6th Paul Freeney Photowalk-City Nightshoot,20 Aug

Meet at Starbucks Dame Street 7.30 Friday August 20th.

Following our hugely successful Carnsore Point Photowalk in July, I have changed direction yet again. I have had occasion over the last couple of months to be in Dublin at night and have brought my camera, but being on my own I didn’t want to be lumbering around a tripod. I have learned to use railings, rubbish bins and post boxes as a means of steadying my camera and it has developed into the idea of a City Nightshoot Challenge.
So here it is: The Dublin City Nightshoot Challenge, a Nocturnal Photowalk.

Rules and Guidelines:

  1. No tripods, Monopods, Gorillapods, in fact no camera steadying implements whatsoever (at least none that are made for that purpose). If you want to use your camerabag or rolled up hat, that’s ok, but you get the idea!
  2. My own preference is that everybody turns up with a single camera and lens, slung over the shoulder, partly because it will be easier to look after and will be less of a security risk (this is Dublin on a Friday night !)
  3. It is important that we stick together to a reasonable degree on this walk and look out for each other.
  4. The Photowalk will end with a debriefing in Mulligans of Poolbeg Street, best pint of Guinness on Earth.

Examples of my own humble efforts of what can be achieved at night without a tripod are here:

    Thanks to the Eleven people who turned up on Friday night for what was a very pleasant evening in good company with perfect conditions. The sky had the odd cloud for interest, the tide was in full and flat as a mill pond.

    See you all next time…
