Thurs 10th Feb - Grafton St to Central Bank

SinisterDexter

My second walk for 2011:

I am thinking of:
Time: 7pm
Date: Thursday 10th Feb
Start: Grafton St. Entrance of St. Stephens Green.
Direction: Down Grafton Street, on to Suffolk Street, Andrew St, Trinity Street and across to Central Bank.


Who is welcome?
Everybody! Even if you have a Point & Shoot or a film camera, are an amateur or Pro. Everybody is welcome.
You will need a tripod, if you don't have one then say so here and someone may have a spare for you.

Register your interest here and I will DM you my mobile num nearer the date.
Mention what camera you have and somebody might bring a spare lens for you to try.


If this worked there should be a map of the route below!

Please note I will be offline from the 29th (Sat) until Feb 5th (Fri) but will respond to everyone after that.

Lao Lao

Was raging that I missed the Docklands one so will be definetly up for this one.

If any kind soul has a spare tri-pod that I could borrow on the night, I would be eternally grateful

pixbyjohn

Thanks Will
I will be on this walk for sure and I have 3 spare tripods
1 for Lao Lao, now 2 spare

jaansu

I'm definitely interested. Have my own tripod.
I have a D3000

I am a virgin photowalker so I hope you'll be gentle.

Fair Play SinisterDexter. Are you going for 1 photowalk a month?
Yep I'd love to do another evening walk to pick up some more tips using a D5000.
I hope the weather is as mild and pleasant as the last time

baby and crumble

Deffo up for this one! If something comes up this time I will be MOST displeased... :mad:

:D

DutchGuy

I'm going to do my best to make this one, I have a spare tripod as well that I can bring. I have no idea what gear I'll bring at this stage, my DSLR is broken atm so I might bring a film camera and some high speed film instead (must remember to get some high speed film before then).

Thanks for organising Will!

squeakyduck

I might be on this walk, but I think I might be going to dinner with a friend who is leaving soon for Korea, but if the date changes I will be there fo' sho'!!!

I hope to make it (if it doesn't rain). I have a tripod, D7000 and a few different lenses.

tylerdurden94

Have only started out recently have picked up a Canon 1000D with the kit lens but am waiting for a 50mm 1.8 should hopefully be here in the next few days.

Was recently out with Lao Lao on my first ramble with my camera and he had mentioned about the photowalks over here and that he wanted to go on the last one and that you should go on one if they pop up again.

Seems like it should be good experience so I should be in for this and could do with borrowing a tripod it anybody has one to spare?

I will have a spare tripod to loan you on the night.

WillyWonka

Edit: I'll have a D90, 18-200mm and 35mm 1.8 + Tripod + SB600.

Ah thats fantastic thank you very much sir

I see Lidl have a tripod for sale next week €10 would it be any use?

I only have 1 set of photos so far and was gonna put them up here but dont think I could take the criticism right of the bat

I am gonna be blogging at a poker festival next week and hope to get some cool snaps and then hopefully get 1 more day out somewhere to try and build up my sets.

EmilyCoco

Hi,

May I join your Photowalk? The Grafton Street one. Thanks. I have a Canon D50.

Looking forward to taking part.

Thanks.

frag420

Now that I have my new Canon 500d I want to take that bad boy out on the town..............so would love to tag along and get some tips.

Would like to borrow a tripod too if possible??

@FoamCutter Once a month would be do-able. Though you start having problems with the middle light - is it night is it day? - in a few months.

@WillyWonka is a SB600 a Flash?

@TylerDurden - that tripod is really only for compact point & shoots as shown in the picture. It wouldn't hold the weight of a DSLR.

@EmilyCoCo Everybody is welcome... even serial killers (just keep your urges in check as this is a photowalk not a killing walk) :P

@frag420 I think PixbyJohn has one last one spare.... and it might have your name on it!



As I said before:
Everyone is welcome!
I am away offline until next Fri/Sat catch you all then!

pixbyjohn

frag420, you may have a loan of my last spare tripod for sure.

Sp00ky

Sounds good count me in!

I'm in! Last walk was the killiney hill sunrise IIRC! Can't wait!

Are Polish lads welcome as well on this photowalk? If yes, count me in.

Of course, you would be most welcome

Teferi

I'd be up for this. I shoot with a Canon 450d. If anyone has a spare tripod for me I would be most grateful

runrabbit

I'd like to come along to this! I'm very much an amateur; I have a Canon 500D with the basic kit lens and that's it - no tripod at the moment. If one is going spare that would be great - otherwise I might try to pick one up at the weekend - can anyone recommend one that's good value and light to carry?

I’ve been practicing a bit and have my free half-day training this weekend so I’m looking forward to picking up some more tips next week!

baby and crumble

Anyone have a nice wide-angle that'll go on a Canon 10D? (not the newer ef-s mount). I only have a 35-80, not quite wide enough, esp with the crop factor...

I can't offer much to anyone else tbh, I only just got round to getting myself a cable release!! :rolleyes:

pixbyjohn

These tripods are cheap and cheerful and light. Adequate until you wish to spend a lot more .

Thecageyone

I'm in.

alexlyons

Might add a plus 1, trying to get the OH to come! If she doesn't, I'll have a spare cheap tripod. You'd need either a timer or remote release to eliminate the flimsy wobble :P

Hey Will, Any chance this can be changed to the Wednesday or Friday night

leche solara

I really enjoyed the Docklands one, and am game for this one too. Have a new 60D and itching to try out its lowlight capabilities. Will need a tripod.

thumbninja

aidan18

Thank you kindly, I picked up one in argos today; not this model as it was sold out but only had to splash out a few euros extra! It's light anyway which is great and hopefully it will serve me well while I'm learning!

So I'm all set - I just need the weather and my nerves to hold out
