United Kingdom Gaints Causeway stairway to heaven County Antrim
This shot was taken prior to dawn using the steep section of the rock formation to give the appearance that the rock steps would walk you up to the mountain in the distance as the sun was about to rise
Photography Tips
Find the spot by moving around the rock formation and getting down low to give the impression that the stairs climb into the mountain. I went down the day before to look for some spots with the crowds. It is quite a hard subject to shoot to get a good photo there are plenty of average photos of the site so look around and be there before sunrise with a head torch.
Travel Information
For sunrise you can drive down to the spot but must leave before the buses start about 8.30 am otherwise park up the top and walk down the path / road to the spot about 500 metres.
