Donadea lake


Donadea Forest Kildare Ireland. A small forest near where I live in Kildare which I have photographed many times. This is a very recent evening shot that surprised me. I was too lazy to remove an ND filter and took a very long exposure knowing that the leaves and trees would have some movement. I did not expect much but was pleased with the result.

The reason I was in Donadea at the time was to get one or two final images for the project I have detailed below. A press article including this image is here

This podcast is on Touch Radio
