TRALEE BAY HOLIDAY PARK BY BENDERLOCH

This is another of the images taken last sunday at Tralee -bay holiday park this time using a very wide lense and back-lit reeds on the lochan in this well kept holiday park.When taking autumn shots in particular,shooting against the sun (back lighting) gives a great effect which allows the light to penetrate through the leaves.

I also managed to capture some autumnal views toward the hotel.
