grasses and freeze the motion. Used my EOS R5 and RF 24-105 f4 L lens.

Intended as a compliment: This is the kind of image that IKEA sells a zillion of in large scale prints. Wonderful image with great mass appeal.

Nice shot MPBACK !

I like the vibrant golden yellow hue of the grasses, which appear to glow in the light, creating a vivid contrast against the deep turquoise Atlantic waters of Tullagh bay. The long marram grass blowing in the wind adds a sense of movement and texture to the scene, while the distant land and mountains provide a grounded rugged backdrop. The cumulus cloud formation enhance the landscape by adding depth, drama, and a perfect visual balance.

The Canon RF 24-105mm F4 L IS USM in my opinion is the ultimate one-lens-army for the RF mount system. It balances professional-tier optics with incredible versatility and freedom. t's my go to lens when traveling.

I 💓 My RF24-105mm F4 L IS USM Les !

I like the way you captured the movement in the grasses, the sea and the clouds. When I've been on the Irish West coast, I always take a moment and look across the seascape, and think, next stop America. A lot of history in that location.

And it's always windy, so need a tripod!
