16c. The Sheep's Head Peninsula (2), Co West Cork - Sunset studies (a) A series of different exposures of through the evening from the Sheeps Head Peninsula, looking north, with the sunset over Bantry Bay and Hungry Hill (on the right below) on the Beara Peninsula. The sunsets in the West of Ireland are fantastic, especially if the sun sets over a combination of the sea, islands or, as in this case, the next peninsula. The West Coast of Ireland is a fantastic place to play around with different camera settings - a photographic paradise, even if I'm that that good myself - hopefully the pictures do the talking!
