Photographer In Dunlaoire
-
Visited Dunlaoire today with my Friend on one of his first outings with his new DSLR. Brought my little pocket cam (Canon S95) and got this. Tried to include features that are distinctly Dun Laoire Harbour ( Chains on the bollards, Two Gazebo/bandstand’s).
Wanted this to show a photographer at work, without focusing too much on him. Its both distinctly a photographer, and distinctly in dunlaoire, but its a photo about both, and neither. As an expirement it worked and has given me some ideas on perspective for future photos.
I have a color version also, which is nice as there is a lovely rusty orange color on the bollard right underneath the chain, but the overall composition works much better in black & white so im posting that one here instead.
All critique accepted and appreciated.

I like this type of image, the shallow depth of field and the hint of something going on in the backround. :)
Its a good image without the intrusion of identity if you can understand me.
The B&W really works well too.I’m partial to story telling thru imagery rather than pretty pictures. IMHO, The technical part of an image never can’t exceed the story told. But I would agree that sometimes the story is just to have been there and producing what the photographer thinks they saw.
Much better image than many. The focus, pun intended, is on telling a story about an activity, photography, in a well known place, DL.

:::;;;;;Thanks for the kind words folks. Looks like I managed to articulate exactly the message intended. I wanted to get the idea of a photographer in an identifiable location without clearly identifying either. Ive taken better ohotos in my opiniOn, but none where people other than me got the idea behind the image. Appreciate your comments.
Depends on what you think is a good photo. Like I said being sharp and having a straight horizon isn’t neccessarily goodpicutre
