Liccle bro by the old docks... (not convinced with sepia.. Anyone know how to get it a bit better?

Liverpool seafront... (You can see the building of the owners of the Titanic, Red Star



New Brighton Lighthouse, plus Seaforth dock over the water (Largest container port in Europe, and you can just see the wind powered gennies they use)

Stopped off there today, going from West kirby to bromborough. it's a decent sub, but a bit of an arse to photograph when you haven't a clue what you are doing! The sun was on the 'other side' of the dock, so had to try to shoot it with signs, etc, all blocking the sun. Couldn't stay long, but I would imagine if you could get into the warehouses, there would be lots of cool things to shoot!

Oh, and thanks!

The night time pics are nice. Like the rev and speed dials, prefer the first of the car images but without the hands!

With the daylight ones a good tip on taking pics of any cars inside or out is to remove the tax disc to helps cut out a distraction.

Nice pictures, good to see all of them. Keep posting !

Cheers super. It wasn't a particularly set up shot, just me sat in the back with the tripod wedged in, on the way to my nans. (Had to clear a load of stuff into a skip for her), then did the same on the way back. i was quite happy really! Couldn'ty do those longer exposure shots on my old P&S camera!
