Wicklow Mountains at Sunset with Sony a7ii
The weather wasn't looking great when I first headed out, but sometimes you get the best skies just after a storm and luckily the clouds parted for some dramatic shots.
Sony 28-70mm kit lens Review with Sony a7ii
I thought I would share a few shots I took with the sony 28-70mm kit lens and show how well I thought it performed.
Poulaphouca Reservoir Bridge Reflection
https://shutterdiscovery.smugmug.com/Portfolio/i-6L7VVJ2/A I was exploring the poulaphouca reservoir at close to sunset and there was some lovely yellow light catching the pillars of this bridge and there was some mirror like reflection on the still water.
Exploring the Wicklow Hills
https://shutterdiscovery.smugmug.com/Portfolio/i-4kXqN9c/A The Wicklow hills in Ireland have some spectacular places to hike and explore, and you are greeted with views like this. There was a light rain almost all day and then it cleared just in time for a beautiful sunset.
Wicklow Heather
https://shutterdiscovery.smugmug.com/Portfolio/i-KPrBBPT/A This was taken in the Wicklow hills of Ireland, there was a wonderful purple light shooting across the sky which matched the miles and miles of heather across the plateau along the stream to the misty mountains in the distance.

Flowing Glow
Flowing Glow https://shutterdiscovery.smugmug.com/Portfolio/i-T85X8F6/A The light was quite harsh at the time of taking this, but this section of the river was shaded under some trees. The water has a slight glow to it from the light bouncing around in the water, I really liked the different colours that the surrounding scenery produced.
