As part of this year’s ECO WEEK (31st March – 4th April) in association with South Dublin County Council, Creatschool is delighted to report back on the completion of its first ever Eco Photowalk.

A photowalk (for the uninitiated) is a two/three hour session where participants ranging from complete beginners to budding photographers come along to the Rua Red Arts Centre to learn about some photography theory and then put that theory into practice on a guided walk of the local area. If you are thinking about trying this walk for yourself have a look at the map below.

The location is Sean Walsh Park in Tallaght, Dublin 24. The route for the walk is fairly flat and easy going so take your time and a few pictures. There is no shortage of subject matter for the eco eyed photographer with ponds, a water feature, trees galore much more.

To get there you can we suggest catching a bus or the Luas (last stop on the Red Line) to Rua Red, grab a coffee and tasty snack at the cafe and follow the route above. Then you can have a browse around The Square Shopping centre if you feel the urge before heading home. The Eco Photo Walk is a lovely journey and well worth the effort!

Below are some of the photographs taken on our walk around as well as others which underwent avariety of editing tools and techniques which we learned during the session.
