Wed 9th March - St. Patricks Cathedral to Four Courts

SinisterDexter

March 2011 walk:

I am thinking of:
Time: 7pm
Date: Wednesday 9th March (Wednesday just for DanKing :P)
Start: St. Patricks Cathedral
Direction: Down Patrick St towards Christchurch Cathedral, from there down Windtavern Street to take photos of the Four Courts from either side of the Liffey.

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.

Teferi

Definitely make it this time. Canon 450d myself.

alexlyons

doubt I'll make this but would love too! General anesthetic the day before, I'll see how it goes!!

pixbyjohn

Almost certain I can make this one, looking forward to it.

leche solara

I'll be there too (60D) seeing as your magical powers seem to be able to guarantee dry weather. Just get the pub agreed in advance.

Thecageyone

My new [to me] 85mm needs a proper work out. Will try to make it.

foamcutter

Count me in.
Will's record for planning photowalk evenings that are mild and rain free is faultless... so far.

Thanks a mill Dan.

No worries John. My turn to drive

PixbyJohn: Are you feeling poorly? I mean it took you 8 hours rather than 10 minutes to respond to this thread! :P

As for the weather..... I think we deserve some rain..... get some weather shots.

okmqaz42

Would you believe I have an appointment that morning in Blackrock with a specialist who hopefully will replace my left hip shortly, but I will be on the walk almost certain.

condra

I'll try to make it. Sounds like fun.

Canon 450d.

Slight change in plan. I won't get there until 7:30.:o

(Hope he gives you the right answers John)

OK, so we'll have an extra 30mins to take pictures of the Cathedral and the locality.

Half an hour less drinking time.

Thecageyone

I got to borrow a very nice 85 1.4 on the last one, and that convinced me enough to go buy an 85mm 1.8 shortly after. If anyone is willing to loan me a macro on the night I'd be very grateful. I'll trade my 85mm for it for insurance, in case you don't trust me


Using a D90 btw, w/Tammy 17-50 f/2.8, nikon 85 1.8D

alexlyons

I'm heading to galway tomorrow afternoon instead of thursday morning, will have to wish you all the best of luck, then completely blow you away with my images from Oughterard :P

aidan18

any suggestions of a watering hole where we can all meet up after we shot the 4 courts?

Just in case the rest of them get lost again?

Don't know that area around Four Courts at all. But how about this http://www.dublinpubscene.com/thepubs/voodoo.html Looks nice enough to me?

condra

I'm going to have to sit this one out as I have a respiratory infection right now.
I hope you all have a great time. Looking forward to checking out the photos.

- Good pub for showcasing bands butit is far too pricey and they run out of brands far too often and u have to end up some other expensive beer etc :P Bouncers are fairly ok and u get pizza for 3 euros a slice!

I live on the quays so I suppose I'll have to make this one!

pixbyjohn

See you all later, I will have 1 spare tripod for Frag.

A big thank you once again to Will for organising a great photo walk-Shame about the weather!

DJB

Thanks for organising this Will. Pity about the rain. Myself and Fran actually got a few shots on the way home and continued further a field while the rain held off. Looking forward to the next one and less rain. Was good meeting a few like minded people.

Rgds,

Dave

Had a great time on the photwalk last night, the rain didn't dampen our spirits, here are some of the pictures I took, enjoy

aidan18

Cheers Will & Nice to meet everyone again last night.
I will post some damp efforts tonight.

Thecageyone

I didn't make it. But I'll be sure to make every other one in future. Oh yes.

foamcutter

Thanks Will for organising the evening, your record of having perfect nights for photography is broken but the craic in the pub was good.

Jeez. Thanks @DJB I be unable to post any pictures now :mad:
Yours look better than mine, your train shot is way better.

kenwood

Lovely snaps folks,

Pixbyjohn: reminds me of the walk we did last December 12 months. You always get a good one !!

DJB : lovely colours.............

Couldn't make it last night, some really nice pics. Hope to make it for the next one.

foamcutter

A high attrition rate due to rain drops on the lens and blurring due to the strong breeze, it was still an enjoyable night though.
