Louth Photographs?

Hey all,

Just after been mooching through the forum and seen a few different photographs on here. From people actually purposely photographing places for photography reasons, to photographing certain things for other reasons (Biggins photographing closed shops for example and Geezer1000 photographing different areas around Louth).


How about a Drogheda photography thread?


Photographs of Drogheda at night and day, busy and empty, of the stuff that people travel the world to photograph* like the cable bridge and Scotch hall, to things no one really cares about, like the Ramparts and Narrow West Street.


Photographs taken just for the sake of taking them.

(I was going to start off by posting a picture or two I've taken before about the town, but decided I'd rather see if anyone cares first).


What'dya think?


*May be an enormous exaggeration



EDIT: Obviously all of Louth would be included.. Not sure why i was only saying Drogheda... It's late!

The Davestator

great idea i reckon. Would be a good way of finding out about different places.

*sprints off to find some photos*

I suppose I'll start off so.. Just some photos I already had on my PC for a long time;


Scotch Hall at night (Summer 2009)





Ramparts With Snow (January 2010)





Bridge at the bottom of the Grove Hill at Night with Fog (Summer 2009) (What's the name of that bridge by the way? It's the one just off Narrow West Street... I know it's name, but can't think of it!)

It's the Bridge of Peace.

Nice pics KKV, keep em coming!
*runs off to charge up camera battery and start using the darn thing*

Hope to see some photos of the Parade tomorrow guys! (Don't think I can make it myself )

Nice pictures and a great idea. The forum needs a bit more life. I'll throw a few up when I dig them out.

So Are we starting a new photography section in the Louth Forum or what?

sNarah

I think that's a Yes.

Well... a thread



Took these in Mornington this morning (I think... I'm so useless with names). Not great but I was only there for two minutes.







( :pac: )

I really like that photograph. Great colour.

loads of pictures of the paddy's day parade and out in the pubs here

Jesus Christ. Look at the state of that parade.

What a load of crap. A smashed van and car on the back of a lorry, with an ad for a driving school? A golf buggy with a 'Senior Citizens' advert on the front?


It's like something out of Father Ted.



Also, whilst I'm posting, a picture I posted in the Emergency Services forum, but also kinda relevant here, the Drogheda Fire & Rescue Station:

This is not mine, just came across this randomly earlier.

I always have the camera in the car or bike. Spend me time goin round snappin stuff. Is this thread not basically the same as the one I started (a few pics of louth?).
I never realised how much stuff was about till i got into photography. Drogheda in particular has loads of hidden gems. Get out there and start exploring:D

Yes I'd put it around '98 or '99 maybe 2000, amazing looking back and thinking what is there now. I didn't actually realise all that was built at the same time.

You Should never post a picture like this that you haven't taken yourself.

There could be copyright issues, but in this instance I very much doubt it if its a problem.

Can't see how there would be a copyright issue if it's not being used in a commercial way.

If you think that it's a problem just report that post to the Mod's and have them make a call on it just in case maybe.

Mr Magnolia

It's fine as a few posters have already pointed out

Sorry, I wasn't trying to have a go at you, I was genuinely concerned about possible issues.

Stephenstown House (My own photo )



And not my own photo

calex71

Where is Stephenstown ???

focus_mad

If you go out the Ardee Road from Dundalk and take the right turn for Stephenstown Lakes and Knockbridge, its on your right hand side in some fields.. Former beaut of a house, if I had the money I'd be knocking on the owner's door tomorrow!!

calex71

Shame to see it in such a state alright

Debating on whether this should go here but there's some great photo's of Drogheda/Louth from the 1900's. It would be interesting to recreate some of those shots again and show the before/after 100 years of time.

Anyway I found the old shots interesting so here ya go.
