The Claude Road footbridge in Dublin offers an interesting vantage point for Irish Rail, but comes with its fair share of challenges.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a location on an S-bend, which is a good thing, but also a visual puzzle, calling for the optimal lens-camera combination to yield satisfactory results.<\/p>\n

I like the location because of the old mill in the distance to the west, and the views of Croke Park stadium to the east that offer distinctive location identification.<\/p>\n

High railings at the center part of the footbridge can make it difficult for me to obtain the perfect angle, without aid of a footstool or tilting rear camera display.<\/p>\n

I made these views on a sunny morning with my FujiFilm X-T1 with 18-135mm lens. The Fuji\u2019s adjustable rear display allows me to hold the camera at arm\u2019s length over the bridge railing..<\/p>\n
