This new guide is one of my favourite spots; a place called <a href="http://knol.google.com/k/james-ogorman/copy-of-a-photographers-guide-to-north/3ad177bm26mtp/2#view">Vico Baths</a> near the townships of Dalkey and Killiney in County Dublin. This area is incredibly well hidden but boasts dramatic views and is a treasure trove for photographers.James O'Gormanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15268284381880489302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1750687466951483354.post-50483898234905393312009-03-10T16:10:00.009+00:002009-03-12T10:03:55.977+00:00Church Bay, Crosshaven, County CorkSo here we are in March with a new contributor to Ireland. Conal is a student in Cork and has contributed a great guide to <a href="http://knol.google.com/k/conal-thomson/a-photographers-guide-to-church-bay/2up39cabt29j6/1#">Church Bay in Crosshaven, County Cork</a>.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://knol.google.com/k/conal-thomson/a-photographers-guide-to-church-bay/2up39cabt29j6/1#"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 500px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3368/3301782830_0ec163ce18.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></div>Conal's work further illustrates that Ireland has a wealth of locations for the seascape photographer. Please take the time to read the <a href="http://knol.google.com/k/conal-thomson/a-photographers-guide-to-church-bay/2up39cabt29j6/1#">article</a> and welcome Conal.<br /><br />Don't forget, ANYONE can contribute, please read the <a href="http://freephotoguides.blogspot.com/2008/10/contributing.html">guide to contributing</a> to learn how you can get involved.James O'Gormanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15268284381880489302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1750687466951483354.post-6983657702865758152009-01-09T17:41:00.003+00:002009-03-12T10:02:49.908+00:00Killiney Bay, County DublinI travel a great deal both for work and for pleasure. It has been difficult to find a good source of guides aimed at the photographers of this world. More often than not I don't have much time to explore when I travel to explore randomly and seek out photographic opportunities. With this in mind I was delighted when I saw some fellow Flickr members getting involved in the Free Photo Guides project. I quickly volunteered to be the Irish administrator.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://knol.google.com/k/james-ogorman/a-photographers-guide-to-north-killiney/3ad177bm26mtp/1#" title="Killiney Bay, Dublin, Ireland by jogorman, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3082/2720603784_9e3a881946.jpg" alt="Killiney Bay, Dublin, Ireland" width="500" height="320" /></a><br /></div><br />So it is now January and less than a month after first discovering the site I have the first location guide up (<a href="http://knol.google.com/k/james-ogorman/a-photographers-guide-to-north-killiney/3ad177bm26mtp/1#">North Killiney Bay Beach - Dublin</a>) and another on the way next week hopefully. Enjoy!<br /><br />Remember; Free Photo Guides Ireland needs you!
