This shot is the first in a new series from Ireland. We made it back to Dublin and I found a way to photograph the Temple Bar area. Welcome!
I wish I could remember the name of the pub where I took this picture as well as the previous one – down one of the first streets in the Temple Bar area. Anyway, both the bar itself and one of the tables were covered in brightly polished copper.
I was determined to try to capture the beauty and the light.
As I’ve mentioned in the first Ireland-post, most of the time my picture taking would be limited by how far I could fall behind the family. Once a day, however, I had plenty of time – when we had our pub stop.
There was no way Peter was going to miss out on good beer while in Ireland, and thankfullt the laws around allowing minors into pubs are quite liberal. We would usually find a much needed seat around 4 p.m. and hang out for a good hour before leaving again. There was just a limit to how much walking could be done in one day.
Spending that much time relaxing in one place also gave me time to take in my surroundings and go for that challenging shot that usually only patience and trying every angle will get you. Here’s one of them.
