The Blue Hour in Liverpool Dock Area

On Wednesday, after a morning at West Kirby (images to follow), we moved residence to Liverpool City and had just the hour after the sunset to take some images around the Albert Dock area.

Liverpool Catholic Cathedral and New Brighton Icons

On Monday, after visiting the Library, we paid a quick visit to the Catholic Cathedral. The weather was very dull so, hopefully, we will revisit on a sunny day. We returned to New Brighton and I took a few photos of the Liverpool skyline at dusk, one of the mermaids on their Trail and also of the plaque that celebrates the Foundation of the Guide Dogs for the Blind in 1931

Liverpool Library New and Old

The new library facilities were opened in 2013 - an architectural feast of curves, staircases and circles, complementing the original round Picton Reading room.

Liverpool Day 1

We are spending six days in Liverpool area over the New Year - the first three in New Brighton on the opposite side of the Mersey. Here some images taken in the evening of the Rock Lighthouse, the Liverpool docks, Marine Lake and the Promenade Shelters. It started cloudy but the sky gradually cleared giving some star sightings.

 

Getting the Best from Liverpool Monochromes

I am continuing to process images for new monochrome presentations this year. Below comparisons between straight Raw conversion and Silver Efex Pro processing. the images were taken on infrared-converted camera.
