But I also had to take my daughter to the airport, as she flew back to university in England, and her check-in time was around 3pm. Ok, so with sunset at 4:30pm, that gave me plenty of time to find somewhere nice and wintry and get organised for a nice photo. Sadly, in typical fashion, all did not go quite to plan, and we had to leave the house in a bit of a rush to get to the airport on time. Minus the camera. Sure enough, by 3:30pm, the sky was going all sorts of gorgeous, and I was still rushing back home to grab the camera bag. Back up the road, and on the lookout for anything remotely photogenic, I stumbled upon this little scene as I looked through just about every farm gate I passed. I liked it because it was just on the edge of the blanket of freezing fog which is lying between Larne and Ballynure in the “A8 Hollow”. And this is the resulting photo. It’s of nowhere in particular, with no great interesting landmarks of note, but that beautiful sunset sky contrasting with the frigid winter conditions just makes it! Sometimes, unplanned, impromptu photos can be the best, and I’m really happy with this one! #fujifilm #fuji #fujixt3 #fujifilmxt3 #fujifilm_xt3 #fujifilm_xseries #fujifilmxseries #fujifilmphotography #snowday #snowscene #snowysunset #sunsetsky #wintersunset #countyantrim #freezingfog #goldenhour #january #january2025 #northernireland #northernirelandphotography”
