This proved difficult as you can't see what you take, and, due to pressure of time, I could only do it for about 15 mins this morning. This was my entry which I took outside the Dail (Irish Parliament) entrance before I went into the adjoining National Library to research the time my grandfather's car was machinegunned in 1933. I spotted this well known Irish lensman and it turned out ok when I looked later. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DouglasBray/DublinStreet+11_11_2014_TomBurke.jpg.html Most of the previous shots were terrible, too much sky, headless subjects, etc., and it turned out everyone in the club had the same problem. So I won with this not great shot! This is a little bit about Tom Burke http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/veteran-irish-independent-photographer-tom-burke-vividly-remembers-the-1970-visit-of-president-richard-m-nixon-26734473.html Douglas
