A Cold Picture for a Cold Day
Wednesday, December 15th, 2010It’s bitingly cold again today so I decided to post another picture I took last week when Liverpool was foggy and covered in frost. This one is of the thick frost on a section of the chain fences at the Albert Dock.
Albert Dock in the Fog
Wednesday, December 8th, 2010Sunday night a thick fog descended on Liverpool. By Monday lunchtime it had lifted but I was still able to get some interesting photographs down on the waterfront at Lunchtime. I was surprised how many people were out with their cameras. Normally if I wander down there at lunch time there will be tourists about. […]
Vue Site Maintenance
Tuesday, December 7th, 2010With all of the different flavours of Vue now available I’ve spent a bit of time cleaning up my unofficial Vue News blog. I’ve even tweaked the Vue Squidoo lens although those get so little traffic I’m seriously tempted to knock them on the head.
Vue 9 Sea Monster
Friday, December 3rd, 2010Last night I started messing around with a picture I was messing around with in Vue 7. I was never 100% happy with the lighting of the original. The monster was too visible – I wanted it to be lurking and menacing. Now Vue 9 has the wonderful new relighting feature so I made a […]
Fiddling with Pictures
Thursday, December 2nd, 2010I’ve been fiddling with my pictures pages because it gets quite a lot of visits when there is snow and in the run up to Christmas. I’ve found a jQuery lightbox that doesn’t seem to be cursed with lots of problems with bad paths. I’ve also written a little display plug-in to add a thumbnail […]
British Museum Great Court Roof

The roof was designed by Foster and Partners its an iconic piece of recent architecture. This picture is of part of it around an hour before sunset catching the low, […]

MPI Resolution Docked in Liverpool
Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010I’d gone down to the waterfront to take some photograph today and discovered the MPI Resolution was docked on the Mersey at the cruise liner terminal. If a ship could ever be described as an impressive piece of kit this one has to be in the running to get that description. The six towers are […]
Quiet because Too Many New Toys
Tuesday, November 16th, 2010If it seems like I’ve gone quite quiet here its because I’m playing with new toys. First of all I’ve been getting to grips with Vue 9 Infinite with its excellent new features. Re-lighting is a wonderful enhancement and is a massive time saver for me. Texture resizing is also a massive time saver for […]
