Urban Workshop in Liverpool

A couple of weekends ago Pixsmiths went to an urban workshop in Liverpool, arranged by Welshot Imaging and by Willliam Cheung FRPS a  former editor of Photography Monthly magazine, one of the UK’s leading imaging magazines.  It was a cold day but the rain managed to keep off.so that was a blessing..

We were a smallish group so all had opportunity throughout the day to ask questions of Will and get his expertise on setting white balance and settings etc...He also showed a slideshow of shots he had taken the previous day on a shouting visit.   We started off at the Albert dock and headed off for the cathedral.  The warden at the cathedral was alos a keen photographer and kindly allowed the group access to to the balcony for shots down the isle. Afterwards it was back down to the Albert docks and for some lunch at the Pump House. Afterwards more photography around the docks and over to Liverpool One as the light was setting - loads of photographic opportunities here.  Some of us went on the big wheel to get some unique shots of  Liverpool.  By then the light was really going so tripods and long exposures wew the order of the day.  It was back to the Albert Docks for some nighttime reflections.It was a long day and boy did the back ache the next day - really do need a lighter tripod with a carrying strap!  but thank you to Welshot and William for the event.  Below are just a few of the images taken on the shoot.
