Not being a Flickerite, what does Explored represent? Something good, obviously, 'cos it's a jolly good picture.
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.

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.

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,

Not sure what it is either, but he sure is a handsome chappie.
Well shot

Cracking set and fabulous story to go with them, they don't come across as grab shots, with some lovely compositions.
5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
With 5 leading the charge for me.
Great to see you posting again
👏👏👏

Thanks guys, photography wise it wasn't a bad year, but I'm not sorry to see the back of 2018.
I'm hoping to get stuck into it more this year and making time to do what I love doing, just getting out and shooting.
Still trying to get my gear to a place where I'm happy with my setup. (I'm a little fussy) maybe.
