Good colours and reflections, Derek. (I prefer the colour version of the last image.)

Cheers.

Thank you for taking us on a lovely wander along the quays.
I much prefer the B&W of Ha'penny Bridge. Partly that is because the house the far side have been darkened down till it has disappeared.
It would be no good if we all liked the same thing.

Fantastic set Derek, the one looking over the bridge (colour version) is a wow shot and my favourite in this post.

Cheers everyone,
The Ha'penny bridge shot, which is also my fav of the night, was tough to get and edit.
I waited for about 20 mins, stood there with tripod waiting for a gap in the crowds of people using it.
There was no gap, but this one had fewer people leaving trails, I've left one trail in, on the top right side of the bridge.
Would like to be able to tone down the building in the background of the colour shot, properly.
Its probably Dublins most famous bridge,

Very nice Derek... the Halfpenny Bridge shots are the standouts for me too... both the colour and b/w versions work very well to my eye... will come down to feel and personal preference... I personally like the colour version for its warmth... quite unexpected given the darkness it comes out of... but there’s a stark, almost clinical precision to the b/w that also has merit... more minimalist to my eye... choices, choices...

Best

That colour one is my favourite as well. I also like the tower building in no 2 - which would stand on its own/ be even better without the building to the right IMO

Cheers Andy, if id had a different lens with me i would have done the convention centre, (tower) on its own, dont think the shot will stand up to that big a crop.

Not being a Flickerite, what does Explored represent? Something good, obviously, 'cos it's a jolly good picture.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Hi David, Flickr has this thing called explore, it's seems to contain mostly excellent images, although there are some duffs in there too. Not sure how they decide what gets in, could be an algorithm.
Result is the other shots from that night have around 50 views, that shot has around 7500 views
Other than that it actually means very little.

An set of images showing a professional level of photography. Well framed and exposed. As above, the halfpenny bridge image is just a stand out there and be admired image. Very well done.

Best regards
