At the lights

I went wandering around Liverpool the other night at sunset looking for interesting angles. I’ve never really found a way to take an interesting photo from this side of the Liver Building as the light isn’t really right at sunset but that night it was perfect. I was in an odd mood for fitting odd objects in between buildings and the lights perfect sat in between these two. Naturally some guy shouted something from his car since I was standing at a crazy angle taking what appeared to be a photo of the traffic lights. Such is life. Still, I got a photo I’m happy with so ner.

    I love this, its creative and beautifully processed, think I'll go and have a go at something similar, though I doubt very much that it'll turn out anything like this!!

    I turn at those lights every day. Awesome photo Pete, love the colours.
  • Thank you for not overcooking this HDR shot! Far too many are just hideous but get all the attention somehow. Great angle that creates a towering effect on the buildings.
  • When HDR is done well, it can really add something to a picture. i'm happy to say that this is one of those instances. This shot has a great sense of texture in the stones and the traffic lights make it quite surreal.
  • I take lots of photos for textures for use in my 3D graphics work, and people always look at you funny when you're taking a photo of what is obviously a blank brick wall, or a nice wide shot straight down at the pavement.
  • Really, really interesting angle, lovely photo.
  • Good stuff !
  • Wow, this is fantastic - one of the best HDR images I've seen! Love the dynamic composition too :-)
