[Meetup] Lesser-Spotted Victoria Square - 18th July

view profile

Andy McMillan (archived) says:

Born from the joke about the Dome being the most over-photographed thing in Belfast, we have a theme for the next meetup - which is being listed as part of the Trans festival.

When Victoria Square opened here a couple of years ago, quite the buzz was generated throughout the city about the innovatively designed consumer heaven. This buzz was reflected in the level of interest shown by the Flickr community in photographing Victoria Square. Now there is the opportunity to explore and photograph the lesser seen Victoria Square. All welcome.

So we'll be given a tour of the entire complex - all the bits we normally don't get to see - by the buildings security team. The only rule being - no photos of the Dome!

The meet also coincides with the Scott Kelby International Worldwide Photowalk Day - so we'll be wandering off after to the Street Carnival on Hill St after to fufil our quota there. There's registration for that over at worldwidephotowalk.com/belfast-ni-uk/.

Epic, looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Yep, great day, thanks Andy. Although the dome was too much of a temptation (from outside looking in, at least!)
Sorry if I appeared to disappear all sudden like but I was heading on into Bangor and had to scoot a bit sharpish after we finished in Vic Sq.
Will get some photos up soon.
