Our first club outing will be to Dublin Bay on Sunday 31st of january. We plan to be there at about half tide, this allows great sunrise images of the skyline in this area. Sunrise is just after 8am, so we’ll need to at the car park at 7.45am.
Bring wellies and a tripod, if possible please bring these items if you have them, nd grad filters & a polarising filter.
If you still feel up to it after the walk on the beach, perhaps breakfast in the city centre and a bit of early morning street photography. You should be back in Mountmellick for lunch.
All of this is “weather permitting”
