Liffey Sunset a la Nokia - Dublin, Ireland

Dublin is a Hiberno-English derivative of 'Dubh Linn' (Irish, dubh -> black, and linn -> pool), does that make Dublin the Blackpool of Ireland - i think not....

Walking to Connolly Dart Station from work - crossing the Sean O'Casey Bridge - beautiful sunset.

Bugger! No camera. But wait, i have my camera phone. The N95 camera phone strikes again!

There was a photography group on the bridge with tripods and big cameras. Piffle to them (but secretly, i'll be carrying my 5D in my bag from now on)...

June 2010 - more than 50,000 views. Thanks guys!

Thanks for viewing and making this one of the most popular photos of Dublin!

    Excellent - the sunset colours make it look like somewhere else (not Dublin!). And it's a camera phone? Honestly, if you hadn't said so I wouldn't have guessed...

    My goodness Philip this is impressive. Excellent camera phone!

  5. decsramble (57 months ago | reply)

    WOW, who needs a Digital SLR and lenses when a phone can take photos like this.

    Absolutely beautiful!!! Colours are wonderful for a camera phone. Great composition too, reflections are just great, very well done.

  7. MacGBeing (57 months ago | reply)

    Camera phone, eh? Both my phone and my Pentax Optio are showing their age and I was going to replace them separately but seeing pictures like this makes me thinkI should check out the camera phone option. Of course, then I have to think of something to carry in the other pocket.

    Jesus..didn't realise it was a camera phone until I saw Nicola's comment...Great quality, excellent photo !

  23. féileacán (56 months ago | reply)

    thanks for the comments - yep came from a phone.

    right time right place.

    been back several times with my 'real' camera and never seen the light as good as this.

    Great shot!

  25. Nicola T (56 months ago | reply)

    You know... this is now the most "interesting" photo of Dublin. Congrats!

  26. féileacán (56 months ago | reply)

    How do you know that Nicola ?

  27. Slipping Away (56 months ago | reply)

    Not bad camera, definitely. Great shot.

    Seen next to a fellow photo of Top 20 Dublin. (?)

  28. Nicola T (56 months ago | reply)

    Basically if you put Dublin in a search then order it by Most Interesting then this is the top photo!

    Tah dah!

    Aw, just checked back and it's number 2 now, dElay's After Party has claimed the top spot back, it's like the singles chart, only actually interesting.

    and there are still those who call this luck, I call it skill, (because you can only be wrong so many times).
    Thank you for sharing.

  31. féileacán (55 months ago | reply)

    Thanks Kellys Green - but it was luck - right time - right place - point and shoot....

  32. Dave G Kelly (55 months ago | reply)

    Hey, thanks for knocking me off the most interesting 'Dublin' photos top of the pops!

    You really nailed it with this shot. Right time, right place is a big component of any outstanding photograph. This being no exception. The thing is though, you went 'click'... and that's the difference.

    I esp. love the reflection on Liberty Hall, wow!

  33. Andy Sheridan (55 months ago | reply)

    Quality alright...fair play. It's about time David "top-of-the-tags" Kelly got his come-uppance...
