My road trip across Ireland kicked off with a bang in the company of friends when three photographers and one cowboy decide to drive across the Irish coast from the most southern tip to the most northerly point of the country.

We managed our trip with my less than amazing directions, a lot of owing and awing down picturesque country lanes, cliff faces, and small fishing towns. True to form, Ireland provided us with not a single sunset or sunrise, in fact it rained every single day but I’d still do it all again because there is nothing greater than traveling with friends and good snacks.

I was armed with the SIGMA 70-200mm F2.8 DG OS HSM | Sports lens and the SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG OS HSM | Art lenses along with a SIGMA MOUNT CONVERTER MC-11 on this trip. For me, these lenses are the perfect combination for any travel photographer, they give you the wide and the telephoto zoom lengths with an aperture value high enough to still get dynamic shots that utilize the little light we had on the trip.
