    Hi,
    I'm in Dublin tomorrow from lunchtime, going to the Aviva stadium for the Ireland game.
    So I have the afternoon free to take some pictures.
    Besides the obvious locations (THE two bridges, crowds on grafton st, The Spike etc.) can you recommend me some good things, locations for shots.
    I dont' mind what- architecture, landscapes, people etc.

    Something besides the 'usual' stuff could be interesting.

    Cheers in advance,
    Pa.

    Howth, Botanic Gardens, Dun Laoghaire pier, windmill lane graiffti, Trinity College or you could go to the photography gallery in Temple Bar

    The Docklands are fantastic if you're into that mix of modern buildings growing on an industrial wasteland :D Moore Street if you're looking for some people 'character' :p

    If you get the 13, the 19, the 19C or the 83 bus from O'Connell Street northbound, they will bring you right outside the Botanic Gardens in a few minutes.
    It's free in and it's full of endless photo opportunities.

    Check with the bus driver, before you get on, as the 13A and the 19A don't go the same route.

    I'd recommend the botanic gardens too, really special place. Forecast is good too so it will be stunning.

    100% agree with this. Glasnevin is fascinating and some stunning shots to be had, especially since a lot of improvement work has been done and the new museum is open.

    Around Grand Canal plaza is lovely too, the new theatre has some very interesting angles.
