Journey Through the West of Ireland – Connemara, Belmullet & Achill Island (2015)

Back in 2015, I set out on a photographic journey through the western part of Ireland — to places that, even now, I consider among the most remarkable on the island. The regions of Connemara in County Galway and Belmullet and Achill Island in County Mayo captivated me with their raw beauty, ever-changing light, and the kind of silence you find only where the road ends and the ocean begins.

It was in these landscapes that I

Discover Nisyros Island, Greece – Mandraki, Volcano & Stefanos Crater (Drone 4K)

Discover Nisyros Island, Greece.

Nisyros Island is one of the hidden gems of the Dodecanese in Greece. Unlike its famous neighbors Kos or Rhodes, Nisyros remains quieter, more authentic, and deeply connected to its volcanic origins. This small island in the Aegean Sea combines picturesque villages, breathtaking landscapes, and the dramatic power of a still-active volcano.

In this article, I will take you on a journey across Nisyros – from the charming town of Mandraki to the legendary Stefanos Crater – accompanied by stunning 4K drone views.

Rafal Rozalski Photography – Ireland Travel & Landscape Photography

Hello, I'm Rafal Rozalski, a landscape and timelapse photographer based in Ireland. Ireland has been the main focus of my photography for many years. I photograph its mountains, coastlines, countryside, historic places and cities, with a particular interest in the landscapes of Wicklow and Dublin. My photography is driven by a simple idea: getting to know a place before photographing it. Light, weather, season and time of day can completely change the character of an Irish landscape, and I often return to the same locations to see how they transform. Alongside still photography, I create timelapse films that explore the movement of clouds, changing light, night skies and the passing of time across the Irish landscape. One of my projects, Silent Wicklow, focuses on the landscapes of County Wicklow and was recognised at the Barcelona Planet Film Festival. On this blog I share my photographs, photography stories and experiences from locations across Ireland. I also write about places from a photographer's perspective — where I took a photograph, what conditions I found, why I chose a particular composition and what I would do differently when returning to the same location. If you're interested in Ireland, landscape photography, timelapse or discovering places to photograph around the country, I hope you'll enjoy exploring the blog. Thank you for visiting.
