Dublinia & Christ Church Cathedral

Dublinia and Christ Church Cathedral sit side by side in the heart of medieval Dublin, connected by a striking stone arch bridge that makes for one of the city's most compelling architectural compositions. The two historic stone facades work together naturally, and that covered walkway bridge between them is your primary focal point, so position yourself on Winetavern Street or St Michael's Hill to get both buildings in frame with the bridge as a connecting element. A wide angle lens helps you capture the full scene without having to step too far back, since the surrounding streets are narrow. Overcast days are ideal here as they eliminate harsh shadows on the stonework and bring out the texture in the grey limestone. Early morning gives you the quietest conditions with minimal foot traffic, which helps keep foreground clean for long exposures or careful compositions. (Dublin, Ireland)
