This protest tomorrow...

I'm considering heading up, but have two things on my mind;

1. It's set for 6pm. It's supposed to be around the Dept. of Finance building. Can any dubliners tell me if it'll be dark, or if it's a well lit place? Don't fancy using flash, as I'll end up with a load of dark pictures with illumatied High-vis Garda jackets?

Anyone photographed such a thing at night time?


2. The weather. It's predicting a dry day on Google, though, so hopefully it'll be grand.


Anyone gonna pop along?

Nice crisp, dry day so far - cold though. It'll be fully dark by 6pm so you'll need a flash or a fast lens. It's in a well lit city though so a nice prime might do the job if you can keep it steady.

if sodium street lamps are the main source of illumination, it's hard to pull a decent amount of colour information out of them. unless the orange cast works in your favour.
the forecast is for rain to arrive 'tonight'.

Ah, I won't bother my bollocks then. I'll leave it until they organise another one for daylight hours.

Will have great joy reading about this one though. Shall be a disaster.

Ha, yea, more than likely.

Was thinking about going in myself, not 100% sure though. I'm trying to sell my current cam and if I go to this you just know it'll fall and break.

I tend to just come across them on boards, to be honest. I'm usually flicking through a lot of forums, and the Politics forum tends to have a thread about them.

Also, because it's a protest against the Gardaì, it was in the Emergency Services forum, too.


Never heard of indymedia. Will check it out now.
