Landscape Photography and Photography Tips
Here in County Sligo we are based in one of most beautiful locations in Ireland and it's landscape has inspired artists for centuries. Sligo inspired the great poet WB Yeats who called the county "The Land of Heart's Desire" and we can clearly see why as it attracts artists, photographers, poets, writers and tourists from all over the world who love being in touch with this unique landscape and it's ancient history. If you ever visit Ireland on vacation then you will be hard pressed to find a better location because Sligo has it all
The landscape and quality of the light in this part of Ireland is fascinating because it has a mystical quality which can whisk your imagination off to a place far that is far away from the humdrum of ordinary life and it's worries. Being close to this landscape is awe inspiring because it provides a spiritual nourishment which is great for clearing the mind and keeping one's feet on the ground and our energies in balance with nature
This landscape reveals signs of civilisation dating back around 6000 years and some of it's landmarks are older than the Egyptian pyramids. It has a permanent sense of place and time which reminds one that a human life is but a fleeting moment in comparison to a landscape which has existed for millions of years
Landscape Photography is the main passion from which this site sprang and it was all created from nothing using free tools. Photography can now be anything we want it to be and modern tools and techniques allow Photographers to become digital artists and increase their creative vision. Photography can be used to record snapshots of ordinary life or it can be used for creating works of art which are surreal and capable of speaking to the human psyche on a subconscious level
Although the theme of the site is landscape photography there are illustrated articles and resources that will interest all types of photographers. Photography plays a huge role in making the internet a more visual place and there is an insatiable appetite out there for something which is unique. Computer, internet and marketing skills are a huge bonus for creatives in this digital age and learning how to make intelligent use of them is a natural progression from straight photography. We have to become all rounders
I hope you find something good here. Good luck to us all.
