I'd been to Trá Chathail several times before this, and every visit the sea stack commanded the whole scene. You arrive at the strand and your eye goes straight to it. That's the photograph. Except this time, it wasn't.
Walking the beach with the tide well out, I noticed a dark flat boulder half-buried in wet sand. It had that look of something slowly being swallowed over centuries. The sand around it was slick, reflective. I set up low and close, let the rock take centre stage. An Searrach became the supporting cast, still prominent on the headland but playing a different role.
The afternoon was overcast with patches of blue moving through quickly. Good wind pushing clouds along, which is exactly what you want for a long exposure. I let the shutter stay open, watched the sea go smooth and the clouds streak out above the Dingle mountains.
What I like about this image is how different it feels from my earlier visits. Same beach, completely different picture. The boulder anchors everything, gives the eye somewhere to start before it travels out across that silky water to the stack and the hills beyond. Revisiting a location is where the real work happens. The first visit gives you the obvious photograph. The third, if you're paying attention, gives you something quieter and often more satisfying!
