    I'm going to pull out I think - we've got a few maybes, and I don't fancy hanging around O'Connell St on my own in the evening.

    I'm going to head into the Maritime Festival myself in the next hour or so (ship tours finish at 7). Will check back on here before I leave the house, so if anyone wants to meet up down there, let me know and I'll be in touch.

    Calina = dead on feet and rather burned out.

    It was a bit thronged alright. About the only "maritime" photo I got from the day:

    Calling Tallon....
    or anyone who's going to be in the Maynooth area tonight?

    Tallon - if you're still available for a walk-about in Maynooth, drop me a PM to confirm.


  • Registered Users Posts: 762 ✭✭✭Buzz Lightyear


    Maynooth's only up the road ... any room for an old fogie ?

    How did you guys get on? sorry I missed it :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,967 ✭✭✭mrmac


    Hiya Tallon - I was going to take a spin over to the Weston Aerodrome, but got held up trying to get a decent (hand held) shot of the moon :) Then got a call from Buzz and decided to head up to the canal in Enfield!!! Unfortunitly, the light was fading fast by the time I got there, but it's a nice location (banked for future use), and Buzz Lightyear, aka PH, is a great guy - talked shop until I could no longer see him :D

    When I got back to Maynooth, I spent the next hour "shootin' da moon!"
    (Have to get this out of my system - another year or two should do it!)

    Once you've scouted out your new area, give me a shout!

    Will do, have a few places already, Carbury castle is only around the corner and there's a few other places I still have to visit, if anybody is down that way, call in for a cuppa :)

    Great - I'll bring some KitKats!
    (oooohhhhhhh KITKATS - right, that's it, I'm away for a break!!!!)

    Some year it might get to be the right shade of white :D.

    Enjoyable night MrMac. We didn't get much shooting done, but had a great natter. Yep it did get dark, but thats generally what happens when you end up meeting at sunset ;). However some morning I might just get up to that spot for sunrise, then again being a night owl I might just stay up for it :eek:

    Photobuddy worked out well. MrMac's a nice guy - we'll do it again some time.

    Send me a Pm if you do go. I have signed up. Not sure I like the idea of joining 50 people but it might be a good way to meet people/boardsies....


  • Registered Users Posts: 32 TheWealth


    Gotta agree, great idea...sometimes it can be a pain in teh arse trying to get a good night shot and even to have a second person there with another opinion is always good

    hey everyone, new to the world of dSLR, always have had an interest in photography but took the leap last week with a Nikon D40. Just added myself to the map, eager to learn more! Great forum, just subbed!

    You look fairly close to me on the map coolmoose. let me know if you are around cork/surrounding area much?!:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 564 ✭✭✭WillyWonka


    Well I thought this thread was a good idea but after last night I think its a GREAT idea!!

    Was on my own about to take a few snaps yesterday evening in pheonix park, by the big monument. Bright as could be, with loads of people around when 3 scumbags tried to take the camera off me. Some screwdrivers, bottles, projectiles and sprinting later I managed to get away.

    And the worst part is I'll still be paying taxes to keep those f**kers off their heads!

    What a waste of space.

    Rant over.

    Noted - I live on the side of the park & was toying with the idea of some long exposures. I'll think about taking a back up crew & have to pin myself on the map.


  • Registered Users Posts: 436 ✭✭eeyore2502


    Hope you are ok, you must have been so terrified.

    I went to the Phoenix park one night for a bit for long exposure but made sure I brough hubby with me.

    yeah I'm ok, luckily enough! :)

    Bring runners just in case ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 436 ✭✭eeyore2502


    Scary stuff you would think you are safe when its day light, what ever about in the dark thats a different matter.

    Glad the swines didn't get anything from you.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,763 ✭✭✭Fenster


    Never forget that your tripod has spikes on the bottom!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24 Samuisue


    Wouldn't have thought about that, i'd be more likely to use it as a club :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,219 ✭✭✭Calina


    anyone interested in some late evening photography in Dublin City Centre this evening, Georges Quay/Customhouse quay, Liffey bridges?


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,699 ✭✭✭ThOnda


    I am about to go there now, Calina. Shout when you see me, please.


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,624 ✭✭✭✭Fajitas!


    If you want to see some ghastly sights, I'll be drinking in Morrisons Hotel (I think), further down along the quay. Some music-award-ceremony-after-party. My friends are playing. I think they're wearing liquid leggings again. They're male.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,219 ✭✭✭Calina


    Bother. I only found out you were in town now. Pity. Well I hope the Morrison was good.

    We'd a good one, me, Covey, ThOnda and RoryW. DarrenG was in for a while as well.
