This weekend I joined two other experienced photographers and a professional who provided location advice and tuition in the Liverpool area. We were mainly looking for industrial landscapes in preparation for an upcoming competition. The Friday weather was Ok(ish) but lighting was a bit flat. However on the Saturday morning we were treated to some very interesting golden lighting which provided a rapidly changing and developing set of photo opportunities around the New Brighton area. The afternoon was less good but a visit to the cathedral showed some great promise for a future visit. Here is a link to a selection of images from the trip. http://www.tonesshots.com/galleries/mostrecent/liverpool/
Site Layout
The site is partly rebuilt with new components from The Turning Gate. This means that some of the galleries that were on the previous site retain the original navigation and masthead, however the navigation etc still works fine and in time will be updated as changes are required.
Westbury on Severn bell restoration
This series of documentary style images is the third since the project started. The slideshow on the web gallery is intended to tell the story of the bells being returned from factory refurbishment and refitted in the bell tower which itself has been updated and strengthened. Here is the link to the web slideshow. http://www.tonesshots.com/galleries/mostrecent/Westbury%20Bells%203/
A trip to the Lake district October 2011
This is the first trip that I have used my new blog facility to describe and discuss. I have twice before visited the lakes to take pictures but this is the first time since acquiring a really good camera and some excellent lenses. I stayed in the Hydro hotel in Bowness on Windermere which is a fine central location and a nice photographer friendly hotel. The do not have a problem with my going out early and was happy to exchange the breakfast I missed each day with a healthy packed lunch. Also they did not charge me a single person supplement. – more –
