Well, I suppose living opposite one of the most famous watefronts in the world, I just had to try my hand at a panorama.
I'm not too fond of this format, so I'm not really sure how to frame one correctly, but here's my first attempt.
C&C welcome.

The forum 800 pixel maximum makes it very small, but here's the link to the full size.

Impressive Ted, but the water seems to slope up on the left, you must try harder on your second attempt

Like it - it's changed a lot since I was growing up there in the 80's.

Generally I like the lighting but would have been nice to have got a bit more light on the Anglican cathedral. Must be difficult to get a time when the lighting is perfect on all the buildings though

Well done Ted for capturing the beginning of the Mersey tidal bore ..... what ? What do you mean the Mersey doesn't have a bore ?!?

Nice job Ted. Panos of this size aren't easy. Which lens did you use ? The full size version looks impressive - so many changes since I worked in the Custom House (just to the right of the Liver Building). The Liverpool Echo has a new home too.

The Mersey is pretty wide at this point (was this shot from Eastham Ferry ?) and maybe a short tele next time (and ensuring each shot is taken without any vertical movement - which may have caused the 'bore') would give you a better FoV ? Just a thought.

Thanks folks.
Yep, I noticed the bore just after I posted it. A quick correction in CS2 will sort that ( you can see the cathedral is leaning slightly too! ).

It was taken with my 28-80 near to its maximum. I took it from Woodside ferry terminal.
Getting there! Thanks to you guys
