A sequel to this shot

I’m fairly sure it’s illegal to publish a photo of a Garda (Irish Police Officer) on duty.

St. Stephen’s Green, Dublin

Another from the flickr Dublin meet on Saturday.

3 security guards watching over the (poorly-attended) Rock the Vote event in St. Stephen’s Green on Saturday.

It’s been a while. Sorry about that.

Shot from the hip on Moore Street, during the Flickr Dublin meetup on Saturday.

Processed using Bhalash’s Bleach Bypass technique.

Yes, I know I’ve neglected the blogging. Sorry about that.

Went to the opening of the new skate park in Greystones, which Wicklow County Council’s blog (yep, they have a blog) [UPDATE: on further investigation, the blog appears to be a commercial thing] likes to boast is the biggest in the country. It involved lots of skating, BMXes and rollerblading, aswell as some live music. Took plenty of photos.

Couldn’t get Kick, Push by Lupe Fiasco out of my head while processing them

Few of my favourites here, then more after the jump.

(more…)

18-55mm lens at the wide end.

Shot not quite from the hip (more like the chest), but without looking through the viewfinder. I think my aim is improving.
