Liffey at night

greys

Quite old photos really, taken almost two years ago. Haven't done much of night photography since then, so I'm just wondering if anyone wants to comment of these three, and maybe share the best places around Dublin to make night shots?

Thanks!

Very nice - especially the third one.
I've often thought the view from the east link (towards the custom house) would make a good night shot. I might head out there next time we have a cloud free night.

Nice selection of photo's. I've traveled the quays on a few occasions myself looking for a nice shot.Your three are fine examples. I've taken what looks like a copy of your second one, http://img488.imageshack.us/img488/4895/q9xx.jpg
Great minds think alike.

Nice shots. I prefer night shots to have some detail in the sky though.

With new developments around IFSC I see new opportunities for great photos some time real soon.

Me too. It's a completely different level though - you've got to control your camera and know much better what you're doing to make a successful photo.

This is one of my relatively recent attempts:

The whole mood of the photo reminds me the "Caslte of Wolfenstein" game back in the old days And also, the sky looks very unnatural, almost Photoshop. But it's not. It's a completely intact photo.

That photo in your last post is fabulous; far more interesting than the Lifffey shots. They're quite accomplished, but I didn't really find them that engaging.

The abbey/church shot though - great stuff. It's really evocative and atmospheric. The bitty nature of the clouds contrasts well with the strength of the church and the lighting of the trees is beautiful. Happy days.
