Widnes, Merseyside

Posted by
Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 22 December 2008 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

A dawn photo from the town of Widnes which is located on the banks of the River Mersey near Liverpool.

In the background you can see the power station at Fiddlers Ferry which has featured in many of my photographs over the past 12 months.

.

I want to sincerely thank you for all the lovely comments you've left for me on my photos here over the last year....I really appreciate the support. It's one of the main things that keeps me striving to improve my photography.

I'm taking a break now from Aminus3 over the Christmas holiday period and I look forward to seeing all your photos again in the new year.

All the best,

Ian

@Suzanne: Thanks Suzanne....I recently started using Nikon's own proprietary software, Capture NX2, to process my Nikon Raw files which has made a lot of difference to them.

That's some of the most beautiful light I've seen in a long time. It permeates the entire image. Love your high perspective, too. Makes and almost epic image.
