    Hey, I love taking photos, and I was wondering is there any great places which at nighttime look great? Around Dublin. I've been to: Howth, Bray, Dun Laoghaire for night photo and IFSC with Docklands.

    Any other great places?
    Including: places with:
    interesting lighting
    huge traffic flow (slow time photography)
    view of city
    and other...

    You're not supposed to take photos in the IFSC and someone will come over and tell you. I had some bewildered Latvian visitors recently who fell foul of the security there.

    It was always like that.
    From the Quays it's fine, but the IFSC itself is private property, so you might get chased away from there, but they can't do anything if you shoot from the Quays.

    I reckon a slow time shot from here on the Coolock Lane roundabout over the M1 would look pretty cool as the traffic enters and emerges from the Port Tunnel.

    Heading up to the other bridge on the roundabout and facing north from here might also be worthwhile with the long stretch of motorway and incoming aircraft approaching the airport as a backdrop.

    I am in college in IFSC area, so I can always have excuse - "It's for college, don't believe me? go to my college and ask." .

    I took many pics in those areas.

    Thanks, but is there place to park around corner or so?

    Loads of places. Its a residential area. The Centra on Coolock lane is probably the handiest spot. Its only a 2 minute walk from the roundabout.

    Out in Stepaside there is a good view of the city, near Lamb Doyles pub at the entance to Ticknock park estate. Looks well at night

    There was a post about this on the photography forum before. A security guy stopped someone and he wrote to whoever manages IFSC. You are allowed to take photos there if you're a private photographer. It's doing it for commercial reasons that isn't allowed.
