Dublin Docklands Photowalk Thurs 21st August!

Tiriel

Hi all,

I for one still want to get out and get some shots down by the docklands and the quays.

Please vote for the date that would suit you - we'd aim to meet at 8pm. Can confirm details once we know the date.

Do you have a tripod? I think you would likely need one with the nice lights dow there at night time, though the meetup is at 7.30pm so not sure if ye will be there until dark...

I'm good for all nights, provided I'm not working down in Kilkenny again I can do the 21st no bothers!

Tiriel

Tues 26th Aug.

Great So it looks like we have a leaning towards the 21st.

The only reason I said 7.30pm is so we could wander about - but I'm happy to change that time - I don't mind at all.

Niteclubdecks - best advice I can give you is to get a tripod - you'll need one to do the long exposures/night shots. It will mean you can do trails of light from the traffic but also get nice shots of the buildings that are lit up.

Also, it's good to google the area and look at images that are posted - to give you an idea of shots that have been taken - not saying you should replicate them - but it will give you ideas. If there are any you would like to try to do - whatever the effect, maybe post a link here and we could take a look, maybe someone could advise you?

Ah ok perfect, then you can focus on the shots Finding the right angles, interesting spots etc. You probably won't need a tripod if you don't have the shutter speed controls in the powershot, but no matter - you will still get some lovely shots I'm sure.

Normally meet up around the place we're going, usually a few people exchange numbers if needed!

Will be nice to meet up with members and take photos

Tiriel

Tues 26th Aug.

Confirmed - Thursday 21st it is!

Meeting outside Jury's on the quays - this means that if the weather is poor, we can pop in and have a coffee whilst hoping it clears. It's also right where we want to be for shots, close to the bridge etc.

Time wise, what do you guys think? Say 8pm - not too early?

Sounds great. Hope it's not raining

Anyone know a place I can get a monopod in town?

Leftyflip

Tues 26th Aug.

Any of the camera shops will have them, Conns, Berminghams, Halls, Camera Centre, will all have them. Think Argos have them too!

Not only that, i havent used my camera in far to long! I moght have a skype interview though in the evening

Forecast looks good for tomorrow night and if it's anything like tonight then the light looked pretty good. Sunset is approx 20:45 so I think if we meet at 8pm then we'll be fine. Or.. go earlier and I'll see you at 8pm! (Can't get out of work any earlier but I don't want to stop others meeting if you wish).

Meeting point: In front of Jury's Hotel on the Quays (North Quay)
Time: 8pm

From here, I think we will wander about the general area on the northside and then cross over to the Beckett Bridge. We might nominate a meeting point afterwards for a cup of coffee/something stronger - will be decided as we walk.

Looking forward to it!

Looking forward to this.

Grrrr... want to go to this but looks like I can't!

I'm househunting and I've a viewing at 7.20pm which I will go to straight from work, I would possibly have been able to make it for 8pm after the viewing but I don't have my camera equipment at work with me and I wouldn't be able to go home and get it after the viewing because that would take too long...

not happy!

Enjoy everyone!

Take a group picture and post it up!!

Tiriel

Tues 26th Aug.

So who can we expect to see tonight? I just want to make sure that there are still some people coming along besides just myself and niteclubbecks!
