I used to do photography, i feel your pain!
I was in nz years ago and was at the wrc rally. My photos were epic. Someone said they even looked professional!
Its the light. The grey here just hurts.

Great photos. I'd love to have gone but a family holiday got in the way! Friends of mine live in killaloe and i have flown my homebuild foam wing there. I might have passed one of you lads. He was in a silver renault megane i think? Back of it FULL of aviation goodies!
Its an amazing place and i hope to fly there again.

Hi all. New to the forum. I'm near slane co.meath. i found a reasonable place:Dropped pin
https://maps.app.goo.gl/Y4A7ZQ2iunGn9EXHA
Its a few km west of slane. It would only be good for northerly winds though. There is a higher spot just to the south of the road there and it has a fairy fort surrounded by furze. Its private land which is a pity because its southern slope is nice. The lad i run with knows the owner and said "ah you'd be grand!" so there may need to be a follow up.....

The hill of slane is ok too for easterlies and southerlies. Parking is there and public access. I tried sloping my foamie glider when i was starting out and it did ok in the easterly wind! Someone with bigger and better gliders should have no problem.
