Thurs 13th - Dublin Docklands

Squidgy Black

Has anybody got a spare tripod they'd be willing to lend a poor student for thursday night?

I'll be super careful, and you can supervise if you wish :P

Thecageyone

Going to give that D200 a good workout? How's it going for you so far?

Tiriel

I'm hoping to make it along to this aswell and have asked Snorlax to join me - so that's two more!

I have yet to get a tripod - but did order a joby slr gorilla-pod and hoping that it will arrive on time and will be enough for the evening!

yep, dying to try out some night shots too it's going pretty well, much different to my d3000, but I've gotten a grip with it, and I'm just waiting to get a chance to make some good shots with it :rolleyes:

jam_mac_jam

Me too, sounds good, please put me down for this. Only learning but as I work in the IFSC I have no real excuse not too. Thank you

- Well we will have enough 'flashes'!

SinisterDexter

Those who have registered interest have received PM's with my phone number.


This allows you to contact me if:
- you are running late
- you are lost
- you find free beer


If you are running late, and don’t have my number, you will find us walking down towards the new white bridge that looks like a harp on it’s side (Samuel Beckett Bridge), crossing over that bridge and walking back towards Grand Canal Dock.


Regards,
Will

aidan18

all going well I hope to make it on Thursday

T-rev

You can park down near the O2 along the quays for free at night. I always do.

Stevokenevo

I can bring along a Gorillapod if someone needs to use it.

foamcutter

Check list

• Camera Kit bag
• Tripod
• Umbrella
• waterproofs
• fingerless gloves

but I might bring a few of these for the craic. (I hope I picked the right hashtag :eek: )



I hope it's not windy or we'll never see them again.

Cook my sock

I am tempted to go on this, even though i've taken many a crappy picture in that area. would be my first photowalk... hmm... i'll see how I feel about it when the time comes!

Cyrusmekon

Room for 1 more?

Just moved from Melbourne Australia. Would be keen to get on the photography going again.

Looking forward to it.

leche solara

I might be in the area.

Promac

Barring work keeping me late I'll come along too! Only got a mini-tripod now but it'll make it interesting

pixbyjohn

There is great interest in this walkabout, maybe it might be wise to break it up into 2 groups where group 1 can take a clockwise route and group 2 take anticlockwise route or maybe the 30 plus of us can commandeer O'Connell Bridge for a few hours :eek:

SinisterDexter

It is a big group. There is no clockwise/anti-clockwise. If you cross the bridge closest to The Point you end up at a toll gate. No road leading back.

Neasha

hi ill be there.

46, wow is Dublin BIG enough for this ? Great

SinisterDexter

46

Where did you get 46? I got 47 and that doesn't include a few twitters.

It will all be fine.

If you are walking up the docks, even after 7:30, and you meet guys/gals with cameras PLEASE! PLEASE! continue on up the The Point. You are looking for me, wearing a beanie cap/hat saying ZSL on it, seen here and I'll tell you what the story is.

The *aim* is to get as far as Grand Canal Dock - which *may be private property and you *may get hassled by security (see below) - and the final meeting point (pub) is The Ferryman (go back towards Samuel Beckett).

Grand Canal Dock/Security:
I asked and nobody on here responded, but I have heard *rumours, that Grand Canal Dock is private land (just like the IFSC IS)
IF you have taken Photos, Security Can NOT make you delete them. Just walk away the way you came.
I have been in the Grand Canal Dock on a previous Photowalk (now I'm showing how bad my photos can be) and have not seen security.
DO NOT ANTAGONIZE, if there is security then it is private land. You may be amateur but anything you take CAN NOT be sold IF it is private land.

This is purely a side note. Everything else should be fine.

Last but not least:
Thank you ALL for your interest.
I hope it meets your expectations.
Have fun, talk to strangers (with cameras) and come out waiting for the next walk.

Regards,
Will

bigmanhole

Great turnout.... well if 45 people cant help me get at least one good photo the job lot is going in the liffey

SinisterDexter

If your going in the Liffey, would be a great story book (your rescue), I bags your gear!

Squidgy Black

Think I might have to pull out of this one guys, haven't Bern able to get my hands on a tripod and I'm short on cash this week to buy one

SinisterDexter

Come along anyway, that's what the railings are for!

Squidgy Black

D200 resting on the rails of a river? I'm getting nervous just thinking about it

That's what the lanyards/neck thingys are for.


I am not accepting no!

aidan18

47 and counting .. I am not buying the first round....

foamcutter

I've a spare tripod, but the quick release plate is missing (camera was stolen) I can bring it along if somebody wants to rest their camera on it.
It might help if there are no seats/fences/bins to use.

Would you use a Monopod, I can loan you one. It would be a pity if you have to miss this walkabout.
My spare tripods are taken by Chevron, frag420 and Xia's friend.
Anyone else with spare tripods please bring them along.

leche solara

If my Gruupy gorillapod doesn't arrive in the morning I'll either be leaning on walls and railings or I'll be needing to borrow.

I'd love to see one security guy try to tell over 40people that they cant take pics !!! ... lol.... surround him and everyone flashing (their flashes).

I will bring a tripod into work tomorrow - maybe 2 if I can find the second one (if someone wants to borrow - drop me a PM - I'll be in the Four Courts)

Squidgy Black

I've sorted a tripod out, SinisterDexter's offered to loan me one, but thanks a lot for the offers guys

Thecageyone

Looks like I will be able to join you lot after all Thanks to Borderfox, fair play.

I have a cheap old tripod here but it's a bit dodgy, the handle that holds the main plate upright won't tighten, it's fine if you keep hold of it. It has a quick release [which might fit the one that's missing it as mentioned by foamcutter?

Cakes.

It's going to be a quiet night on the photography forum






:P

Sure will!

All the [virtual] mouths will be down the docks!

What am I gonna do?? I rarely talk unless it's through my fingers and these chunky keys!

Promac

Did someone say the gingerman?

This is turning out to be a bit of a party

Frag is out, pass it on to SteTyrell please.
Will still bring my crappy one and a monopod.

Borderfox

I have a spare Manfrotto 190 but no quick release plate for it, looking above we might be able to blue peter one together

baby and crumble

hey all, you can take myself and the plus one off, I'm not able to make it tonight :mad::mad::mad:

Enjoy though, looking forward to seeing the pics!

Zo

Tiriel

I'm the same sorry for short notice, was looking to it. Boo

SinisterDexter

Boo is right!

Hope to catch you both on the next walk!

SinisterDexter

going offline (off laptop) in 15mins. If you are not coming please text me, or catch me on twitter @genleespecific

If you are in town early I will be in The Porterhouse Central (Grafton St/Nassau St) from about 5pm - Minus the beanie/hat.

Tiriel

I know I'm annoyed I've never given night photography a proper shot so was really looking forward to it! Next time though!

squeakyduck

I'm hoping to be down at the point at about 6.30....I'll be wearing a pair of green docs....please come over if you see me!
