I've explored many areas in Ireland over the years. However, one spot that I've done very little exploration in is County Mayo. This is a stunning part of the world, and I'm glad I took the opportunity to traverse it while I was recently on another trip with Bernard. Being from Cork, which is in the southern part of Ireland, means that I have to be hitting this area with a specific destination in mind. Given that I was here for a shoot with Bernard, we decided to take a loop trip around the area so I could see it for myself and experience all it has to offer.
Our first stop was a place that is quite popular with many Irish Catholics, who make the pilgrimage up to the top of Croagh Patrick to visit the church that sits on top. Many take this hike barefoot, which I can never see myself doing, but while we were passing, I wanted to take in the view of Clew Bay. A bay that sits at the base of the mountain and is full of small islands that I knew would make for a great shot. I wouldn’t have to make the climb to see them; instead, I would use my drone to get the elevation to be able to see them all in one image. I talked through my approach to getting this shot in the accompanying video and shared the controller's screen so you can also see it step by step. The resulting image was one I had wanted to get for a while, and I was glad when I had it in the bag.
