Kitsnaps: Golden Graveyard
This is from the same shoot that yesterday’s misnamed Canal Reflection is from. The light was utterly magnificent that morning, and I got a lot of really, really nice shots. This was in January 2006, *just* after we got here, and mere days after I got my (now broken) Nikon D50 DSLR, so I was out taking loads of pictures and getting a handle on the new camera. I believe I was sort of balanced precariously over a wall trying to take this picture, as the wall was exactly the…

I mean, it still connects it, but probably in Days Of Yore, the building across the street did not house a history-of-Dublin tourist thing. :) Ten-second exposure or so, which I had to shoot several times to get a really appealing set of vehicle lights going under the bridge. :)

To make up for yesterday’s snapshot, today we have Art. :) I took this for a photography class. The actual purpose of the assignment was working on depth of field, and the original of the photo turned out splendidly. But I was screwing around with it in Photoshop and accidentally (effortlessly) blacked out the background. I thought. “Woo! Art!” and kept a copy like that. It gets more awesome the larger it’s displayed at, because the detail is very sharp and clean. But I shall refrain from posting a giant-sized…
