Photographs of Galway

Hi, I've been living in Galway for a good few years now and have taken photos a fair few photos of the city. I'd just like to post a few here @Mod- I know this could go in photography forum but I think it fits here as it's related to Galway and might give visitors a feel of the place.

Why's there a need for two threads on this?

Threads merged, it could be cool with a exhibition thread I guess. As long as the motifs are local I don't mind.

Cheers for the comments. Some of them I really like, a few of them aren't great photos but show a part of Galway (the market, football photos etc).

Galway is a small city so there's only a certain amount of things to photo. I suppose that's when you turn to taking photos of the characters, people of Galway. I didn't inlcude any of them as I persume I shouldn't without their permission.

Happy hols!

I love the abbey one and the graveyard one, very atmospheric.

Can anyone upload photos or is it just Patrick?

The birds and the Claddagh photos are stunning.

Doing nightshift in work had its advantages.

The shots of the river have a nice effect, presumably due to a longish exposure.

@vulcan57 they're fantastic shots, well done . Surely the river ones though have gone through Photoshop filters and not just long exposures. Have they?

Thanks for the comment bobbytails. The river pictures got the same treatment as the rest of them. There was a bit of tidying up, straightening, noise reduction, small bit of enhancing and sharpening but no filters. The water was as it came out of the camera, that is, it has no extra blurring or anything just a 30 sec exposure.

Beautiful shots.

Love the river and the colours on Quay St are so vibrant.

What really strikes me is the lack of people around! It's like a ghost town! Was it late at night you took them, Vulcan?

Looks like long exposure, this way moving objects blur away and stationary object appear crisper*
