ATTN Thumped photographers: Urgent help wanted (1 Viewer)

[Anthony]

I know there are some kick ass photographers here who might be able to help me.
I need a photo of a Georgian Dublin street. As high resolution as possible. You may have this photo already.

€€ for the right pic

busy street? residential?

Give flickr a shot if you haven't tried yet: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=georgian+dublin&ss=2&ct=6&mt=photos&w=all&adv=1#page=0

(Sorry to hijack thread but does anyone have any decent recommendations for a Dublin photo blog? I'm digging this one alot http://www.seriousplace.com/ My criteria are: LARGE pictures, no watermarks/logo/self-whoring, no 'street life' posers falling out of ALT/some cafe on South William Street. Thanks!)

 

[Anthony]

I won't be using the street part of the photo so that doesn't matter. Georgian and instantly recognisable as dublin. Sunny and clean wold be a plus.

 

[Anthony]

oh, should be from a low angle, like on the example.

 

[Theseus Mock]

ah, that exact angle/view point.

Here's the best 2 I could come up with, Georgian Streets get really bad light it seems.

No exact but should be a long street.
That second one might do the job. I'll try it. Not a great pic though.

For the illusion of an intact georgian street that is quite 'low' i would recommend a photo of lwr leeson street from the traffic island at fitz place looking towards the green. The georgian mile - fitz place/square & street is of a larger scale and may be harder to capture in a low profile shot- you could take a photo of that from the same location anyway..

have you tried www.archiseek.com ? - prominent members of an taisce and the dublin civic trust post there - pm me if you want their user names

 

[Anthony]

Thanks Tommy. That one from flker is an ok placeholder but not right. The Georgian Mile sounds like the job. Anyone got any photos of that. I'll be in town tomorrow evening and I can take it myself but I could really do with it sooner.

 

[Anthony]

And thanks Theseus too.

hows this?

pm me if you would like the hi-res

double post

another more modestly- scaled, intact Georgian streetscape to consider would be upperr mount street -either looking towards the pepper cannister church or merrion sq- some good examples on flickr but they are all copy protected. - has the advantge of no traffic signals or shops with garish signage etc...

 

[magicbastarder]

only one i could find was this; i have it in 8500x1700 (approx)

Thanks but the one I had was Dame street and it didn't cut it.

I found a decent photo looking towards the Cannister. Res was crap though.

The bit on the very left would be perfect but it's in shadow unfortunately.

 

[Anthony]

Still looking...

if i was in work today I'd have popped out and done it for you, but i'm not. sorry.
