I am out to Lusk and on to Portmarnock via Ardgillan Castle, where are you Al?

Fajitas!

Lol, Thomastown to New Ross to Inistioge to Ballygub to Woodstock in Inistioge to Gorey(ish). Then on up to Dublin for a nights rest.

Early start :-/

Borderfox

Inistioge is really nice, great locations along the river and bridge

Also up the hill and on the left, there is an old manor house and grounds.

Don't know if it open to the public though all the time. Lovely place though.

One of the most outrageous for charging is Russborough House. They charge 200 even if you just want the exterior of the house in the background of the shots.

oh nice little earner, maybe i should have bought a stately house instead of camera equipment

@Border - do you use a tripod at all? i tend to always have one at hand for the formal shots and some in the church too.

my fastest glass is a 35mm f1.4 (have to watch the DOF!!) would like the 85mm 1.2 for low light situations

I have the 35mm 1.4 too, but I don't even pack it anymore. The pics just don't appeal to me. For the church I much prefer using a tripod and the other lenses at f2 and zoom in from a reasonable distance.

I never use a tripod, for the church I used the 15mm fisheye - 24-70 - 70-200 f2.8 and 85mm. Quite a narrow Church and the usual dark one too, I was shooting from the grooms side over to the Bride and there was a large window flairing my lenses up so moved over.

Nice Wedding though and got some really nice shots, I will post up some maybe tomorrow if I get time. Freelance in the morning for Irelands Equestrian up near Kells

Fajitas!

Good stuff Keith, just back to the Apt. myself. Feicing long day, considering I'd to be up at half 6 in Waterford, and now I'm back in Dublin!

Church was a bit mad. Smallest one I've shot in - The aisle was literally 3 steps long.

The couple were lovely though, and good craic. Julie got some fantastic shots of the bride getting ready.

Borderfox

I got a load of shots of the Bride in natural light behind a net curtain, some formal shots down in Ardgillan Castle and on to the Beach in Pormarnock. 11am start and 10pm finish
