The modern waterfront

1st Nov 2011. The modern Liverpool waterfront with the Museum of Liverpool on the left, the 3 Graces in the middle and the new black granite buildings at Mann Island on the right. Things sure have changed. 8th Dec 2006.

Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia

Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia in Valencia, Spain. Stunning architecture by Santiago Calatrava. If you ever visit Valencia you must go see it.

Macula Spectacular Skyline

Ferry crossing home

I absolutely love getting the ferry across the Mersey at dusk. Its so peaceful because its a fairly empty ferry and its like having your own boat. On this night I wasn’t alone and these people seemed to be enjoying

Newcastle bridges

Newcastle really like their bridges.

Baltic Flour Mill

This was never supposed to work. We were freezing and had lost almost all the blue in the sky by shooting the bridge from yesterday. I turned round and thought “Hey that looks good. I’ll get a quick shot to

Gateshead Millenium Bridge

Had a trip up north yesterday for some interior and architecture photography. Never been to Newcastle but I’ve always wanted to go and see this bridge for myself. We didn’t see that much of the city but what we saw

Palm House in Sefton Park

I’m sure the Palm House lights up. Unfortunately it didn’t appear to while I was there specifically to photograph it lit up at dusk. Still, I like this photo of it but I will be back.

Lonely bench

An empty lonely park bench on a chilly night in Sefton Park. Although it doesn’t look like it I did use HDR here. 7 exposures bracketed, merged and then adjusted in Lightroom. Why use HDR if it doesn’t look like

Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral – II

Touch of HDR used in this as the left hand side was very brightly lit and the right wasn’t so much. Read more on HDR in my tutorial.

Liverpool University Engineering Building – II

Liverpool University Engineering Building

This is a great building. As you can see it lights up in the evening and cycles through the spectrum like a rainbow. I can even see it from the prom in New Brighton. In other news I am currently

Dusk over the Mersey

A lovely large moon rises over Liverpool on the eve of a lunar eclipse.

The Louvre – III

I really really enjoyed playing with this architecture.

Millenium Bridge

Millenium Bridge leading to St Pauls cathedral. You can see more London photos on my portfolio.

The Eiffel Tower in Paris

How could I not get a photo of the Eiffel Tower? There’s an obvious shot that I took during the day, but I wanted something else. I wanted my photo of the Eiffel Tower. You can see other takes on

Sacre-Coeur in Montmartre

Amazingly I had never heard of Sacre-Coeur before. My view of Paris, despite loving both Amelie and Angel-a, was quite narrow. They’re some of my favourite films but I try not to watch them so when my girlfriend pointed out

The Louvre – II

Simply stunning architecture. We didn’t get that much time to really explore as I didn’t want to miss the outside at dusk, and there’s so many angles just outside. Have to go back for another play. I appreciate everyones comments

The Louvre

I recently went to Paris and fell in love with the Louvre. Its simply stunning. Classic architecture mixed with modern in such a graceful way, amazing. So many angles to play with. I ran out of dusk light. Even this
