I wonder what is different in the lenses used. In your present day shot Joe the left wall of the pub seems to be sloped. [I presume that it is a pub :)]

Converging verticals,Oudies,caused by the lampost the camera was leant against with it being dark.Possibly the city engeneers u.sed a plate camera with a rising front

Leaning and lamp-post in the same sentence Joe, how Lancastrian of you. ;)

Even more so when you realise he was playing a ukelele while taking the photograph.

Jamie Oliver's restaurant, Paradise st.

I took the photo side on - there were people seated near by the window and they were looking out. It would have been rude to take photos of diners :)

John Lennon moument. L1

[Oudeis]

As monuments go this is , as you say Lindy, an L of a 1. ;)

[ChrisGeorge]

I'd love to say the John Lennon monument is growing on me but I still have ambivalent feelings. It's at least interesting. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4041/4405853211_9941c08c0d_o.gif

Thanks folks. Used to do a lot of stuff like this when I was younger,we called it candid photography then

[Samsette]

The lighting, on the girl's face, as well as on the picture-taker's hands and back, make this photo what it is - just lovely.

If the sea were sand, as could easily be imagined, we would then have a photograph of the ruins of some city of antiquity, Ur or Babylon. Magic. :)

Nobody has started a "Picture Of The Night",thread. ;) did you rob this from Mart? he tried to fool us with his pic of the moon...he stuck a bog roll over the lense and photographed a damp concrete floor. :)

Roll on the Olympics

[Johnny Robbo]

Chris,
Nice shot of the fine former Harrison Line HQ. I walked past the building one night just before Christmas after a carol service at St Nick's and the frontage was beautifully floodlit. I guess you're back home for a while.
Best wishes
John Robertson

Mist on the Mersey

[Leon]

Oudeis, that's a giant Japanese crab is that. Oudeis right too ;)
'cause it is


The giant spider crab (Macrocheira kaempferi) lives in the Pacific Ocean around Japan. It lives on the ocean floor at depths of up to 300m (1000 feet). It is omnivorous (eats both animals and vegetables) and moves slowly along eating plants, algae and molluscs. It sometimes attaches sponges to its shell as protection against predators such as octopuses. People sometimes eat it, too.
