The view from Dublin\u2019s St. Stephen\u2019s Green Shopping Plaza\u00a0 The Food Village<\/em>\u00a0 food court is among the best vistas to picture LUAS trams in the city centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This offers an elevated view of the St Stephens Green prominently featuring the Fusiliers Arch on the Grafton Street side of the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like the view because it was featured on an early 19th<\/sup> century hand-tinted postcard the also included trams, albeit those of the previous lineage. (The Dublin city centre was without trams from the 1940s until 2004 when LUAS commenced operations).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The S-bend in the tram route seen here was opened as part of the Cross City Green Line extension a couple of years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other day I met fellow photographer Mark Healy for serious image making discussion over a cup of tea while waiting to photograph some of the LUAS advertising trams that now prowl the Green Line route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I exposed these photos using my Lumix LX7. The challenge of this location is obtaining a satisfactory image through the window glass. I used a very wide aperture, which offers low depth of field to minimize the effect of the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
