Fred Fans

Two enthusiastic fans of band, , when they played at the May Day celebrations in back in 2005. I loved their first album, but the second one was just more of the same. Great to hear and watch live though!

Unnamed Beauty

Friday, February 1st, 2008 by Donncha

This is one of the who modeled for Camera Club in September 2006. I can’t remember her name, and at the time I was totally unhappy with the image, but maybe it’s because I haven’t looked at it in a long time, I really like it now.

I shot several similar ones to this, but unfortunately many of them are under exposed. We had studio lighting but because several photographers would shoot at one time and their onboard flash would activate the studio lights so it was hit or miss whether you got a correct exposure or not.

Besides which, I was nervous as well, and didn’t know how to direct someone to pose for me!

Smiling pretty girls

Thursday, January 17th, 2008 by Donncha

On the night when firemen closed off Dorothy Perkins in , a few saw my camera and presumed I was a photojournalist. Some even asked what was happening but I didn’t know!

Anyway, these two wanted their photo taken. They presumed I was with the Evening Echo but I told them photography was just my hobby. Still, got a nice photo considering I was shooting by available light.

I don’t want to be reminded how high I had to shove the ISO to get a decent shutter speed. Thankfully resizing loses some of the noise!

PS. we passed by the shop a few days ago. A sign on the door says, “Closed until further notice”. Does anyone know what happened there?

A small sits on (I presume) her dad’s shoulders on Patrick’s . In the background is the Savoy Center, and of course the building side behind Dunnes is clearly visible in the scaffolding supports to the far left.

This little was playing in the on the as we walked past. Plenty of toys about, but I don’t think she had built a castle yet. It’s lovely to see children playing in the . It’s an age of innocence and (sometimes) simple joy that we forget as adults.
