Herbert Park





Actually I'm really just looking for a reason (any reason) to revisit this album

hoganpoly

Nice shots ...hard to stay focused i,d say any issue with access or is permission required

pullandbang

The shoot was organised by an ad agency so they may have done the whole permission thing. I just turned up and shot......

Thanks will ring them and see what the story is ...never been there before is it a public park or just for hotel guests

smash

It's a public park. I'd say you'd be ok.

hoganpoly

Thanks for the info lads...any other good locations in that area looking at maybe a car shoot at an abandoned warehouse

magicbastarder

in ballsbridge? i'd say you'd be lucky to get a warehouse of any description there.

hoganpoly

maybe not Ballsbridge but anywhere in Dublin thats suitable

thebaz

perhaps down by the Dodder you'd get something a little rougher / different

ps Denis, when did you meet my missus's ? ;-)

Any good locations in Dublin for a shoot Sunday need somewhere quiet enough and with a bit of character ...theme is industrial grunge

Down in the docks?

Yeah, down by the O2 on the docks is decent. But be warned of the scummers that appear when the place quietens down after 5 or thereabouts. The guards came down and gave us a heads up, because some bloke had all his gear taken off him the weeks before up there.

I got these where the old Phantom Station used to be.





Phoenix Park is my favourite overall though. Loads to do/see there - and if the weather is anyway decent, tre lighting is fantastic. Lots of room for great shadows or shooting into the light.

Try down in Poolbeg peninsula. It's too out of the way for k-nacks to be hanging around and there's plenty of grunge and industrial 'scenery'

An out door themed fashion shoot in the city, I relise that 90% of people wearing rain jackets are in the city how ever..

I don't think an urban environment doesn't really bode that well with the hole out door scene a dart ride away your in Dalkey quarry, the south end of the quarry has some nice tanned rock and with the right lighting its a lovely place to be even in the middle of January. and could provide a nice contrast to the out door theme!

Live beside Ballsbridge, for industrial grunge the suggestion of poolbeg is good, shot a lot down there & on the way in from ringsend there's some great old walls/buildings that are fairly grungy. If you ring the ESB at poolbeg I'm sure you'd be able to get in if it's for a project of somesort. Also there's the Irishtown Nature reserve beside there where you could get some shots back onto the industrial landscape & then you've got the beach too!
