Thanks Sinister.

Any chance of a refresh post on what's happening here?

So is it ok to have your pic in a proper frame or is it just a board frame?

Where and when do we drop the pics off and hang? Is that all happening on the 15th too?

stcstc

Can people who haven't paid for prints frames etc please do it soon before they are collected

ThOnda

I believe that I have paid. If not, please, kick me in the head.

stcstc

Pick it up from where? I have it, will be there at 5pm-ish on Monday.
People with just frames need to bring a philips-head screwdriver to put on the hooks.
Somebody bringing the string to hang them?

CabanSail

I will be bringing Prints to be framed for myself & Sinead.

Does anyone have some extra strong Fishing line or something similar to hang the photo's?

What's the story with the exhibition, does it officially start Monday 15th, Can anyone pop along that night?

I'm supposed to be calling into Steve tomorrow to pick up a print, if anyone would like me to pick anything up and bring it along, please let me know.
Also, if you would like any help with hanging the prints etc.. earlier in the day I am available all day if you need any help.

Struggling to make it at all this evening. If anyone city centre (ish) is heading out and could take my print I'd much appreciate it.

CabanSail

The Library is open until 8pm.

We have the space for two weeks.

If you arrive late then we will leave some information as to where we will be & a phone number with the Librarians.

PM me if you need my number.

Morrisseeee

Just wondering what kind of 'information' (if any) is being put up with the photos (ie. about each (amateur) photographer) ?

CabanSail

I was about to make a couple of A4 laminated sheets to explain the exhibition & give the URL for the book.

superflyninja

i dont think i can make it tonight.anybody able to help putting up my print plz?

CabanSail

If you can drop them into the Library this afternoon they will give them to us to hang later on.

SinisterDexter

SuperFly's is there already - I brought it.

kjt

yup and thanks a mill.
who is gonna be the official photog of the night?

pullandbang

My camera is in the boot of the car so can bring it in. In fact I will bring it in rather than leave it in the car :eek:

SinisterDexter

Mine as always will be attached to me.... Buzz was the one on the book-launch night - I think!

S/He who has the biggest camera can be the offical 'tog'!

Packs his 600mm equiv lense - one time 4/3rd system is a disadvantage!

CabanSail

I nearly always have my G9 with me.

The preliminary shots were taken with that, so you are all too late.

Hmmm......biggest what?

humberklog

Is this place near the square? What road do I take from the city? I don't know what a tracker mortgage is.

Ok...no panic cpt. Mainwearing think I've got it figured. Head west. Harold's x, terenure, templeogue, tallaght. I thought these place only existed on traffic reports.

Directly behind the square - go between the Civic Theatre and Rua Red Arts Centre and its attached to the County Council Offices. Impressive spot tbh.

The LUAS stops practically at the front door (well kinda).

Paid parking at the square or a number of multi stories around that area.

CabanSail

Free Parking in the Civic Theatre Carpark.

Covey

Will has my print. Doesn't look like I'll make it, sorry about that.

superflyninja

best of luck with it tonight! pity i cant make it. but ill head out another night

trooney

I'm not gonna be able to make it out tonight either. Weds at the earliest. I'm assuming I'm good to spin over weds and slip one in? (Oo-er missus...)

CabanSail

Actually .....sorry but no.

There was a lot of work put into positioning the exhibition so it all hangs together. Just hanging another print in there will not work.

Sorry Tony. I have to side with CabanSail. There was a lot of work put into hanging and arranging the display the display by all who attended this evening. Trying to insert an extra print into the display would take away from the panel. The whole display would need to be reorganised to fit in extra prints.

It's a pity you and a couple of others didn't make it down with prints for tonight, hopefully next time

ThOnda

I could not get there due to work duties, I am sorry for that.

pullandbang

Wonder what this lot are staring at......

AnCatDubh

I managed to swing back through the library after my trip to the hospital and its a fine display - fair play everyone.

Well worth a visit - a great display to be proud of.

Apologies I couldn't stay too long to help / needed to bail out early but duty called. Anyhow, thank you to everyone who made it, and especially for looking after my herself's print.

PaulieC

many thanks to sinisterdexter for collecting my print from Steve and to whoever hung it, bless you both. hopefully i can get to see over the next two weeks

CabanSail

The hanging was a group thing. We worked out which images were Left, Centre & Right images. Then which should be Up or Down. The next step was to get some symmetry & had that almost sorted when Buzz turned up with more images. We then adjusted it all again. Then tweeked it until it looked good as a body or work.

I think we did quite well & it all works really well.


Now if there were 3 or 4 other images to go up they could use the spare Board at the top of the stairs to hang them. There is no way we can readjust the exhibition which is now finalised.

Knew you had a plan. But I survived to tell the tale

xia

Only helped / suggested a little, but at least that. And really like the result of everbodys input.

And Steve: Thanks a million for print, mount and frame!! Looks brilliant - and is a nice feeling. My first framed photo and now even in an exhibition.

oh, and you guys missed a nice burger and pint - or two

Well, if there are a few more who didn't make it out in time to add to the group...
