The new Printmaking Workshop in Grangegorman was shortlisted for the Institute of Designers Ireland awards.
The single storey steel framed building was designed by Scullion Architects in association with Plus Architecture and details a saw-tooth profile roof structure with integrated windows at each section and roof solar panels. The light filled internal space provides teaching and technical support spaces associated with print making and screen printing for the Technological University Dublin’s School of Creative Arts.
Today [29 August 2022] I used a Canon 5DIII coupled with a Sigma 24-105 F4 lens and when I imported the images into Lightroom I was surprised by the amount of lens barrel distortion but it was easy to correct. I checked some reviews and some mention that barrel distort is high at 24mm.
The first good camera that I purchased was the Canon 5D and to the best of my knowledge it was delivered in January 2006. Before that I had a Sigma DSLR and it was a disaster.
Today my dealer contacted me to inform me that a customer wished to trade in a Canon 5D III that was never used [it was a prize] because he was a Fuji user. I had a look at the camera today and it looked brand new so I purchased it at a very good price on condition that a GPS unit was included [the GPS is due to arrive later this week].
