Hmmmm sounds like an idea... how late would we need to be out these days? I'd like to get some shots with that nice dark blue sky, before it goes completely black - would that be 7-8ish? Any ideas for locations, just Liffey Bridge area?

rymus · 02-10-2006 08:27AM

I am... any chance you could all come down to Cork though?

Yea about 8ish and along the Eden Quay boardwalk you get a great view of the river and city lights.

Further down the docks just past the customs house it's quiet and perfect for setting up a tripod.

So who's free this weekend?? or maybe friday

02-10-2006 11:33AM

I'd be on for it aswell ,I haven't used my camera in a few weeks now.

GristlyEnd · 02-10-2006 11:36AM

Count me in. Any idea of dates?

elven · 02-10-2006 12:01PM

Would it be better on a non busy drinking evening? Or had you intended to warm up afterwards in a drinking establishment?

Fajitas! · 02-10-2006 12:37PM

Warm up

Sebzy · 02-10-2006 12:44PM

Friday would be good for me as no work in the moring and we can grab a few beer's a bit later on. plus all the bars will have their lights on trying to coax us in the more lights the better.

How about this friday the 6th???

hands up

hmm, a bunch of guys meeting up in the dark to talk about how long their lenses are........... ;-)

02-10-2006 12:52PM

I'd go along ,but the first sign of an ambush and I'm outta there

Hmmm ok was thinking of just talking along the 11mm but now I dont think it's enough

Seb.

mdebets · 02-10-2006 12:57PM

Count me in too.

...there are so many things I could say but I'm sure they would all get turned around on me so I won't. Far too much innuendo going on round here just now - I thought this was a family place!

Would we be safe enough, anyway, in a group, at 8-9pm? I'd love to get some shots of the lights reflected on the cobbles in temple bar. Think there's a good chance of rain on friday, so there'd be reflections, as long as it clears up enough to be out shooting in.

It should be quite safe along the boardwalk and the docks just dont leave you bag on the ground and walk away. been up to the docks many times after dark and feel ok about setting up equipment there.

Good man Dimy the customs house is right across the river from Tara St DART station. See the link in the first post

Dimy · 02-10-2006 06:18PM

leinsterman · 03-10-2006 06:28PM

mdebets · 03-10-2006 08:39PM

Greysoul · 04-10-2006 08:48AM

mikeanywhere · 06-10-2006 08:06AM

sniff sniff

Fajitas! · 06-10-2006 03:28PM

For some reason I thought this was on tonight...

I'm dissapointed now

Anyone want to go shooting anyways?

I don't think I'll be online for the rest of the evening, but give me a text if yer up for it...I have nothing better to do than nurse a hangover!

Number's 087 9282991, and I'm in the Rathmines area, so giz a text.

elven · 06-10-2006 08:28PM

ach dammit, didn't see this til I'm home and on the sofa with my blanket. And it's dark. Well, next weekend anyway. May head to Glendalough tomorrow though for some mushroom macros, if the weather isn't miserable.

mikeanywhere · 06-10-2006 08:36PM

Bet there will be a few moon shots on the boards in the next few days. What a scorcher tonight - so clear, bright and full (the moon I mean - woof woof!!)

Sebzy · 06-10-2006 11:12PM

Just back from a night of drinking with Fajitas and yes there shall be lots more next week.

See you all friday.

Seb.

Fajitas! · 06-10-2006 11:17PM

Myself, Seb and Smiley went out tonight. In my hungover state, I forgot to bring a CF card. Thank god.

Because I forgot my battery too...

So we went to the pub instead

tab126 · 07-10-2006 01:29AM

Friday the 13'th? Seems like asking for trouble, but I could probably (and would def. want to) make that. Just curious, what would you be aiming to shoot? And the only fast lens I have is a 50/1.8. Everything else starts at about a f/4. Think that's fast enough?

Fajitas! · 07-10-2006 07:49AM

I'm not going fast at all, I'm going for long exposures. F11 would be grand for that

Sebzy · 07-10-2006 10:59AM

Have got some nice results with ISO50 and F22 on a 11mm before but thats just me being crazy....

Seb.

tab126 · 07-10-2006 02:28PM

Hmm... so tripod required? Check. Should be interesting trying to ride the bus back with a camera and tripod. I suppose I should get a shutter release, too. I seem to have lost a key part of mine recently -- the part that attaches to the camera.
