The Poolbeg Chimneys are two iconic red and white striped towers rising over 200 meters above Dublin Bay, and they have become one of the city's most recognizable landmarks. You get some of the best views from the South Bull Wall, the long granite pier that stretches out into the bay and points directly toward the chimneys, giving you a natural leading line to work with. Shooting from water level along the wall puts the towers in dramatic perspective against the sky, while a wider composition can include the rippling bay and the Wicklow Mountains in the distance. Golden hour light, either at sunrise or sunset, catches the red stripes and gives the scene a warm glow. A 24-70mm lens handles most compositions well here. The wall is a flat, easy walk but can be exposed and windy, so dress accordingly. (Dublin, Ireland)
