Good night shot. I really like the blurred figures, mixed with the still figures. It adds that 4th dimension (time) to photos that are usually just one instant in time. The expures is good. I notice that it was shot on film, which burns in the highlights gracefully, unlike digital, which can have horrible prblems with blooming. Good work!

Hi Todd,
I like the variation in the ghosts in this shot, there are some very interesting effects. The colour of the pub works really well for a low light level picture and the dampness brings out the detail of the cobbles nicely.

Excellent image, Todd. The mood of Dublin is captured well with brick lined pub, cobble stone streets, alleyway with dark shadows, bicycles, and ghosts of Dublin. Well done.

A very good one, Todd!
Quite long exposure here produced some nice motion effect on different spots. Good clarity and contrast to it. Colours well saturated.
It almost looks like as if it was taken at daylight and the sky was blackened in pp-ing. Therefore I would personally prefer it exposed a little bit less.
Have a good day,
Robi
PS. I like notes like this one! Very helpful for understanding results presented above them!

Hi Todd,

What a pub ! I like the way this picture show us bricks and pavement as if it was the same material. Moreover I think, that I have seen that very pub in a magazine lately...The name is "Today" or something (but I'm not really sure).
I would have liked to see the roof and less pavement. Anyway, it is a good shot.

By the way, did you paint the town red ?

Regards

nice night shot, I like the ghost going through the image, and the atmosphere of this street. good lighting, sharpness and pov. I remember this pub being red, but it looks pink here. maybe it's just my monitor.

Very nice detail and lighting for this shot. The motion blur is effective in giving the scene a feel of the busy nightlife that goes on here. Cheers.

Hi Todd,
I love these old and richly decorated pubs, british or irish, using the good lighting of this one you got a very nice night photo, the ghosted people add some motion feeling, nice result !
Have a nice day,

This is real nice Todd, looks like a theater set: I like the colors and the ghostly look of the silhouettes which have
moved a little during your slow exposure.
I wish the sky was not completely black
and perhaps the guy at the left not so close to the border, but it is nice as it is too. Izzet Keribar

hi Todd,
I think it is very clear and motion blurs came out beautiful because of that..lovely colors and composition as well..
Dublin is a city I want to see so much..thanks for the picture :)

Voici une très belle photo de nuit. Malgré une longue exposition les parties fixes sont très nettes et les flous donnent du mouvement dans cette image. Merci pour le partage. Gérard

Nice mood you caught. Would be good if one of these translucent figures were somehow more prominent in the composition.

Hey Todd,
I like the colours here, the Temple Bar's exterior, how lighting played a big role to enchance its facade. I was never good in "motion" blur though this gave me an idea that something should be seen besides the motion going on...good details are also seen in the cobbled steet scene. Cozy image!
I'll drink to this!
Cheers!
