KINNEGAR IN JULY

A series of photos, all taken on the same evening. The weather forecast suggested there may be some thunder and lightning on the cards so I drove down to Kinnegar and parked up at the pier. I was there for around 2 hours shooting various scenes as the light and cloud changed. A few heavy showers passed over but I was able to sit in my car until they were gone. No thunder or lightning made an appearance but that didn't matter, I still had a nice evening shooting the scenery with my camera.

(July 2022)

This was meant to be a day of thunder and lightning according to the forecast, so I went out storm chasing along the Antrim coast to see if I could capture any strikes. As it turned out I didn't see any lightning at all, however I did see the most awesome rainbows as I stopped off at different areas along my journey Northwards. My favourite of the day was the rainbow by the headland at Garron Point, with a strong wind blowing a heavy rain shower through the spectrum of colours it created a streaky, distorted effect. It looked like a glitch in the matrix. I took that shot from 8 miles away on the Loughareema Road above Cushendun which put me at a high enough elevation to get the view across Red Bay. The wide angle image of a double rainbow shows Cushendun village below with a nicely timed break in the cloud to allow the light through.

I had packed up my camera gear and was heading home when I came across this ethereal scene in Redburn woods. Panic set in as I wanted to make sure I bagged the shot before the light dissappeared, but it was all good, no panic necessary.

Sitting at home I could see the sky outside looking all moody with heavy cloud, sunny spells and rain - a great recipe for some dramatic seascape photography. I didn't want to travel too far and waste alot of time behind the wheel instead of behind the camera so I decided to go to Groomsport which is about 25 minutes away from home. When I pulled into the carpark at Groomsport harbour i was greeted with a rainbow infront of me and some of that magic light that often accompanies this type of weather. It was a great start to the evening. I turned around to head back to the car and the eastern sky was lit up with amazing crepuscular rays lighting up the harbour. I snapped a few images and as you can see from the black and white photo, someone else was lucky enough to witness it and was taking photos with his phone from the pier. From here I decided to drive down the road a bit to Orlock...

I parked the car and walked along the path and up those leg-torturing steps (yeah you know the ones ๐Ÿ˜) to where I had a better view of the sky around me. At this stage the clouds looked like they were preparing to unleash hell. I took what photos I could get before the rain came hammering down. I was happy with what I'd photographed so far that evening and was eager to get back home and see the images on my PC monitor. It's almost 2 years since that evening in August 2023 so I guess it's time to post them on social media instead of just leaving them to live on a hard drive and never seeing the light of day.

I walk our dog everyday around Redburn woods and as I do so I make notes of the things I see that I want to photograph when the conditions are appropriate. As you walk from the bear pit towards the ravine you can see this bench on the path below. Last night while I rambled around the forest looking for things to photograph I remembered about the bench. I had around 30 minutes of direct sunlight left to find the best composition and get the shot. As the sun got lower the scene got better and the bench was bathed in warm light. The beech tree's on each side formed a natural frame and the descending path created a leading line to the glowing sunlight. Me and the lads have always known this bench as the anchor seat but I can't remember why it's called that. We had quite a few beverages at that bench back in the day, that much I do remember ๐Ÿ˜
