Thought I'd share a few shots I took last weekend in Liverpool. All taken with the K-5 and Tamron 17-50:

I love number 2!
I've been trying to get exactly that shot for a while now, but each time I've been in Liverpool with my camera the weather has been awful.
I never thought of trying it in B&W.
I'm not convinced the horizon is straight in the last one...or are my eyes playing up...again!
All in all a cracking set.
Getting there! Thanks to you guys

A very nice set of shots there, just love the processing and vibrancy of them, first shot for me, super.

I like these

Thanks for the comments chaps! And yes, Ted - I think you are right about the horizon. Good spot.

The third one is what attracts my eye the most, all are well shot, but this one is a little different.

Yes, definitely another great set of shots..wish I could shoot architecture as well as that!! Really like the 3rd but find that out of them all the 1st appeals most mainly because of how the building fills the frame, really strong image I think.

Did you ever get around to selling your work in Chester?

Very nice shots- I find them instantly recognisable as your photographs. You seem to have a common strand of shooting style and processing that runs through your work which is very much to my taste.

John, I really REALLY appreciate your comments. To have a specific 'style' which you recognise as my work, well, that's just brilliant and I can't ask for more.

And Simon - to answer your question, yes I'm having a measure of success selling my Chester work. The most recent of my prints sold were for these two, both were ordered at 40" x 30". Not small at all!

6 of my images are on display in a cafe in Chester with some more at a restaurant in nearby Frodsham. I've also recently done work with a Chester restaurant who wanted photos of their new menu, and I'm the official photographer at a 3 day music festival at the end of the month (really looking forward to that one!) It's all starting to take off a bit. Plus my website went live today too! I still have a day job as an IT Project Manager, but for the first time I'm seriously starting to believe that in a year or so I could be doing this photography lark full time. Exciting times.
