Walkabout - Tuesday 6th June - Mespil Road - Architecture
The facilitators for this event are our president, David Larkin, and Pat Hogan. The focus will be on Architectural Photography. A follow-up skills workshop will be held in the coming weeks where the images will be processed. Meet at the Mespil Hotel on Mespil Road (50-60 Mespil Rd, Dublin 4, D04 E7N2 at 7pm.
The message from David is as follows: 'We won't be going far - we will focus the evening on the new LinkedIn buildings across the canal to learn about taking architectural images. There will be opportunities to photograph not just buildings but details as well so bring lenses such as 24-70 for the buildings and a lens such as a 70 - 300 to capture details.'
