A mono rendition of the world on fire shot from the muddy boots session last year.


Ripples of water and sand catching the light.

Thanks for looking.

Another from the moody boots folder archive, I've reprocessed this one, pushing it somewhat, see what you think.

A quick shot of a pair of my anaglyph 3D glasses, with the filtered light falling on a piece of gallerie gold fibre silk baryta paper, which annoyingly I managed to print an email on, an annoying mistake, but anyway I digress.


Today I noticed passing 750,000 views on flickr, thanks for passing by once more.

World on fire (I dont want to set the), Crosby.

World on fire (I dont want to set the), Crosby. HSS, a photo by Ianmoran1970 on Flickr.

A reprocessed and rebalanced shot from the muddy boot session archives.

I wanted to change the colour balance, but I've also tweaked curves and done a little dodging, no doubt over the top, but on my monitor it looked kind of interesting and has some added drama, which I tend to like, see what you think..

Big ship sails into the river Mersey watched over by the Ironmen of Crosby

Big ship sails into the river Mersey watched over by the Ironmen of Crosby, a photo by Ianmoran1970 on Flickr.

In shot is the 22,000 tonne Panama registered cargo vessel 'Sv Nikolay'.
Don’t really know if you would describe this as a big ship... but I would, it did look to be large and lightly laden riding high in the water, the pooled water left by the leaving tide, left a mirrored surface for reflection, and the Ironmen looked on as to greet the ship into the river Mersey.
I quite liked the painted feel to the cloud backdrop here, I think these would have been perfect light and conditions to have seen tall ships in, oh well the less romantic bulk cargo ship will have to do.

If you want to track ships, this makes it easy, you can see where this ship is now, and what its doing...

Steps, Liverpool

Steps, Liverpool, a photo by Ianmoran1970 on Flickr.

Shot of steps outside the Liverpool Echo arena taken from the Liverpool Wheel, I like wheels but have to admit to feeling a little uneasy about looking down from heights like this.

I quite like the patterns made by the paving here, I think it had been damp but drying in the sun which also helps the texture, I had a few with people in shot which adds interest, but this one keeps it simple.


Kind of a high altitude abstract.



And once again I got through that without mentioning my Entry in the Manfrotto comp :)

Washed up, Crosby.

Washed up, Crosby., a photo by Ianmoran1970 on Flickr.

In the process of being washed up on Crosby beach, a Jelly fish and the receding wave that is leaving him high and dry.

It’s amazing how many jelly fish are left on the beach, usually in groups which makes me think that there are whole multigenerational families that have all ended up snuffed out on the beach having caught the wrong wave, but that kind of seems odd in some respects, I’m sure I read they have no brains, but in which case I expect they didn’t see this coming.
