WTL Video 2

Footage captured with DJI Mavic Air and GoPro Hero 4 Silver in Killiney Hill, Co. Dublin.

After the first video in Slane, it didn't take long until I wanted to make another one... this video making thing is very addictive! 

This time I ended up going to Killiney Hill and the reason was very simple. I had some footage made last year for when I was shooting the video for Coinaphoto (which you can see here) so, I thought I would just need some drone footage to make the video. I was wrong, very wrong!!! I was blessed with the weather so once I started flying the drone, I wanted  footage from this angle, that angle, the other angle and at some stage the three batteries were completely empty! However, I was craving for more footage so I wasted my GoPro battery hoping that I would get some nice shots.

I was so happy with the final result! This is only my second video but I can see some improvements myself from the first video (WTL Video 1).

This video was made in a place where I had taken photos before. Killiney Hill is such an amazing place, surrounded by the sea and the mountains. Also, you can see Dublin at the north side and Wicklow at the south side.  I had to go there twice, I took so many photos that I split the post in two, Shot no.23-part I and Shot no.23-part II.

Photos taken at Killiney Hill, Co. Dublin, Ireland in September 2017.

So exactly one week later, another Sunday, morning time was terrible for photography but the afternoon and evening were just golden! Drove all the way back to Killiney Hill 100% sure that it would be a day for good shots and I don't think I was wrong. The sky was blue but still with some clouds so didn't make the background so boring.

This time I managed to photograph what I had planned when I went on the first visit.

To reach this monument you need to do a little hike, very easy!

That obelisk was built in 1742 and has been restored several times after that and still knows how to look well in a photo! The pyramid was built in 1852 at the edge of Killiney Hill and it was a great spot for me to put my tripod on the top of and take several pictures of Co. Dublin, Dalkey Island and Co. Wicklow... just had to turn around! Sea and mountains so close, just undescribable!

Killiney Hill Park is a great place to spend time, you can hike, mountain climb, play sports or just chill! It includes Killiney Hill and Dalkey Hill, just a few minutes away from Dún Laoghoire. 

I read somewhere that there is many famous people living in Killiney and Dalkey like U2's Bono and The Edge. Who knows if you will find Bono on a hike around the hills?

Photos taken at Bray Head, Bray, Co. Wicklow, Ireland in August 2017.

Have been back to Dublin for nearly a month, working a lot, not much time to go out for shots. Sad, very sad! Anyway, I want to keep this blog alive and Ireland has beautiful spots to help me with that mission!

August, still summer in most of the Northern hemisphere but I'm not sure about that in Ireland! One of those days I decided it was a day for a "photomission". Drove to Bray and did the De Buitléar Way, a hike through a hill between rocks and trees that leads you to Bray Head's cross. The climb is quite easy seeing as I walked by many families with children up and down the hill, however, I advise to wear comfortable clothes with sneakers. You can try to do it with jeans and heels but it won't be a pleasant experience.

The view over Bray and the Irish Sea is worth every single drop of sweat! It was a cloudy day (not suprising at all), it was extremly hot for Ireland (an impressive 22ºC!!!), the humidity was high and eventually it started to rain, all these conditions made my photomission very complicated! It was a great challenge! Hope you enjoy it!

Fotos tiradas em Bray Head, Bray, Co. Wicklow, Irlanda em Agosto de 2017.
Voltei a Dublin há quase um mês, trabalhando muito por isso não há muito tempo para sair para fotos. Triste, muito triste! Enfim, eu quero manter este blog vivo e a Irlanda tem locais belos para me ajudar com essa missão!
É Agosto, ainda Verão na maioria do hemisfério norte, mas não tenho certeza sobre isso na Irlanda! Um destes dias, eu decidi que era um dia para uma "fotomissão". Fui atá Bray e fiz o Caminho De Buitléar, uma caminhada através de uma colina entre pedras e árvores que conduz à cruz de Bray Head. A escalada é bastante fácil, até se vê muitas famílias com crianças subindo e descendo a colina, no entanto, eu aconselho a usar roupas confortáveis ​​e ténis. Sempre pode tentar fazê-lo com jeans e saltos altos, mas não será uma experiência agradável.
A vista sobre Bray e o Mar da Irlanda faz valer a pena cada gota de suor! Era um dia nublado (não surpreendente), era extremamente quente para a Irlanda (impressionante 22ºC !!!), a humidade era alta e, eventualmente, começou a chover. Todas essas condições tornaram minha fotomissão muito complicada! Foi um grande desafio! Espero que goste!
