Though reminiscent of an event in an exotic, faraway place, Neil O'Carroll's winning image in Grade C in our recent 'Festive' competition was, in fact, shot in Dublin Zoo! This was Neil's first appearance on the podium and to take first place was a fantastic achievement. This is how he made the shot:
The photo was taken at Dublin Zoo Christmas Chinese Lantern Display on December 13, 2017.
(Display was open every night from 5.30pm to 9pm commenced in late November until 6th January. It is planned to return again for Christmas 2018)
Camera used--Canon EOS 70D – handheld.
1/50 sec; f4.5; 35mm; iso500.
Minimal post editing -- slight cropping & removal stray lights in the background.
- Neil O'Carroll
Well done Neil!
