No matter what I do, night time shots still look poor. Never mind. Took a couple tonite and had ideas of having a little snap-fest of local land marks lit up. However, everything was in darkness tonite apart from Paddy's Wigwam.

Did some cleaning on a couple or so images though.

The story behind this pic is a laugh. It was April 2003 and I was mooching around St George's Hall and Wm Brown St taking pics, when a load of people started coming out of St George's Hall. I used to hate having people in my pics, so I was hanging around, camera in hand, waiting for them to dissapear when I heard the clip clop of hooves behind me. I had a brief bad acid flash and thought it was one of my old girlfriends, but soon realised it was Liverpool Mounted Police. They asked me why I was taking shots of the people departing from St George's Hall. I just laughed (but very annoyed) and asked what the f**k it had to do with them. It turned out that the crowd departing from St George's Hall were attending an anti Gulf War meeting. I calmed down, explained who I was and showed them the pics on my camera. I then jokingly demanded that I be allowed to take shots of them. They were great. By chance, I bumped into the guy on the right a year later.

Did you get stopped by police for taking pics of the mersey tunnel by there like I did?

He told me it was against regulations to do that.

He reckoned it was a stupid rule anyway.

Did you get stopped by police for taking pics of the mersey tunnel by there like I did?

Just the once. He was almost embarrassed telling me. He asked me if I had a zoom, winked and suggested I take the same pic a little further away. Nice guy:)

Yeah there sound when they talk to you about it.

Was Nightime though for me to zoom.

I got a night one on one night when they must of not notice me to do anything but still wondering if it's good enough to put up as I'm not sure about the pixels.

I forgot all about that second pic. Thanks. Yes, he remembered me by my camera. I was taking a pic of St John's Beacon in nearby Richmond Row when he saw me and stopped to say "hi"

Beautiful pic of Liverpool once again, the bizzie pics aren't bad either :celb (23):

http://www.forties-design.co.uk/photos/mb2.jpg

Jesus, thats :eek: . How did you get up martins bank building roof? Did 'they' just let you up? Or are you one of them psycho spidermen climbing cranes and such?

No one let me, but if you look at the back of the building it's obvious ;)

I was scared there might be sensors or alarms guarding the roof, but obviously the bank can't envisage prospective raiders abseiling in from black helicopters, and so I didn't get caught! There'd probably be a big fuss if they'd found me up there, and perhaps I'd have branded a 'prankster' or 'mindless idiot' or something, but it was totally safe. The way I saw it, I couldn't resist seeing the view from up there... it's a beautiful scene, it's perfectly quiet and I can take night photos at my leisure without some leering drunk or scally mob trying to attack me. The nice thing about all the regeneration in the city is that these opportunities come and go, so there's often something new to try.

This one was from the top of the Unity Towers site last February. Doesn't really compare to the bank one as my camera then didn't allow long exposures...

I have another panoramic one...

Thanks Dave and Kev.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Still choosing what other ones

to put up too.

Snappel, how do you get into these buildings so easily?

It wasn't a building, and it wasn't easy!! I suppose I worked up from it ever since hopping a fence to take a leak once or twice on the way home from a

night out. You just have to be stealthy and stupid I think!

Next time you go out, you should try and do a panoramic pictures - they're loads of fun.

If you've got a tripod, then take a series of photos that overlap, then download Autostitch (it's free) and it'll stick them all together.

I was impressed that you got on the cranes in paradise street!

Ain't got a tripod

though.

I never did the

Paradise cranes! So far they're the ones I'm most nervous of trying - there are always people working in there, and it's lit up. Still, a mate of mine did

one after a night out on the piss... not a good idea!

I'd recommend getting a tripod - opens up lots of possibilities if your camera will let you do

long exposures.

Yeah, I got a proper Camera as well as my phone one that does better long exposures.

Would be great to go up those

cranes.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Got some ones, I'll upload

later.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Want to resize them to about 800 x 600 maximum.

The Pixels show too much when there too big.

Yes, resizing the pictures makes them look a bit better - I go

right down to 480 x 319 as it makes them easier to see on smaller monitors.

Managed to get some photos today at Princes Dock - I'll upload them

later. Probably the first time I've ever taken any in the twilight - got some interesting effects, as it's dark with lights on, but the sky is still

prominent...

I feel like killing when I see so many purple pixels on the pictures despite

the camera I'm using to be good one.

I did the Thistle Hotel again and get great results on taking that every

time.

Max, what camera have you got? Can you

alter the exposure time and ISO? Having a large ISO (800 or above) can cause 'noise' in your pictures. Not so obvious when you resize them, but it can be

annoying!

I tried some HDR manipulation yesterday. I took five shots of the same scene at five different exposures and used Photomatrix (visit

hdrsoft.com). Came out all right, but I think I need to investigate 'tone mapping' to get better

effects...

http://www.forties-design.co.uk/photos/princesdock/dock.jpg

The rest are exposures of around 3 seconds,

with an aperture of about F9 - F11. They're ok, but I wanted the sky a bit lighter - I think I'm going to go back soon and try each one with the same

effects as the first pictures above, and see how they come

out.

Spot on Snappel, many thanks. I'll try night shots with my new camera

soon.

Have youse heard yourselves ? ... You bunch of David Baileys yers :D

Kev - your camera has a noise

reduction feature. Try taking some pictures on ISO 1000. Higher ISO means the camera (or film) is more sensitive to the light, so at night this can help

produce brighter images.

I think the best thing to do is go out for an evening and play around with the camera settings - it's what I tend to do, and

then try and remember what works best.

That camera is knackered, I (my son) damaged it a few weeks

ago, he dropped it onto the lens whilst he had turned it on, poor lad wants to be like his dad, he's 3.

Anyway, the focus wouldn't work, the zoom was

broke and over the weekend, it stoppped the starting up process so the lenses don't even come out of the camera body and it shuts down, so back to comet it

went.

Cheeky woman behind the service desk was like, 'oh eye, which cowboy has dropped this' and I denied I had ever dropped it. So I won't pay for it

to be fixed and it looks like they won't do it for nothing.

So a new camera should be on its way.

If

you're looking to buy a new camera, I rate the Fuji Finepix S5600. Has lots of good features, and allows you to play with aperture and shutter speed

settings, up to about 15 seconds which allows for good night stuff. Only £150 now at John Lewis, which is about half what I paid a couple of years ago for

the old S5000 which was far insuperior. Only downside is that it isn't a compact, and so is more cumbersome to carry about.

Thanks but actually gone for

this sony

one (http://www.sony.co.uk/view/ShowProduct.action?product=DSC-H2&site=odw_en_GB&pageType=Overview&category=DPH+Digital+Still+Cameras). I wanted to continue to use the 2GB memory card I had just bought for the other one.

so they are fantastic! Most of the HDR pics I've seen until these are crap, in my humble opinion. You've converted me!:celb (6):

Only the first one Dave - the rest my camera did the work! I just set it to a 3s/F10

and pressed the shutter button! Pete Carr is the man for HDR, his stuff is awesome. I think I need to invest in some proper software...

Kev - that

looks just as good, if not better. You've got a good range of features there, and it's not too big and bulky. Nice to see you can do 30 second exposures -

lots of fun with light trails, etc, to be had there!

Sorry:Colorz_Grey_PDT_16:

Sometimes HDR photos don't look that strange - others are a bit bizarre. It's something I want to spend more time playing about with. None of the ones

I've tried in full daylight have worked very well.

They all look like somebody's been farting around

My Iso doesn't go higher than 400.

It's a Fujifilm Finepix 6800zoom.

Think I'll get a new one

around Christmas, but this ones great.

Buying a tripod for it tomorrow.:PDT_Piratz_26:

A good tripod is the Velbon CX Mini, available in Jessops for £19.99.

Quite small and very durable.

Your camera's not bad Max. If you sit the camera on a tripod and set the shutter speed to 3" (3 seconds), then you'll

get the maximum amount of light into the camera for the photo. If it has a manual ('M') mode, you should be able to change the apertures as well, right

down to F2.8, which means even more light into the camera.

hi heres

very smart Fergo

Looks good,

photograph it while you can! Not how long it's going to be there for - anyone know? Also, I spotted ladders going up to the centre of the wheel, but I think

I might get told off if I try that...

The

All your photos are good.

Had the two cathedral pics since October but couldn't decide whether to upload them even with sharpening, resizing and noise reduction.

My camera rocks, probably a 2002 or 3 model but 6 mega pixels.

Evil dad robbed it for France though and I have to go and collect it! :mad:

I think it was at least 18 months ago. I'm noticing you're getting a bit of flare from other lights in your shot. If you can get a lens hood or just hold your hand near it to block out the flare.

A few from last week. The Thorntons one made me laugh. I have a feeble sense of humour:unibrow:

Surely you must rest it on something? I can't believe you hand hold for 15 seconds. It would easily show camera shake.

It's the perfect site for a 50-storey tower block!
It's right next to the highest spot in Toxteth.

Er...Max! Cat litter is NOT for eating.

:shock:

I'd rather have Tesco.

Sorry but that's the nightmare scenario Phil.

I'd rather have Park Road/Kenny Road/Wavertree Rd lined with the premises of 24hour local or grocers, butchers and fishmongers, selling fresh food at about HALF the price of the corporates myself. And in case anyone thinks that's wishful thinking you want to research what's happening in my North London high street where the incumbant Turkish community actually COOK and demand groceries around the clock at rock bottom prices. I can get 5/6 full bags or two weeks worth of fruit and veg at 2pm or 2am for around £12-14. You just couldn't do that in Liverpool a bit to do with lack of demand too which is a real shame. You got the 'Tesco takeover' laying waste to vast tracts of urban high street and charging it's customers a premium to do so.

In Stoke Newington here, the only use most people have for our one supermarket (it's a Morrisons) is to spank it for tinned tomatoes.

Er...Max! Cat litter is NOT for eating.

:shock:


Why not?:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

The Wood chip ones the nicest.:PDT_Piratz_26:

Sorry but that's the nightmare scenario Phil.



I know Tesco are the Big Bad Giant.
I was just saying I prefer them to Somerfield or Kwik Save.

I started my working life in Southport in 1961 for John Irwin, Sons & Co. Ltd, and that was the exact time that Tesco took them over, thereby moving into the North West.

All the supermarkets conspire together to fix their prices, so, apart from "Special Offers", the prices are all about the same.

Most noticeable are their own branded "Value" lines.
And they all go up by the same amount at the same time!
For instance, tinned potatoes went from 19p to 26p. Everywhere.

For years, a cheap tin of corned beef was 39p.
The price has crept up to double that in about 12 months.

Unfortunately, the convenience stores are even more expensive.

Aye.

Thing is for everything other that the canned and processed stuff our convenience stores are actually WAY cheaper than the supermarkets. I can only think it's because of the demand- turkish community etc.

Just one street away where their most of their customers are lazy-arse white middle-class "professionals" the Turkish grocers prices are double.

I'll accept you want a supermarket for things like household gear, biscuits and the tins as the those are the products that tend to be overpriced in the smaller shops.

good idea that. Been meaning to do a compilation of the ever more wacky stuff people adorn their houses with at Christmas.

Millenium madness was the one though. The stuff people erected in their gardens throughout Liverpool that 1999 Xmas got pretty mad. There was this amazing bigger-and-better decoration war all the way up Deverell Road. It demanded a photo compilation but alas I didn't have the means..Once only chance too...

Phil, the Kelby Close pic is probably the most boring night pic ever shown on the internet:) , but that Earle Road one is boss:PDT_Piratz_26:

I'm not sure about this one.

When we used to walk home from town we wouldn't dare walk past Kelby Close for fear of being jumped.

I'm not sure about this one.

Class Max. Fantastic pic mate:PDT_Piratz_26:

walking home to Olive Mount from town after the Casa/Wherever and trying to do do it as fast and as safely as possible is an, ahem, "special" memory I keep with me...

I got followed a 3am once by these two wierd characters in a beaten up Vauxhall Estate (the vehicle!). Spooky as. 30 mins the ordeal lasted for me hiding in entries and jumpin into peoples gardens....grim

Might upload my slaughter house pic next as thats the one I wanted most.

I'll have to go in there sometime.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Just stab the fluckers in the face with your car keys. Works for me. Seriously!

but it was them in the soddin car!!

I was on foot and I lost a shoe jumpin in and out of alleyways.

I was well wierd like. A bit like Spielberg's 'Duel' where he gets followed by some freak you never see in that truck.

Everything was quiet all around.

Errrrm, in that case, run like shiite:)

one of the scarier things about the episode was they weren't young scallies on the rob or anything they were a pair of middle aged meffs like the ones who you see operating funfair rides and stuff (no offence to law abiding travellers etc etc)

I was trapped too. Had to knock on a door for some people to call the bizzies eventually- I was only 19 and we quite didn't have mobiles then..

@Max - you should have your own site mate: www.maxpictorial.com

If all else fails, bunch up your keys with a key sticking out of your fist. Your first smack will usually disable the clunt(s). If not, you'll get a kicking anyway. Tough Shiite! That's how it goes:PDT_Xtremez_12:

Really enjoyed looking at the brilliant pictures on this thread. Thanks to all the photographers for sharing their considerable talent with us.

Max and Scouserdave, your night time pics are fantastic! :nod:

I'm considering this pic.
I got the originals to play with still.:)

Cheaper to do a Flickr pro instead and advertise it on my myspace.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

I started my working life in Southport in 1961 for John Irwin, Sons & Co. Ltd, and that was the exact time that Tesco took them over, thereby moving into the North West.


There was an Irwins in Mill St, and Tesco opened up - a double fronted shop. Large grocery shops were not heard of in those days, only department stores were large. Z Cars filmed a scene outside the Tesco. One scene where a man was running into the shop (robber) - each time they rehersed a local dog kept jumping in and barking. They left it in.

So a man ran into Tescos to rob it and the dog gave him away, jumping up and barking like hell - and he still manged to rob it.

Have my doubts about this one too.

I like it, Max.
I've said it before, please yourself first, and if you're happy, that's great.
We can't please everybody all the time.

Not bad Max. How's the new tripod? Sounds a sizzler! Two spirit levels - very nice indeedy.

Nice pic Max. Is it Arranmore Road? I sound like I know, but I've just checked my A-Z and it's the only street that starts with the letters ARR:unibrow:

Hope Street and Arraad street.

Arraad street is a small alleyway like part off Hope Street.

It looked like it when I saw you take it.:Colorz_Grey_PDT_16:

Good photos Kev. I particularly like the top one. It's a good view from another angle.

My House in the fog last night! It was pea soup out there!!

Jona, I wish I'd taken my camera yesterday when I walked the dog. It was very foggy and spooky where we walked. There was a thick blanket of grey mist across the grass and the trees had that heavy mist dripping from the branches. Very Gothic ! ha,ha.

Kev, nice photos. Is that some sign-writing reflected onto the grass ? (middle pic)

They are lasers that shine from high above onto the ground around Sevvy Park.

Kev those Sefton Parks are fantastic, particularly the first two.

Do you treat them in Photoshop afterwards?

Just spent spent 3 hours putting in an imaginary network of canals throughout Liverpool, marking out what the future boudaries of the city centre are likely to be and then shading in all the areas that'll have be flattened and rebuilt...all on Google Earth!

How did we waste time before all this **** man?! It's worrying!

Going to start jogging again in Sefton Park while the gyms are closed. Greenbank one is open till sunday though.:celb (23):

Great Photos at Medium size Kev.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

I always do noise reduction and resizing for my night images and some sharpening but not sharpening on all them, just the first two I mentioned.

Cheers Max, they do look better as the are, the noise on them is really obvious at biggers izes, any ideas how to reduce it?

No photoshop, just changed settings on the camera, I'm still learning. Thanks for the kind comments!:celb (23):
