Exploring Winter Coastal Photography

It was the last week in November. It had been raining for nearly a week when suddenly the forecast promised a sunny day. I decided to take the opportunity to travel to the coastal village of Rosslare, Co. Wexford, to do some winter coastal photography.

The journey to Rosslare takes around 90 minutes, so after stopping for some lunch, I arrived in the early afternoon. The winter sun was low in the sky giving a soft, rather than harsh, light and despite the bitterly cold wind the beach was dotted with dog walkers, people out for an afternoon stroll, occasional joggers and even another photographer!

Here are some of my images from the day.

Despite the cold, the weather conditions were ideal for photography and I tried to make good use of my brief time at this location by getting a variety of different views and perspectives. I hope they have given you a taste of this coastal location in winter, and perhaps the incentive to go out and capture some winter photographs for yourself.
