Panoramics - Liverpool Red Dawn Shots







For more information regarding these panoramic images read the post below, please direct any orders vie my email link or main website.

Panoramic Night Shots Liverpool





Panoramic images available for large format printing, night shots of the Liverpool Skyline. It's hard to do these images justice on this blog due to the size & aspect ratio, they are between 6000 and 10000 pixels wide. I will be posting links to view the full size images using the Zoomify display technology, unless i find another way to do it.




In 2008 the Liverpool Skyline was lit by a fantastic firework display, the likes we will probably not see again for a very long time, this was to celebrate the 700 year end of slavery. The end of the year of Culture Capital New Years Eve 2008 there where no Fireworks, no money left? No they decided to put the end of 2008 show on the 10th of January 2009... There was a Firework display but a lot of mist in the air too, so the shots from that display will be posted soon but don't look as impressive as this display.

QE2 Final Dawn in Liverpool 2008







The QE2's final voyage, as she silently slipped into Liverpool for the last time (ok so the first one is the Saga Rose), I was lucky to have spotted this, and later that night I took another panoramic shot with the Mersey Ferry passing for the last time.

In an effort to keep the page fresh & neat, I've updated some old post's with additional images, which have nothing to do with the original post, spot the QE2, the QM2 looks pretty similar.

Liverpool Tall Ships Race 2008





A few images of the Liverpool Skyline from 2008, This was the day of the day of the Tall Ships Race, they don't look much at this size, I will post a link to the full size panoramic & additional shots.



More dawn shots, taken of the Liverpool Skyline 2008. More Liverpool image galleries are posted on the main website here:

It's been a long time since the last update, and now I don't know where to start. It's now the start of 2009 and the world has changed, Liverpool has changed, but is any of it for the better. The hopes for 2008 where dashed like I knew they would be, I have many more images to post, websites to update, but the task seems daunting & a little pointless. But time keeps flowing, the future uncertain, I have to think of something new to do for the coming year & the rest of my life.

People Smugglers



Dark & Brooding Liverpool Skyline, the lighthouse at New Brighton probably has many a tale to tell, a recent batch of photo's had a couple of images that stood out from the rest, so the best have just been uploaded to Flickr.

Pool of Life


A rare shot of the Liverpool Pool of Life, not sure why it's called the pool of life, but I wonder if it has anything to do with all the condoms you see floating in the water :)


But seriously things seem much cleaner these days, and the sand is really there.

New Perspective



"To see the world through a childs eye's"


It's can sometimes be difficult to view things from an alternate pespective, and usually we are forced to look at things through our own eyes, with our own unique perspective on things. Is also hard to see a place in a new light, especially if you have been there before many times, and hard to try to capture a new angle on things for a photograph.

Recently while testing some Fuji NPS 160 film, and various cameras and lenses, I had no choice but to wander around a familiar place, to put the film through its paces, and as serendipity or luck would have it I ended up with a few shots that manage to show New Brighton off in a way I never saw before.

Shades of 9/11 - 5 Years Later - Skyscrapers in Liverpool


Toxic Shock on the wirral

'News Had Just come over, we had Five years, left to cry in'bowie

With the Liverpool Waterfront and Birkenhead Dock's all set for a major new development from Peel Holdings, full of Skyscrapers. It makes you realise we in Liverpool could become more than just a target for tourism. Having an Airport, a Waterfront full of skyscrapers & an oil refinery, all so close to each other. Would make the Liverpool the ideal target for disaffected youths. The recent huge fire at Ellesmere port, looked like a terrorist attack from this angle, the huge cloud of black smoke headed over Chester, probably full of highly toxic fumues, although it looked like an explosion at the oil refinery Stanlow, Ellesmere port, it was just a huge pile of burning rubber???
