Heather Photography Tour - Dublin/Wicklow
Did you know that for around 2 to 3 weeks every year, the greenish-brown moorland of the Dublin/Wicklow hills is completely transformed into a vivid pink and purple carpet of flowering heather?
The blooming heather is a unique photography opportunity to capture the Dublin/Wicklow landscape at its most attractive and colourful best. We can’t wait to guide you to the classic locations to experience and photograph this visual spectacle of flowering heather amongst the granite outcrops of Dublin and Wicklow.
Our local knowledge will bring you to best heather locations in the Dublin or Wicklow hills so you can come away with some memorable compositions. Along the way, we will also give you lots of tips and techniques to help you improve your photography skills. On top of it all, we have designed our photography tour and workshop to take in either the sunrise or sunset when the quality of light is at its best. Mixed in with the dazzling bloom or pink and purple heather, you’ll surely be in for a winner!
Logistics
This unique, one-day outdoor photography tour is limited to 6 places only. The workshop will be for a total of around 6 hours in duration, from pre dawn or to post sunset (for typical times scroll down to the bottom of this page). A headtorch, for example a LED Lenser MH10 (600 lumens) is required for this workshop.

- Nothing advanced, anyone with a basic understanding of shooting with aperture, shutter speed and ISO. If you don't, do not worry as we will show you, including all the best practices along the way!
- Anyone who wants to improve their planning and composition skills, mastering the light, shooting angles and experimenting with different focal lengths and filters. You will learn to shoot what Adrian Hendroff sees.
