Wed 14th March - Boardwalk and Temple Bar

SinisterDexter

I am thinking of:
Time: 7pm
Date: Wednesday 14th March
Start: O’Connell Statue on O’Connell St (see image)
Direction: Going down the ‘Boardwalk’ from O’Connell St, past the Ha’penny bridge and down to Millennium Bridge. Cross over to Temple Bar and start heading back towards Westmorland St (the main road leading to O‘Connell Bridge) while doing some street photography - and watching John work his magic!

Who is welcome?
Everybody! Even if you have a Point & Shoot or a film camera, are an amateur or Pro. Everybody is welcome.
You will need a tripod, if you don't have one then say so here and someone may have a spare for you.

Register your interest here and I will DM you my mobile num nearer the date.
Mention what camera you have and somebody might bring a spare lens for you to try.

Leftyflip

I'm in!
I might bring a stab proof vest though :P

Olympus E-450.

Phil Taz

Date is cleared, permission slip is signed all is good, cant wait!

2 emails thanking for their photos taken on last photowalk at Christchurch.

Hey, it's Ludivine, the french girl who took a picture 1 week ago, it's to say thanks for the photo, it's nice and it's a great souvenir to our travel to Dublin !
It's me who answer you because my mother is bad in english so I do that !
So.. Bye, see you soon !


Hi John,
Thank you so much for the photo I really appreciate it.
Regards,
Cindy Richards

Any watering hole planned for this Will *cough Porterhouse Cough cough*

SinisterDexter

Just to clarify. I was being nice to you John, I am always amazed how you get the women to stop.

As for a watering hole. I never state one, it's up to others to suggest where we should end up - heading the wrong direction for The Porterhouse Temple Bar.... but the right direction for Porterhouse Central - just so your not confusing your directions like! :P

andy_g

Me confused never if the porterhouse central has fruli im happy

Everybody is welcome to join us.

We might even see some proper photographers walking around town at that time! :P

zeptar

Good stuff, if we keep our eyes peeled and stay really quiet maybe we might spot one or two! Looking forward to it.

SinisterDexter

I forgot to charge my camera.. I'll do it for an hour when I get home, should be enough for the walk

I'll be there

Tallon

Thank you all so much for a most enjoyable night

Had to leave early (Lateish) as I was driving and have work tomorrow.

Just messing with the pics now, here's one I took on instagram

The guy who owns the pub was amazed that we all met up, so gave us 10 free Irish Coffees

Great night and great company, thanks Will for organising as usual. Sorry Tallon I gave your tripod to Emma and my own to Philine.
The hot whiskeys were super just as the night was cooling down.

Tallon

Okay, full set here. I hope you enjoy some of them, as much as I enjoyed taking them

Good to be back taking photos

Had a really enjoyable night. Was great to meet everyone. Big thanks to Will for organising the night and making sure I was getting the right bus home! The hot whiskeys were a welcome addition, I assume they'll become a regular feature?! Hopefully that was the first of many photowalks for me!

holy moly people already have shots up from tonight? i'm going to try get a few up before bed but i have an early start tomorrow and a long day so i'll not get the best ones up until tomorrow evening. it was great meeting everyone tonight and it was such a great experience finally doing some night photography, for years i have wanted to shoot the city at night but never had the courage or the right situation - thanks again and i'll definitely be at the next one. thanks a million john for helping me with the camera settings, its so good to get out of Auto and i really wasn't up to date on low light settings = )

oh and those shots that have been posted are brilliant!













The tattooed man ..or "Trevor", that's right one of my friends used to date him. I mentioned him on facebook tonight and it turned out that he wasn't just some random scary guy with tats, I know way too many people! lol. the mystery is solved = )

andy_g

Thanks Will for tonight hope to see you all at the next one some great looking pics already will have some up tomorrow as food is calling

Had an excellent night with you all last night! I might have even gotten some good pictures. Was a pleasure meeting some new people and Tal, I'll have better jokes next time! Also John, thank you for saving me from that crazy religious guy. I just couldn't get away from him (anyone who saw my face will tell you)!
Will get some pictures up later on!

See you all at the next one!
Ger (the punk) :pac:

@zeptar - the top one with the word Electric on the wall came out really good, the light trails themselves almost look like a kind of electricity, its a real eye catcher.

thanks again John, i was surprised how rich the colours in town could actually be. @phil that middle shot is fantastic, now i see why everyone took that spot on the statue. here are a few more i got through, i have a thing about black & white photography = )









I'm working on putting them all in the same folder on flickr.

zeptar

@Phil Taz Some great pictures there. Really impressive!

@Iowa bob it was nice meeting another newbie and having a chat! Still waiting on some pix! Same goes to @kiwi36!

@lisatiffany Like your b&w pictures, they have a nice atmosphere.
