I was driving back from Valentia with no particular plan when I glanced across and the whole strand was lit up. Strong midday sun. The kind of light that makes Kerry look tropical for about twenty minutes before the clouds roll back in.
This was supposed to be a scouting run. Throw the drone up, get a sense of the angles, come back at sunrise when the light would be more conventionally "right." That was the plan, anyway. But once I could see what was actually there from above, the plan went out the window.
Rossbeigh is extraordinary from the air. The tombolo stretches into Dingle Bay like a long curved arm, and where the estuary meets the open water the sand shapes are constantly shifting. What struck me most was the colour. Ochre and earth tones of exposed sand against vivid green where the dune grass has taken hold, then pale white beach, then deep Atlantic blue with mountains rising behind. A combination that shouldn't work as well as it does. The estuary side was shallow and calm, almost turquoise where the light hit the sandy bottom. The ocean side darker, heavier. And between them, this narrow ribbon of land holding the two apart.
I took more frames than I'd care to admit. Sometimes the photographs you don't plan for are the ones that stay with you!
