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 Killiney Hill, Co. Dublin, Ireland in September 2017.

It was Sunday, at 8am a beautiful sunny day at 10.30am, heavy rain! Had it in my head that I would go to Killiney Hill to take photos. I've never been there but through my research I had no doubt that it would be a super spot for photos. Honestly, nearly gave up on that idea but looking at the sky noted that the clouds were moving south and, behind them, a blue sky started to appear. Killiney Hill is located south of Dublin, 153m high and at the North side you have Co. Dublin and Dublin Bay and at South side Co. Wicklow and you can see as far as Bray Head (shot no.20).

In this post I didn't manage to go too far. As soon as I got out of the car, I started to take photos straight away, still in the car park. I was impressed with the view of Dún Laoghaire, Dublin city, Dublin Bay, Howth and the Irish Sea. In these shots that's all you can see.

Killiney Hill is very rocky so it's a perfect spot for mountain climbing, of course I spent at least 1h taking photos of people climbing the hill.

I spent at least 3h there, only walked around 300m, only saw the Northern side, still have too much to see and that's why this is called the part I of shot no.23. I need to have another visit to the park when, I don't know, but hopefully soon! Hope you enjoy this first part!
