- 16th March 2005 - Quayside

This is the redeveloped area adjacent to the Ellesmere Port Museum - follow the railings to the nice restaurant (not tried it yet). Snapped it on the way back from a networking meeting at Scottish Power's Hoylake training centre.

If you turn the other way you get a view over the Manchester Ship canal to Stanlow refinery :) romantic eh?!



Also snapped my first bird shot and a few shots along the Hoylake water front. The bird shot was at full zoom and pretty heavily cropped, but I got one!





Finally took this one for the 'green goddess' fan club. Funny how logos become less recognisable when viewed at a different angle. I was early for the meeting so had to do something while sitting in the carpark!!




Nikon Coolpix 8800
2s f/2.8 at 8.9mm iso200 full exif

nice B.W night shot, nicely composed, shame about your shadow, but as said before use your timer & job done.
Nick Clarke01-May-2005 20:49
Very nice night exposure, next time though, put your camera on a timer and your shadow won't be in it! ;)

Great perspective and I like the subtle shadow in the foreground

That should be a popular place when summer arrives, Ian. I like that single lightburst in the darkness.

Lovely mood and perspective. Nice one Ian! Cindy
Guest 17-Mar-2005 15:54
I love this shot. The colour, contrast, lines, everything. Exceedingly well done!

Very nice ... I like the ray of light from the lamp post!
Yvonne17-Mar-2005 11:02
Your quayside shot is really quite magical, wonderful aspect & great in b&w.
Karen Stuebing17-Mar-2005 10:59
Super lighting. Almost surreal. I'm with Gayle. My b/ws never look this good.
Johan Toll17-Mar-2005 06:52

Very nice
Guest 17-Mar-2005 02:07
Nice b&w tone.
Susanne17-Mar-2005 00:25
I love the low perspective in this image and the distance it gives you. The light and darkness give this image a very nice mood. Wonderful black and white as well.
nomadicdragon17-Mar-2005 00:12
I love ..love this b & w shot..
Cliff16-Mar-2005 23:57
What a goldmine of great images! I love the b&w on this one from the low perspective.
Antonis Sarantos16-Mar-2005 23:50
Excellent night scene,
great perspective and composition! I like the B&W!
Gail Davison16-Mar-2005 23:46
Stunning. I like the way the pavement lines lead your eye into the photo and the light from the street lamp leads you across. Excellent shot Ian
Christina Craft16-Mar-2005 23:46
Really beautiful image Ian. I really love the way the lines lead you straight into the image. I love your other work today as well.
René Gysi16-Mar-2005 23:44
Very good perspective. Nice b&w picture.
Guest 16-Mar-2005 23:32
That is really well done!!

This is excellent, Ian.
Gary Blanchette16-Mar-2005 22:45
Oooh, I love the shadow...

All are very nice, Ian!
Gayle P. Clement16-Mar-2005 22:39
A beautiful B&W, Ian. I really struggle with making a good B&W. My tones never look like this.
David Clunas16-Mar-2005 22:30
Great image Ian
jude16-Mar-2005 22:25
Wow, wow, wow, Ian...! Very well done. love the low perspective. the b&w tonal quality and the feel of it.. very moody.. Very nice
Guest 16-Mar-2005 22:19
Can only agree with everyone else - great job on this!
Ric Yates16-Mar-2005 22:18
The flare from the light works really well here - perfect subject for black and white as well.
Josy's Pics16-Mar-2005 22:15
These are really really nice... good job!

Guest 16-Mar-2005 22:11
Very nice! I like the ground-level perspective. The shadow adds a nice touch to it too.
Sheena Woodhead16-Mar-2005 22:03
Ian, this is excellent. I like the low level shooting position and the shafts of light from the lamp. Great perspective with the cobbles and good in B&W.
Zak16-Mar-2005 21:55
cool shot! looks good in b/w!
