Smiling pretty girls

Thursday, January 17th, 2008 by Donncha

On the 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?

Girl on dad’s shoulders

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008 by Donncha

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

Firemen in action

Saturday, January 5th, 2008 by Donncha

City Fire Brigade were called out this evening to a shop on Patrick .

I’m not sure what the emergency was but two fire engines were called to the scene and had a Garda escort on the way there. Maybe a gas leak?
A huge crowd gathered around and when some saw my camera they just had to pose for a shot .. more on that next week!

Trivia: these are my first shots posted in 2008 that was taken in 2008. Plenty more 2007 ones to go through yet though!

Starlight headlights

Friday, December 28th, 2007 by Donncha

A long five second exposure at f/22 captured stuck on Patrick about a month ago.

They’ve done some fabulous work on the pavements of ’s main thoroughfare but it hasn’t made a jot of difference to vehicular traffic, except to make it more dangerous to pedestrians as they saunter across junctions blissfully unaware of the bearing down on them ..

Christmas Baubles

Tuesday, December 25th, 2007 by Donncha

Baubles hang in Porter’s newsagent, . decoration is everywhere but reflective surfaces present an opportunity to take a self portrait. Yes, that’s me reflected! :)

Hope you had a great Day. We went travelling and I must say it was the best Day in a long time. I think I must invest in a WII next year…

A busy moment

Sunday, December 23rd, 2007 by Donncha

Freeze what you’re doing. Right now. The world has stopped.

A busy moment on Patrick’s , captured forever.

I liked this image because of the solitary rider, but then I noticed all the activity: the walking, *all over* the frame, the parked security truck with the driver leaning over to get his papers.
All frozen.

Special K Diet

Friday, December 7th, 2007 by Donncha

“Shape up your day” with the Special K diet according to .

Your shape. Your way. With Special K of course. That stuff is full of salt isn’t it? Having said that, I do love a bowl of Frosties. Never lasts long in the house. Good thing I haven’t bought a packet in years!

‘Course, I could just be talking about Ketamine too. :)
