Walking along the beach and looking at rocks at Clogher Strand on Ireland's Dingle Peninsula in the drizzle and mist may seem like an odd thing to be doing when on holiday. My grandson, who was much more interested in digging holes in the sand, certainly though so anyway!
I must have spent at least half an hour (a long time for me) walking around this shale rock face on the beach at Clogher Strand on Ireland's Dingle Peninsula, just looking at the fossils and the various shapes and colours on display.
This particular arrangement of fractured shale face attracted my attention due to preponderance of triangles, and I spent a while making minute adjustments to the camera position to get everything arranged how I wanted it.
That's one of the benefits of working with a tripod. The slower pace of working with a tripod allows a much more careful consideration of the placement of elements in the viewfinder than when working hand held.
At least, I find it to be so. How about you?
