That's the reason I went up the tower,but my camera was'nt good enough to take a picture shooting straight into the sunlight,even standing on the rickety old chair I found at the top of the stairs to hold the door open and shield the lens did'nt help,so thanks for the picture.

Great pics as per usual Davey Boy !!
How the F'n ell do you get that close Dave from St Georges Tower..Thats in Everton isnt it ...
Is your Lens Abarr 8ft Long....Do you need a Transit Van to put it in !!!.
Seriously Dave..What Lens did you use for that Great shot you took of the Liver Building with the Mountains with Snow on the peaks.
And what Camera(s) Do u use if you dont Mind me asking..
Thanks Kev and behave yerself Gerard LOL!:PDT_Piratz_26:
The zoom from Everton is with my old Nikon 8800 and the other two are either an Olympus 8800 or E500. I haven't got the info to hand as these are all copies (originals at the office) and they don't contain the exif data.
Here's one of my recent favourites, the Gladstone, Canada and Bramley Moore entering Langton Lock.

Brilliant Mate,,I want yer autograph..
Seriously..Theres a Few of You on here that take Fantastic Photo's..Are you a professional Dave.
AND..is The Nikon 8800 the full shebang..Or Just the Body..Whats the Lens in mm.
Have u checked out http://www.liverpoolpictorial.co.uk yet?
Gerard, the Nikon 8800 is just a d_amn fine digi camera. It's been discontinued for a while now, same as the Olympus 8080. I'll never swap them though. I've got 6 cameras in all...that's if you count that cheapo Samsung that I bought recently (which I've only ever used to take 10 shots!)
Here's the spec and a review for the 8800
Excellent Kev,I have seen that Pictorial site before,I notice all the Pictures are for sale..Whats to stop anybody right clicking and saving the photo and then printing it..I also know that a Photo advertised on there is not actually as the Photographer claims..I think He's being a bit Naughty to sell it by claiming its something its not...Quote:

I saw your fantastic Beatle related pics recently and noticed your location for the Quarry Men gig was different from my shot. I didn't think too much about it at the time. All I can say is that is where Dave the caretaker who looks after the church and hall said the gig was played and that he was there at the time. Also, Jim O'Donnell who wrote The Day John Met Paul said that was the exact spot when I done some work for him. Me? I haven't a clue. I was just going by what they told me.
BTW Bob Paisley's buried nearby. I wouldn't have known unless Dave the caretaker pointed it out.
Great pic and a great man Gerard, thanks.Quote:

Gerard, they could right click, save them and get them printed, but the quality would look crap. The images you see on websites are 72 dpi whereas they need to be at least 300dpi or 4 x the size. Most of the pics on my website may just about make a half decent quality 3 inch wide pic which is a chance I'm prepared to take.
However, like I wrote a few weeks back, I may start using watermarks after a recent experience of somebody using them for their youtube video without my permission. I also had to ask somebody today (for the second time!) to take my pics off their web page, because they "borrowed" them without giving any credit. Why do people do that?!:PDT_Xtremez_12:
Gerard, Dave the caretaker reckons Paul didn't hang around for the gig. He said they met up in the Hall across the road and apparently John was impressed with Paul after he tuned his guitar for him.
Oh well, I'm off to bed. Speak to yer tomorrow night mate:PDT11
ohhhhhhhhhh! Splendid pictures, young Gerard.

How much more appropriate an exhibit could you get than a submarine that was involved in the Battle of the Atlantic hunting Liverpool ships. If either of these vessels go elsewhere it will be a disgrace and another ridiculouis loss to the city.Quote:

Brings back some old memories of cycling from West Derby Rd to the docks for three monts and praying for deep sea again.

Alright Phredd, I was just down the road from you in Hughes St. Remember this old school building in White Rock St?
http://www.liverpoolpictorial.co.uk/whiterockL6.jpg
Wow = takes me back a long time.
I went to it for a short while then on to Butler street then on to Boaler St.
I also remember the school hall in White Rock next to the school.
Queued up for Free school meals (Mash, stew with lumps of fat and watery cabbage followed by lumpy custard and stemed dough.) on many a holiday.
The food done me no harm lol I am still here.
