The lively Temple Bar district is very photogenic at night. Using a tripod and long exposures allows capturing the decorated exteriors of the pubs (the main feature of the district) while blurring the motion of the crowds, which adds atmosphere to the images. Experimenting with shutter speed is also interesting, as it results in various degrees of motion blur, sometimes producing surprising effects.
On a winter Irish night, photography is fun only until the photographer’s fingers start losing sensitivity in the cold. Fortunately, the best place to regain warmth is inside a pub, and there is no shortage of those in Temple Bar (or in Dublin in general, for that matter).
