Valentines on the Luas

Posted on February 14, 2009August 7, 2012 by declan

Happy Valentines Day.

(Update – I’ve had a bit of a backup failure on my blog and deleted some folders without realising that I had not backed up the files and they were still being used. This means I lost photos from September 2010 back to 2008. Whoops!!! Anyway I managed to restore most of the photos from my library but in this case I couldnt locate the luas photo which I fear only ever lived on my phone and blog and had been deleted from both. Still here are some roses in a photo taken that day as a replacement)

French Fans

I love it when the French fans come to Dublin for the 6-Nations. They are colourful, fun and good for photographs.Good result for Ireland in the game as well.

Snow

I haven’t seen snow in years. Today we finally got some. It didn’t stay on the ground long but I was able to grab a couple of quick shots on the way home tonight. Shame I didn’t have a tripod but at least I have something to remember the “Great Blizzard of 2009”. At least it was a great blizzard if the Irish radio stations were anything to go by tonight.

Liffey Gulls

Some days it can be difficult to take photos. No matter what I try to photograph I never manage to get an image that is up to scratch. A couple of hours of trying and just when I give up I stumble across something good. Last Saturday I was heading to the North Side to meet some friends after a day in town with my camera when I decided to walk down the boardwalk and noticed a man feeding birds. The seagulls seemed to queue up on the banister waiting for a chance to swoop in and grab some bread. My Sigma 18-200 lens may not be the best in the world at taking bird photographs but I think I managed to get an acceptable shot.
