Photographers - get right up the front at Dublin's St Patrick's Parade

Darragh

Heya photographers

Thanks to the lovely people over at St Patrick's Festival have given me 10 wristbands to a special viewing area allowing photographers close access to taking photos of the parade on Wednesday.

Wristbands are for the vetted viewing area located at the GPO on O’Connell Street, entry via Henry street. This is a secure area which entitles the bearer to this area and allow them to have a front row view of the parade.

These are especially for the Boards.ie photography forum and the like - all I'd like for you to do is make use of them

Let me know if you're interested below - first come, first served - though you must have more than 20 posts to apply

Cheers

Darragh

Hi guys,

I had one of these wristbands last year and got some very nice photos as a result.

Recommend.

@Darragh, let me know when you have 10 and I'll move the thread to Expeditions then, okay?

So wishing I was free for this but alas........ *sigh*

Good luck to whomever gets the bands.

Thanks Darragh for bringing it to the forum

I'd be interested in that, Darragh. If I'm in time, I'd love a wristband to access that area. Great opportunity to get some good pics of things other than the back of heads and a distant strip of green flag.

Would love one too.

Thanks,

m_s_nixon

Hi Darragh.

I'd be very interested! I have to do a college assignment that involves covering a parade for the day too, would love to cover the Dublin parade but didn't think i'd be able to get access to it.

If theres a wristband free i'd gladly take one

Thanks very much!

Moving to expeditions - Darragh I think you have your ten here.

Darragh

Thanks folks - will contact everyone on Monday with details. Big thanks to the moderators for facilitating this and to Catherine in St Patrick's Festival for helping organise

A word to the wise for people who get this - you still need to get in early and get your place. Assuming this is the same set-up as the pixie bands last year, it was still pretty packed by the time the parade started and there was a good bit of jostling (and narky parents).

I'll be studying. Have fun!

Dara Robinson

Darragh, I'll take one if there is any left

Something's come up here I'm afraid, I'll not be able to go to the parade, Darragh can you take my name off the list please.

I hope the rest of you have a ball.

eightcell

Any word on this?

Darragh

Folks, back to you as soon as I can be about this. Will confirm list of names, how you collect wristbands and the like when I can

dan759

If i was selected please pass to next in line Thanks for the offer too! Hope it all goes well for the 10!
