MY QUICK WALK FROM HENRIETTA PLACE TO BROADSTONE TRAM STOP

I USED A SIGMA DP1 QUATTRO

I live of Henrietta Street and the nearest tram stop is Broadstone if walk via the park at Kings Inns [the gates are closed at weekends]. However if the park is closed the nearest stop is Lower Dominick Street but for various reasons I prefer not to walk along that street. So, today, I got to Broadstone via Upper Dominick Street.

The Sigma DP1 Quattro, which I used today, is the wide-angle sibling to the DP2 Quattro. Image quality is outstanding [when everything goes right), but it’s slow to use and RAW processing requires much time and effort. In general the camera is unreliable and post-processing is a nightmare.

PHIBSBOROUGH AREA OF DUBLIN

Broadstone is one of the three neighbourhoods that make up present-day Phibsboro in Dublin, Ireland. The most southerly of these, it begins just two kilometres north of Father Mathew Bridge at Ormond Quay. The area is triangular, bounded by Phibsborough Road and Constitution Hill to the West, North Circular Road to the north, and Dorset Street and Bolton Street to the south-east. The postal district for the area is Dublin 7.

Built in 1968, Constitution Hill Flats consists of three five-storey blocks, containing 89 homes in total. The site is located along Constitution Hill, with the recently opened Broadstone Plaza to the north, Catherine Lane North at the southern end, and a Dublin Bus Depot to the west with the Grangegorman TU Dublin campus beyond. The complex also sits in a setting flanked by historic buildings: the Kings Inns and Broadstone Station.
