Excellent set.
Love the contrasting cool tones paired with the warmth of the hot steel wool.
Of the others no 4 for me.
Great shooting.

Great shot of one of my favourite sights in Dublin.

A friend of mine runs the Ferryman pub on the south bank of the Liffey adjacent to the bridge.

Cheers Steve,
You can just see the pub in the left of this shot from the convention centre side.
I have passed the pub many times, but never been in there.
Must pay it a visit someday

Cheers Dan, John.
It really was just an idle thought, and not something I am likely to try and progress.
That Samyang is one super sharp lens wide open though.
Well worth having one in the bag for the odd times you might want to get creative

After a bit of a downpour this morning, the sun made a brief appearance this afternoon,
K1 + Samyang 135mm f2 @f2
Some of these may have benefited from being stopped down, but that wasnt the look I wanted. I wanted to try and push the shallow dof
Just a personal experiment

It’s curious how wildlife is unperturbed by small craft, this looks fascinating. Any chance of seeing some results?

I'd love to see some too 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Me too

Is that a Pentax A*300/2.8 ?

Aren't you eagle eyed lennybloke
We'll spotted.
I hadn't copped that. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Excellent lens
Excellent seller
Excellent price.
I use the same lens for all my macro shooting.
I'd be all over this If I didn't already have one

Cheers guys

That’s impressive, and nicely photographed. Are there more options for positions, say nearer and leaning over that rail? I do like the blue lights in the background though they really add to the image.

Rob, over the rail is into the Liffey, so no real way to avoid it unfortunately, unless from the other side of the bridge, but then you lose the convention centre from behind the cables.

same angle, just wider
