Photo of the Liffey and reflections

I feel that this photo of the Liffey communicates tranquility. The reflections of the street lamps on the Liffey make a nice composition.

Photo of a blue Liffey

It amazes me how blue this photo of the Liffey is. In fact we have two colours that dominate the photo: black and blue. Only a pair of lights from cars on the right break the darkness of Dublin and the Liffey. Very nice photo. And the contour of our already familiar scenery creates a good harmony on the photo. Don't forget you can click on the photo for a larger format.

Afternoon photo of the Liffey

In this photo of the Liffey I concentrated more on the southern side of Dublin, the side of Temple Bar facing the river. You can barely see the four courts building on the photo. The colours of the image are very intense as you can see and the blue, red and orange make a nice combination. Click on the photo for a larger version.

Nice blurry Liffey photo

This is another photo of the Liffey from the series when I made them blurry on purpose. I think they are nice. Most of the photos of the series are taken during the night.

Liffey reflections

I must accept, that sometimes the photos I took of the Liffey were not very sharp or not sharp at all. I blamed my camera sometimes, my pulse, the wind, etc. But in this case, the photo above, I managed to get a very sharp photo of the Liffey.

The Liffey in the night

This is another photo of the Liffey in the night. I took several images with this kind of effect. It is curious to see how close looks the Four Courts to the other side of the river, because of the effect of the photo.

Dublin and the Liffey at night

The photos at night were particularly difficult. Not enough light, cold weather and a shaky pulse, did not help me very much.

I took the photos with an analogue camera and I had to scan all the pictures I am publishing here. I did not scan the prints but the negatives and dias, that's why sometimes you get to see some dust on the image. Normally I didn't enhance the colour, the contrast, or anything on the photo.

The photos at night, were specially difficult to scan, as the scanner did not recognise the dark areas of the picture. I had to dismiss some of them, as it turned out impossible to get a good scan.
