This is an initiative that I'm setting up for photographers who might want to do stuff but might have reservations about doing it on their own. Examples that spring to mind would be things like night shots or isolated ruins. I'm not fully sure of how it will work but the loose idea is as follows: Here is a google map with…

Would anyone be up for a night wander in Dublin this Saturday/Sunday? Just walk around the main areas (O Connell St./Grafton St etc) to get some urban long exposures?

Similarly Im looking for anyone who's up for daytrips on either Mondays, Fridays or Sundays! Im finished college for the summer and wanna get some good shots in!

I would. On both counts.

For the weekend Saturday night would be the preference.

Sounds like this is shaping up well!

The ships sounds like a great idea too!

What about Sunday at 9:30pm, meeting at O'Connell Monument? The light would be at it's best then (weather permitting!), we could walk up the quays together, and then go back to O'Connell St. after for some shots there?

Add to the list if you're interested! :

Dammit.

I've just, uh, remembered I'm washing my hair that night. All night. I'm, erm, doing each strand individually.

On a more serious note, have you ever murdered anyone with an axe? other than camera gear, any other way for recognising people?

I'm going to pull out I think - we've got a few maybes, and I don't fancy hanging around O'Connell St on my own in the evening.

I'm going to head into the Maritime Festival myself in the next hour or so (ship tours finish at 7). Will check back on here before I leave the house, so if anyone wants to meet up down there, let me know and I'll be in touch.

Hiya Tallon - I was going to take a spin over to the Weston Aerodrome, but got held up trying to get a decent (hand held) shot of the moon Then got a call from Buzz and decided to head up to the canal in Enfield!!! Unfortunitly, the light was fading fast by the time I got there, but it's a nice location (banked for future use), and Buzz Lightyear, aka PH, is a great guy - talked shop until I could no longer see him

When I got back to Maynooth, I spent the next hour "shootin' da moon!"
(Have to get this out of my system - another year or two should do it!)

Once you've scouted out your new area, give me a shout!

Some year it might get to be the right shade of white .

Enjoyable night MrMac. We didn't get much shooting done, but had a great natter. Yep it did get dark, but thats generally what happens when you end up meeting at sunset . However some morning I might just get up to that spot for sunrise, then again being a night owl I might just stay up for it :eek:

Photobuddy worked out well. MrMac's a nice guy - we'll do it again some time.

Gotta agree, great idea...sometimes it can be a pain in teh arse trying to get a good night shot and even to have a second person there with another opinion is always good

Well I thought this thread was a good idea but after last night I think its a GREAT idea!!

Was on my own about to take a few snaps yesterday evening in pheonix park, by the big monument. Bright as could be, with loads of people around when 3 scumbags tried to take the camera off me. Some screwdrivers, bottles, projectiles and sprinting later I managed to get away.

And the worst part is I'll still be paying taxes to keep those f**kers off their heads!

What a waste of space.

Rant over.

Noted - I live on the side of the park & was toying with the idea of some long exposures. I'll think about taking a back up crew & have to pin myself on the map.

If you want to see some ghastly sights, I'll be drinking in Morrisons Hotel (I think), further down along the quay. Some music-award-ceremony-after-party. My friends are playing. I think they're wearing liquid leggings again. They're male.

Well I live over near Glendalough so its only a short trip over the gap for me was born in Kildare but not that familiar with the area so you'd have to lead me around!

Sure see if anyone else shows interest and we can go from there I guess.
