      When you go to Ireland please please be sure and get some close up shots of your mouth devouring indistinguishable chunks of food. It really adds a, je ne sais quoi, to the family scrapbook. You'll be kicking yourself later if you are showing folks your holiday album and everyone is admiring the food and drink, but you have no pictures to prove that you stuffed it into your cake hole in HD. Really get in there, show some saliva and try to get the uvula in the shot.
      Best way to do that is have a soft light mounted to the camera and get really close with 10-35mm lens(iphones work well) so that everything but the far background is in relative focus, nice bokkeh in the back, tonsils in front and stylish foreground blur on your hand holding the fork or flowers on the table up at the edge of the frame. Don't filter though, this will take away from the lovely pigment of the food, and your mouth. In fact, maybe even play with the contrast and add a bit of color boost, color boost is VERY common and helpful in food photography.-and makes it look like you have inflammation in your gums. Increasing contrast will make your darker backgrounds fade a bit more from the viewers' attention, drawing more focus on well lit areas. Boosting color will make the food look warmer, more fresh, makes the reds and greens really pop. Be sure and use flash and take the picture as soon as possible if you want to catch the steam coming up from the plate.
      Shooting outdoors, Ireland often has a lovely overcast which gives you plenty of beautiful soft light to work with, so don't bother with filters. Now when the sun is shining bright, it is a great time to add a bit of style with a filter but try to make it suit the subject you are framing. eg Big old building, rustic or cool filter, for fields use something warm and try not to hide the less dominant colors of your subject with the color of the filter.
      Bonus points if you have food from a previous meal stuck in your teeth and wince as if in pain while biting in. Good luck and happy shooting.

      Just like the Irish are stereotyped in the USA, so are Americans in all of Europe. The thing is, many of us look very European and if we are not fat and loud then you probably assume we are European because we are quiet or a bit introverted so you never know we are Americans unless you hear us talk. There are the loud ones for sure, but it isn't the majority. Nearly all of us are friendly though, that really isn't a stereotype, it's almost the norm, especially if you are from the South we talk to strangers on a daily basis and yet I would consider myself an introvert.

      You’re kidding, right? There was so much misinformation here that I wondered if they ever visited Ireland at all. To start, a lot of the “intact” historical places have been rebuilt because they were partially destroyed (Bunratty Castle, the Grianan of Aileach, the city gate at Athenry). Irish stew is not made with Guinness. Dublin has a huge St. Patrick’s Day Parade - even though the day was once a religious holiday and the pubs were closed. While you know something about the history of the country, especially the Irish Civil War and the partition of the country, it’s best to stay away from that subject. It’s their country and not our business. Scotland and Wales were both conquered by England before Ireland and actually, the English were invited to Ireland by an Irish chieftain who wanted their help to regain the high kingship. Also, a fairly recent DNA study showed almost no Celtic DNA in Ireland. It’s thought that the native Irish adopted the Gaelic language to facilitate trade.

    I spent Christmas in Kilrush last year with my brother in law's family and as someone who had always fantasized about visiting Ireland, it did not disappoint in the slightest. Beautiful country, amazing people, and great senses of humor. What blew my mind, as an American, was seeing the history just thrown in with the modern. Not taken for granted, but so common it's normal. You'd see house, house, house, house, castle ruins from the 1400s, house, house, house, house, ancient fort, house, etc.
    I'd also highly suggest the small seaside town of Dingle, Ireland. Both it and Kilrush are along the wild Atlantic way, I do believe. Make sure ya drive Conor Pass if you can, one of the most beautiful drives I've ever been on. This video really makes me miss Ireland!

    A word from a local on camping. There "offically" isnt anywhere you can camp without paying but there are a lot of places where its fine but you need to ask someone local to find them. I've even parked in places with big no camping signs and talked to the owner of the field who told me thats just so he can kick out the assholes. Just make sure people know youll clean up after your self and maybe offer the owner a can of beer if he comes around and youll be fine.

    Thank guys for this educational vlog of Ireland..We really do get fed up of the ridiculous and often offensive Irish stereotypes. Just a few pointers.. The language is called 'GAEILGE'.. Not Gaelic.. Gaelic refers to Irish people and their culture.. What you can say is 'The Gaelic language is called 'Gaeilge' which is pronounced 'Gale-geh'..
    "Please" in Gaeilge is 'Le do thoil' which is pronounced 'Leh duh hull'.....Thank you in GAEILGE is ' Go raibh maith agat' which is pronounced 'Guh rev moh agut'.. I hope that helps..btw the surname 'Moran' is commonly mispronounced.It should be pronounced 'MOW-run' with the emphasis placed on the first syllable.
