Frequently Asked Questions

What phone photo settings reliably improve shots of lights in Swords?

Use Night mode, tap-hold to lock focus/exposure, and brace elbows on a rail. Shoot during the first 30 minutes after dusk for a deep blue sky. Avoid standing directly under bright fixtures to reduce glare.

How do we avoid bottlenecks at photo spots in Swords light trails?

Hit feature backdrops immediately on entry or circle back during the final 20 minutes. Assign one person to frame the shot while the rest queue, and take two quick photos instead of lengthy retakes.

What's an efficient plan if we only have 45 minutes in Swords?

Pick a single venue and head straight to the signature features. Take photos early, skip the gift shop, and end with a quick warm drink on the way out.
