Living less than 1 minute from the River Mersey affords a lot of opportunity for shipping of all shapes and sizes, i mainly capture for recording whats going were but sometimes there is more on offer, VLCC tankers and a lot of Naval visits last year were some of the highlights...

Looks like an interesting place to take photos, you've done well to inject some life into those, in the conditions I can see, looks like rain on the Harrier canopy, good depth on that one.

Great dark colour palette and use of contrast - gives the place a sort of feel...

Welcome pbrstreetgang,

Agree with all the above views and I also like the extra depth and perspective you introduced to the shots...

Thanks for sharing,

BTW, what PP have you used in shot 3? A little HDR, the contrast of the mid-tones seem a little boosted - nicely done though, not overly so.

Cheers guys :o

Shot 3 has been a little HDR`d, the usual conditions round here are what i call "the mersey murk" and sometimes you need all the boost you can get for colour and contrast. My new A200 is running alongside my Fuji S6500fd bridge camera, i dont chase megapixels but like the taking of the pic more than the what i took the pic with, if you can understand that lol.

Pic 3 above was taken while waiting for this ship to come thru the docks...with a little hdr boost!
