Lots of people have been talking about Grafton Street lately, so I had to go down to have a look for myself.

The christmas lights that go all the way down Grafton Street look absolutely amazing and I hope I have done them some sort of justice with this image.

I know this is similar to the photo I put up a few days ago but I wanted to try it again on Grafton Street. This time I used Bewleys as a backdrop. Most of the shots did not work the same way as the other photograph but what I did get which I found quite funny was that my shutter speed matched, pretty closely, the average pace of the pedestrians due to the fact that only one leg is seen walking.

Another example of settings been set incorrectly, although this time the shot worked out brilliantly.

This is a shot near the bottom of Grafton Street, Dublin of Keith and Dolly, while the remaining tourists went I suppose touring some of the shops further down the road.

I did not realise that the camera was in Shutter Priority mode and that it was set at 1/5 of a second but thankfully my two muses remained quite still during the exposure and I managed to get quite a good photograph of the bustling of people that is Grafton Street.

I was in Dublin today very early 7.40am to be exact, and I thought I would try to get some “dublin wakingup” type pictures….. Well it did not really go as planned looking at the shots I took. This one intrigued me though and I thought it worthy of a post. I hope you like it.
