A Belfast DJ is trying to find the couple who wandered into his photo of a Cathedral Quarter hotspot and perfectly rounded out the picture.
Sam Baker was near Commercial Court last night when he said he stopped to try and capture the buzz of Saturday evening.
"I DJ in Belfast so I never really get to see the outsides of a Saturday night but I had a night off last night," he said.

"We were out at Common Market and made our way round then to The National and we were walking past and there was a bit of buzz in that alleyway so I thought there's a lovely photo, I'll take that.
"I was just taking photos and the couple literally just walked right through the frame so I hit it twice.
"To be fair, I could have got better photos if I'd been concentrating, because the camera is pointing up the way if you look at it.
"I actually take photos in my spare time and I've never taken a nicer photo just off a whim, it wouldn't have worked if I'd tried to set that up, it's typical!".
Sam said he had some experience of trying to find couples in one of his photos before, but hoped that he would have a bit more luck this time.
"I remember during the lockdowns, I took a photo of an older couple in Hillsborough and they're walking down through the forest and there's a lovely sunset and I got that framed," he said.
"I could never find that couple so with this one I thought I'd stick it out on Twitter and see if I could get a b it more joy with this one.
"It'd be so cool if I was able to give them the photo.
"I never post photos on Twitter because the interaction's not great, with everything changing to videos and reels and that, so it's nice to see the interaction with a picture."
He said it was great to see such a positive picture of Belfast getting people talking.
"People were commenting about spots to go in Belfast and all, so it's nice to see," he added.
"I was going to actually caption it that it was nice to see a bit of life and love in Belfast, but didn't want to get too soppy.
"I'd just love to give them the photo and they can do whatever they want with it."
