Dublin: Around Town
Hello, everyone!
How’s your Monday?
So, it’s a clear day out. I am walking around, camera around my neck. I come upon these twin trees, their bare branches zigzagging upward, glowing in silver against the darkened sky. It draws me in like a moth into a flame. I raise the viewfinder of my camera up over my eye, and there it is, a perfect composition inside the frame lines. I lower the camera and get out my light metre because I want to get the perfect exposure. F8 at 1/125s. I put away my light metre with one hand and adjust my camera settings with the other. Then I raise my camera again, moving centimetres back and forth to get the framing right, and then my alarm clock goes off. It’s 7:23 Monday morning. I turn off the alarm and close my eyes, but the trees are no longer there. I’ve missed my dream shot. Had I set my alarm to 7:30 like a normal person, I would’ve had the shot, at least in…. It doesn’t matter.
Today, I am posting photos I got around Dublin, some on film from February, and some more recent 0s and 1s

And that’s it for today. Thank you for stopping by. Enjoy your week, stay sane! Until next time!
I’ve never once dreamed of being behind the camera. I do hate that you missed your “dream” shot. But these real ones are fantastic. Im partial to your first through a window and light play.
Beautiful set of images there, Li.
