Night photos

I took these photos at night, the same time as the previous ones. Too bad I didn’t have my tele lens with me, I could take more detailed photos, but I like what I have anyway )

Usual disclaimer: yes, streets are that yellow for real.

The office building on the first photo is the one I see the most often in Ireland. Not from that side though, it was good to stop on the hill and see it from there.

The building on the third photo is the Elysian tower, and it is the tallest building in Ireland.

The pub on the last photo is not in Cork actually, its in Bishopstown, which is just few minutes drive from Cork. I didn’t go inside, but it must look really good – through the windows you can see wooden stairs and decorations. Some day I will definitely have a pint there.

It’s really hard to take night photos in Cork. When you are out there on the streets it starts to look normal, that everything is yellow and orange around you (because of the yellow street lights). But then you look at the ready pictures and you are like “omg what the hell is wrong with the white balance”.

Just trust me on that, ok? It is that yellow in real life as well, it doesn’t make a lot of sense trying to fix in afterwards – Cork is yellow and orange and night, and I like it.

It’s good to have a car to drive around at night… I could take the tripod, all the lenses I wanted, small necessary things like a remote, spare battery (which I had to use), filters. I liked it )

Cork is very beautiful in the evening. Yellow streetlights, red heating lamps in the bars, lighting on some buildings. I’ve already posted few pictures of that evening here, so now I’m posting the rest.

I was very brave that night, took my tripod and went out alone. Was really great, I should do that more often, maybe not alone though. On Saturday night the city center turns into one huge party, and just for the sake of safety would be nice to have someone accompanying.

i really enjoyed taking photos that night, even though I wish I caught the heavy fog that I saw in Blackpool on the way home. I will try it next time, the fog here is great, you can’t see anything in 20 meters around sometimes.
