Photos of the “Jubilee” ferris wheel and roundabout from the Dun Laoghaire Festival.
More difficult to take than I expected. The wheel wasn’t turning very fast, and I found it hard to get a long enough exposure to get really good light trails. I suppose I should have used an ND filter – but didn’t have one with me (hadn’t really expected to need one for this !).
Open House Dublin was on from 7-9th October. I managed to visit 2 properties this year – Government Buildings and Martello Tower Number Seven, Killiney Hill Road. The Government Buildings tour was very interesting, but unfortunately no photos were allowed inside.
The Martello Tower visit was also very interesting – and there are some photos below. The restoration is still continuing – the site being a former town dump for Dun Laoghaire. All the work is an amazing private project by Niall O’Donoghue. You can read more about it here and on the Facebook page here. Once again, these are just some cameraphone photos (I really should start carrying my ‘proper’ camera with me) :
Well, like everyone else, we’ve been having the same cold and snowy weather here in Dun Laoghaire. Here are a few photos taken in Crosthwaite Park, during the recent snowfalls. I’ve already used some of them for my custom Christmas Cards, which I get printed every year.
I don’t have any weddings to photograph until next week – so I wonder will they also be literally “white weddings”. I’ll have to be careful to make sure that all those white dresses don’t get lost with a snowy background ! In the meantime, I can do my indoor work – and enjoy looking out at the snow.
The main reason for this post is the sign just above the head of the guy engaged in an animated conversation on his mobile 🙂
Well, Dalkey is not exactly renowned for street art. However, I saw the image below in an alley just off the main street in Dalkey. I thought it was interesting, and took a quick shot using my cameraphone. I afterwards discovered that the artist – Solus – is quite well known and has a facebook page here
This is just a few fun photos I took a while ago in Dublin. There was an exhibition of Barry Flanagan’s hares from O’Connell Bridge to Parnell Square. The first two show Liberty Hall in the background. The hares are now gone – and Liberty Hall won’t be around for much longer (in its present shape anyway).
And, just for comparison, this one is at IMMA in Kilmainham
