Hope you didn't upset the posh lot in the flats alongside.... I hear they have been dissenting to such vulgar festivities at Chavasse Park! :P

SATURDAY 18TH DECEMBER 2010

The rear of the Municipals buildings taken last saturday on my shopping jaunt to the city centre. Faced with plain brick, it isn't as ornate as the frontage as it was once hidden by a substantial building which was bombed during WWII. You can just make out the blue Christmas lights on the sparse branches of the trees.

Naaaa, can't really get lost walking in a straight line. Did check with someone that I was going the right way to the Radisson just to stop our foreign visitor that I was leading him up a dark alley

It wasn't that cold to be honest, although my hands has developed some chillblanes this last month. I only took it on my phone camera which I've found out isn't really that good :(

[GeorgePorgie]

Whats chillblanes? :rolleyes:

[scouse smurf]

Well whatever they are, they hurt :p

[GeorgePorgie]

They might have been chillblains in which case go and see the quack.

[scouse smurf]

yeah, I looked up the spelling. Not something I actually needed to spell when I was a youngster ;) They're not that bad really, so just gotta keep me hands warm and lubricated lol

[GeorgePorgie]

The cold exposure damages capillary beds in the skin, which in turn can cause redness, itching, blisters, and inflammation.[2] Chilblains are often idiopathic in origin but can be manifestations of serious medical conditions that need to be investigated. Chilblains can be prevented by keeping the feet and hands warm in cold weather. A history of chilblains is suggestive of a connective tissue disease.

oh well, I'm gonna die lol

What's that song, the hypercondriac's anthem?

You can get it if you really want it. ;)

[GeorgePorgie]

Don't be silly....the worst senario is your fingers will drop off...keep themin your pocket by yer best mate.

I always rub me nose frequently in cold weather stops me gettin a cold...cos thats where the cold eminates from at the start.

Thanks, Ged. There's a 1930s view of the Throstles Nest pub on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/traphill/4757494863/). Interesting to see the different look to the outside of the pub back then.

Lime Street railway station of the night.

[Ged]

Wow. That's some wide angled lens innit. Tripod jobby as well was it. All my night shots are blurred :)

Cracking shot. Love the colours and the windows of the old railway hotel. The blue tint from the screen and the Adelphi sign is so clear.

[A.D.W]

All my night shots are blurred :)

No tripod? Try a little bean-bag, Ged.

[Ged]

A bean bag, i'm not carrying that around with me - how little. People won't think i'm a down and out will they, looking for a doorway along Limey?

[A.D.W]

I carry one that fits nice and snug in my hand. But I have BIG hands........

[Leon]

Wow. That's some wide angled lens innit. Tripod jobby as well was it.
Thank you! I don't use tripod, just leaned my back against the wall.

[GeorgePorgie]

Bean bags,Resting back against wall sometimes there you can't do this.

The only solution is a Monopod,easy to carry around and its lightweight.

Tsk! ametuers. :)

[A.D.W]

You can put a little bean bag in your pocket but thee can't do the same with a monopod.

[az_gila]

Sometimes setting a short delay (2 seconds or so) and holding your breath will work.

This way the movement of the camera doesn't affect the shot when you press the button....:)
