Poolbeg Chimneys Full Moon - Limited Edition Print

The Poolbeg Chimneys are an iconic part of the Dublin skyline, they can be seen from nearly everywhere in Dublin and far beyond, they are also a beacon for people who are leaving or arriving by plane or boat. This shot very nearly didn't happen. There was only a very specific time about once a year when I knew the Full Moon would line up perfectly, touching both towers, and this view of the chimneys is now obstructed by the incinerator, so it was probably the last chance for this photo.

The weather did not look good at all for getting the shot and I was asked to do another shoot starting a few hours beforehand. As I had given up due to the weather, I went to the other shoot. The shoot went perfectly (and quickly), so I had a quick look on my mobile and realised that the cloud was going to thin out. As I had most of my kit with me, I was going to head for my 'ground zero'. There was quite a rush across town to get to my chosen place, but as I arrived the cloud did thin and I got the picture I wanted. The breaking cloud made the shot even better than I thought it would be!
