But it turns out to have been a very good afternoon's sightseeing in the city, covering several miles.
As we explored the leafy avenues and graffiti-covered lanes in Dublin we went through some of the goals of photography - capturing and recording your travels, creating artworks and telling a story; as well as covering some of the technical aspects such as choice of aperture, keeping an appropriate shutter speed and use of white balance settings.
Photography is often a personal pursuit, and that is why Panoramic Ireland's private one-on-one photography classes / tours / workshops and small group holidays are perfect for the photographer who wants to learn more about their camera or personal vision as an artist.
