'Bhi craic agus ceol againn': We had fun and music.

Craic being an Irish language word for good times, gossip, music, drinking, debauchery of any kind, or good clean fun. No real English equivalent.
Fun doesn't really cut it though. General banter, good times had by all.
Also, a person who is good fun/great company
If asked this question by an Irish person, you are expected to give a reply which includes
information on how you are, what you are doing, where are you going, with whom are you going there,
have you any interesting gossip one might like to hear about, and so on.
The shot was taken in O'Conners famous bar, where people from around the world gather just to have some "craic"
I used ISO 3200 with ambient light, ran the image in NeatImage and adjusted the color in PS.

Olá Miguel
ótima captura e composição nessa jam...
é como se imagina que deva ser um encontro desse tipo...
a luz esta ótima, e vc usou bem o neatimage, bons DOF, POV nitidez e cores perfeitas dando um tom quente a imagem...

Taba/Tayon

In this way I imagine their bars,to be sincere!!And for this reason I made a reservation for an Irish restaurant for our next TE meeting (as you can read in my intro )....This is not a simple shot and I admire it very much
Thanks
Have a nice weekend

Olá Miguel,

Your picture reflects perfectly what you can expect of an Irush pub. You were so close to the scene that you seemed to be one of the musicians. I spent four weeks in Dublin last september and this image sends me back in Ireland. I had good craic there!

Regards,
Fernando.
