You just have to do it before I had a chance to have lunch, don't you? ;)

This will be a regular Monday issue for you :)

My girlfriend and I are driving a big truck together and she is adapting to cooking with very limited supplies and space. She started up a blog about it and I'm photographing the food. Her food posts go live on Sunday, and my companion post on my blog goes live on Monday. So every Monday I'll be posting the photo here too :)

Well done Alex! IMO, this shot falls in with the fine art photography discussion that has been posted recently.

Do me a favour MacRy, no shots facing up the escalator...people get arrested for that sort of thing and I really don't want to see a series of prison shots. :)

I love this! Great shot fella.

Thanks, MacRy. I loved your industrial looking station from the other day. It was like something from an Asimov novel. Your most recent, of the escalators has great lines and reflections to it.

Thanks, Peter. I still am unable to put a finger on this "fine art" malarky! If I can't define it, I don't get it. So I'm avoiding that conversation. I merely see pictures and generally try not to abuse them too much in my process of capture. :rolleyes:

You've really got all the light sources balanced (not just this pic, but all your recent shots)…

Thanks Doylem. In fact, I think it was a post by your good self on one of these threads on how this type of subject works best when shot at the time around civil twilight, when the ambient and the artificial light are in balance, that got me started on seeing how Dublin would look using this technique.

Your pix would make a great portrait of the city; is that something you've thought about?

I'm working towards completing a photo book - not for publication but just for my own edification. I have a list of about 120 subjects to get through and am about 2/3rds finished. When I started, in September 2012, I intended to collect around a dozen shots of the new quarter of the city growing up around the Docklands but I have since expanded my efforts to all areas of the city and its environs and to include old buildings as well as the new.

I never really felt inspired to take pictures of Dublin until I started out on this project. I work in the city centre so I think it was a case of familiarity breeding contempt. But by focussing in on a specific time - twilight - I have found that I am able to see my home town in, well, a new light. I think that's one of the great joys of photography - like travel, it broadens the mind.

The other side of the port-holes.

I love the way the reflections in the glass at the top of the building give the upper part of the picture an ethereal quality, in contrast to the solid, industrial feel of the portholes at the bottom. Nice shot.

This place may be an over-priced tourist trap but it photographs well:
