It’s been a while since I’ve posted any pictures of the waterfront so I thought that whilst I was on the Wirral I’d take a new one – I actually thought I’d managed to get a shot of the skyline without a crane in sight but closer observation of the full size pic reveals two! I suppose it’s a sign that the city is still growing despite difficult economic times and as such is a good thing – it’d be nice to get just *one* pic without any in though!
Man sneaking cigarette in the rain outside Lime Street station, taken on the same day as the Lime Street Shelter photo on my Liverpool Desktop Wallpaper page - very very wet and very very dark.
Next in the series of images that I've had on my hard drive for a while, this was shot from the 78 bus, late on a sunny crisp October afternoon last year - I much prefer the autumn/winter for shooting as you get longer shadows & more interesting light, as opposed to the British 'summer' which alternates between overcast, very →
This is the first in a series of images that I've kicked around in Aperture for a while - the type of image that you're not sure about for one reason or another - compositionally, post-processing, whatever. One of the tests I do if I'm not sure about an image is the 'wallpaper test' - I set the image as →
The Port of Liverpool building, one of Liverpool's Three Graces.

Taken whilst waiting for the right light to come along for the recent Engineering building England flag shot - it was a lovely evening to be sat on the plaza at the Cathedral, that end of town is so quiet at night time, a total contrast to how busy it is during the day. It would have been nice to →
The Littlewoods building, off Edge Lane. Awesome building, shame it's still empty.
The University of Liverpool's Engineering Department is currently lit up like the St.Georges Cross for the World Cup - it's normally setup to fade through a series of colours. It looks absolutely fantastic - hopefully they'll have reason to leave it on after today - come on England! :)
I noticed this England flag earlier in the week - it's on top of a massive scrap heap on the outskirts of Widnes. Anyone who saw England's first two games might think there's some sort of symbolism involved here but whoever went up there and planted is a braver man than me - I've posted a few pics so you →
Last in the series of off-kilter reflections - I did say they'd all be in black and white but on reflection (arf!) I prefer this one in colour. Also experimenting with a watermark on my images - let me know what you think.
