Dublin Botanical Gardens are definitely one of my favorite places in Dublin we got to see. There are so many big greenhouses with all kinds of plans. High ceiling greenhouses are the photographer's dream, because the light there is perfect.

After Botanical Gardens we headed out to Guinness Storehouse tour. It was alright, as I am not a fan of beer but still was interesting to see the factory and their process. We got Guinness flavored dark chocolate that I actually liked :)

For these photos I didn’t use 85B filter and metered the film at ISO500.

Coastal Towns of Ireland

On our last day we took a train and got to check a few towns along the coast not far from Dublin.

First destination was Dalkey. A small coastal town with lots of shops, bakeries and nice little streets.

I finished the last roll of Vision3 500T here.

Than I loaded Vision3 250D film, decided to meter it at ISO500 and develop accordingly, but got distracted when processing and forgot to push this film in development. Yet somehow my negatives turned out great anyway. I don’t know what’s the secret behind Vision3 but it always works even when I think I messed it up.

Than we took a train and visited Bray and Greystones. There wasn’t much to see in those towns, but it was golden hour, light was pretty so we still had a nice walk.
