Dublin Night-time Walk - 25th Jan

SinisterDexter

I was thinking of arranging a night-time walk on Monday 25th Jan.

Looking for your thoughts, suggestions. I am limited that week to Monday and *possibly* Thursday.

I was thinking of two plans:
1) start at St. Stephens Green - down Grafton - turn towards Powerscourt SC - can't remember the next road - central bank - Temple Bar - Ha'penny Br - O'connell br - trinity - grafton st.
2) Samuel Beckett Br - docklands - trinity - central bank - temple bar - Ha'penny Br - Henry St - O'connell St.


Meet up time - I'm available anytime. As always you can join in half way and leave when you want.

Thinking about it, won't know til later in the week. Would like to try 10mm night shots this time.

LeoB

Yeah I would be interested, depending on work. Monday would be best for me as I am training 2 kids teams on Tues and Wed. Could get in to Dublin for around 7pm. Have never shot pictures in Dublin at night and that new bridge looks fantastic.

Will post again when I have details of my work

Yeah, I'd be up for it, I reckon... O like the idea of route 2 more, the other one is quite similar to the one before christmas... down to the docklands would be great! O, and Monday would be best for me, but Thursday would be ok too, I think.

Yeah, Living and working outside the city I have really only seen pics of docklands so it would be great to actually go down and take some photo's

SinisterDexter

Docklands it is then.

eightcell

I'll join ye, should be a laugh!

SinisterDexter

Maybe I'll be able to workout what your name means this time. Cubed Cube?

baby and crumble

Woo hoo! Maybe this time I'll get more than one shot and not break anyones tripod... I can but dream...

I'm not able to make this one I'm afraid. It's my wife's birthday and we had already made plans.

pixbyjohn

:DNow theres an opportunity not to be missed. Indoor night candlelit party, how many of you can converge on Dan's house:D:D

Nearer the date let me know the actual meeting place, maybe the Samuel Beckett bridge ?

DK32

LOL!

Is this open to anyone?
I am a photographer in galway but like the idea of this with some company.
If its a camera club then thats ok - no worries.

Yes this is open to anyone. You would be most welcome. These photowalks are loosely arranged and there is no hard and fast plan. Usually when everyone who is attending meet then a route is decided on.
Hope to see you there,
John
ps previous walks I was on

SinisterDexter

All are welcome..... you will look weird if you come without a camera though.

Slight change in plan....

Start at The Point - down past Samuel Beckett Br - Famine Statues - Custom house - O'Connell Br - Ha'penny Br - back down the other side to The Point.

Gives both sides of all the bridges & Liffey.


Anybody got a preferred start-up time?

pixbyjohn

Anytime suits me, how about between 6.30 & 6.45pm meet up, or it that too early?

LeoB

About 7 would give me some breathing space. What is parking like in that area?

swingking

I might be around on Monday night. I'll know by tomorrow. Wouldn't mind going on another photo-walk

pixbyjohn

Parking on street should be ok if there is no show in the o2. Also parking in the Jury's hotel car park up from the o2. Otherwise the Royal College of Surgeon's car park have a €5 rate for after 5pm til 09.00am next morn. if you prepay within 15 mins of parking.

ps. WE Will ROCK YOU is on that night in o2 so parking will be scarce

baby and crumble

Anytime is good for me, I'm based in town so I'm ready to rock whenever!

Looking forward to it now.

Hey, I've never been on one of these walks but would love to crash if that's ok? I'm pretty new to this photography lark and would love the opportunity to improve my unbelievable natural ability :P

Just a heads up for anyone going down there, the luas line (red I think) now goes all the way to the O2. Hope that helps as you could easily get parking further up it.

Great, thanks for info. Bring your tripod too.

Sounds interesting.

SinisterDexter

Ok.... hands up who hasn't got my phone number?

We will be meeting across the road from the Point - You're standing at the fence belonging to The Point - Look towards the Liffey - Cross the road - and there I am. I will be there from 6:45 aim to start walking 7:15.

We will be walking down one side and back up the other so feel free to join us whenever you want.

As PixByJohn - a seasoned nightwalker:P - mentions, Bring a Tripod!


Woo Hooo! My 100th post... now I am a 2 star general/player/poster.
Please note the 2 stars may have been there before.
What do they mean?

xia

Almost forgot about this. Haven't been around here for a week! But just decided I'll be there on Monday as well - with my own tripod:).

Edit: Oh and congrats to the 100 Sinister - but I think the second star is just a little help to see that you not just started here.

monkeyman

Going to try an make this if I can. SHould be there. Will see you at starting point if so.

Ok, nobody told me that you could get stars and that the more you posted the more stars you could get.

This just became serious. I am now on a mission to collect my stars. Wish me luck

geoffraffe

This proves I'm serious!!!

SinisterDexter

I hear sirens! Woowoo woowoo! Here comes a mod to stop 'that sort of thing!'

xia

You'll get into trouble if you start spamming for the sake of a star....

They mean you're now being watched more closely by the mods (and the admins) ........

He's a serious player, not just a fly by night poster, so we'll have to keep an eye on him. Make sure he doesn't get ideas above his station, like starting threads :eek: or arranging photowalks - heaven forbid..........

SinisterDexter

Next thing you know I will be arranging a day of talks so people can learn stuff from others!

geoffraffe

My childish humour has obviously got me into trouble again. Sorry, don't really care about the stars, but if those stars are ever changed to purple baloons, well, I might have to quit my job and become a full time spammer and to hell with the repercussions!

pixbyjohn

See you all at the o2 at 18.45/19.00hrs.
Anyone need a tripod ? Post now.

one2one

Should be able to make it. Anyone coming from Tallaght with a car? The effort of dragging my Tripod & equip. into the city on the luas! See you all there.

LeoB

I am coming in from North Co Dublin. Probab via Whithall, Drumcondra. If anyone needs a lift pm me before 6.

poochiem

Some of you lurking in the back of my photo ...

Alex,

Follow some of the pictures linked in this thread for the time being, there are plenty of images with exif info so you can make a note of different exposure settings.

Thanks also to Pixbyjohn. A most helpful Gent.
It was really interesting to watch other people taking images. The time they took, the angle and the comments. It was a huge learning curve for me and hopefully I will have many more enjoyable evenings.

Thanks

The light was awful. Clouds even looked dirty

What is in the street lamps? One thing I will say is I worked in Sheriff St a good few years ago and the transformation in that area is just amazing

Some of mine:

A couple of my faves from tonight...







Thanks again for a great night, all! And thanks to Sinisterdexter for getting us all out!
