This is a great idea. I'd really like to take some photos of a derelict building near Cork but I'm reluctant to go on my own. Anyone interested?

Sounds interesting, any more details?

I'll have to learn how to turn on the 'notify' aspect of these forums. Sorry...didn't see your replies till now.

The building is a college in Baile Mhuirne - I stayed there a couple of years ago (a *good* couple of years ago) . I've seen a few photos of it on the web and I've no idea how easy it is to get into. If there were a few of us interested in going it would be great. If the worst comes to the worst we can build a human pyramid or something.

Thinking of maybe next Sunday week - that would be the 20th? Would that suit anybody?

(No midnight noobs....sorry and thanks! )

I hope to travel to Co Clare for 2 or 3 days in early June. During that time I wish to spend a full day taking photographs in The Burren area. I would be obliged if someone can give me suggestions as to routes to follow, places to get the best pics, even accommodation in the area. Thanks in advance.

Not sure about accomodation but the one and only time I stayed in West Clare was in a B&B in Ballyvaughan.

As for photographs - what are you into?

There's a "Green Road" that runs from Ballinalackin Castle to Ballyvaughan, it does take vehicular traffic for some of the route but some of it is by foot too, some great photo opportunites along that route.

Off the top of my head these are worth a visit:

Poulnabrone Dolmen.
Ailwee caves
Caherconnell Fort
Blackhead and the fort on top
Caher River and the Khyber Pass
Doolin
There's a castle out the N67 on the left, down by the coast, the road that B&B is on.
You have miles and miles of coastline, rock formations and beaches.

Edited to add - some of my photo's from around the Burren and a link to "Clare Through the Lens" thread over on the Clare forums

Details put up on map,Co.Clare

I am an experienced amateur photographer living near Croke Park. I've added myself to the map. I would like to take photos nearby (Clontarf, city centre, phoenix park etc) which I can reach on my bike or meeting up with someone with a car and travel further afield. I'm particularly interested in taking landscape shots by moonlight.

You have taken some amazing storm photos alright! I'd be up for going out with ya sometime to take advantage of your expertise.:)

Thanks for the tips.

Ok, I'm up and running for trips in the midwest mainly.

Stuck myself on the map a few pages back,would consider myself a bit of a novice but anxious to learn,bought a Bridge (the camera type that is) a few weeks ago with full manual functionality and won the camera in the Electric Ireland competition and need some guidance,in Clare/limerick area.

Hey people..

For those interested in Some landscape / weather photography , theres a chance of some thundery showers on Wednesday , i dont have a car but willing to help pay for petrol if anyone with one is interested. On the map in North Dublin and dont mind getting a bus to meet with people first.

Could be some nice cloudscapes if all goes well..

heres my post in the weather forum.. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=79980484&postcount=1849

Will update later this evening as the models are still topsy turning on where / how good the potential will be .

Additional hint for anyone trying to add themselves on the map - you need to be logged in to a google account in order to make the edits.
(Took me ages to figure that one out!)

Better late than never! Have added myself, but seems Im the only one in West Cork??!!:(

Im hoping to get out and practice L.E but don't like going out on my own after dark tbh.

Mainly shoot landscape/coastal scenery.:D Weekends good or Mornings when kids are in school!!

I'm late to this too but just added myself to the map. I'm near Stillorgan and always keen to find photo buddies. I need more practice and its nice to have others to take pix with. Let me know if anyone wants to join!

I'm near Stillorgan too and also need a kick to get out there more.. so if ever you want an evening photowalk - shout!

Disclaimer - I am mad busy at the moment, but still worth pinging me if you're thinking of something!

Boo hoo - no one near me!!!!

Oh well, all the more reason to be sooooo excited about my first Boards Photowalk on Launch day of the Photobook!!!!!;):D:D

I'm based in Dublin City.
Looking for a photo buddy.

Anyone close by?
