This image, called \u201cAncient Forest\u201d is one of my favorites from 2018. It was taken on Doohoma beach on the North West coast of County Mayo, Ireland, a landscape that is constantly battered by the Atlantic Ocean . During the storms of the winter of 2017\/18 huge quantities of sand were swept away from the beach to reveal a snapshot of a long disappeared landscape. Where is now a beautiful beach was once a great forrest , the shifting sands revealed the roots of trees that are 5000 years old!
\nI arrived at the beach about half an hour before sunset, the tide was out and the roots were fully revealed, I took several pictures , but really wanted to have the sea water around the roots and so I chose this composition and waited in the freezing cold. Forty Five minutes after the sun had set the Atlantic Ocean began to lap around the roots and I pressed the shutter!<\/p>\n

The 20 second exposure was made on my FUJIFILM X-T2 coupled with the XF10-24mmF4 R OIS lens. This is a great lens for landscape, specially in a composition like this , The wide angle allows me to spotlight the large tree root, but still allow the viewer to see the vast landscape of Doohoma Head and Achill Island in the background . On this occasion the lens was zoomed to 14.5mm, I rarely go wider then 14mm.\u00a0 As you can see, this image was taken from a very low angle, I am nearly 2 meters tall, so was very thankful for the flip screen on the X-T2 !<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
