Making use of April Evening Light.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Years ago, I noticed that in mid-April the evening sun floods Abbey Street in Dublin with low warm bright light. This only lasts for a few weeks. During the winter, the street is largely shadowed and in summer the evening sun swings too far to the north.<\/p>\n

The other day, I walked along the LUAS Red Line on my way into the City Centre. Where Abbey Street crosses Capel Street there\u2019s a bit of jog in the tracks which allows for an interesting perspective with\u00a0a telephoto lens.<\/p>\n

The 100mm lens allows for moderate compression of the scene and makes use of the jog in the tracks. A 400mm lens will look much\u00a0farther down the street and bring in a hint of Irish Rail’s Loop Line Bridge.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In past years, I\u2019ve worked this spot with some really long lenses. However on this occasion I took a more conservative approach, choosing my Canon 100mm.<\/p>\n

It was a Friday evening so there were lots of people on the street and outbound trams were full with passengers heading home.<\/p>\n
