This is what happens to last year's Christmas presents... they end up just downstream from a World Heritage Site

R8/DMR/19

(This 19mm continues to amaze me. I wish I'd bought one when I first bought the R8)

Ahhh, yes...the dangers of drinking and driving....



Interesting composition Andy. What is the landmark you refer to?

Thanks.

This is the south bank of the Mersey.

Liverpool waterfront is in the distance. (Liverpool waterfront is a World Heritage Site)

The building with the two pointy bits is the Royal Liver Building..

Albert Dock, Liverpool, December 2005

Liver Building from Albert Dock, December 2005

The ferry that can be seen on the river is on its way to Belfast.

The bicycle was probably pinched from a seven year-old by a ten-year old...

Andy,

Very nice photo. Great use of the wide angle. I still struggle to use a wide angle effectively like you just did.

Thanks for posting.

I like it..

Thanks...

So much so that I am going to load a film into my M7 and go for a wander with the CV15mm...

The widest I can go on the DMR is at the Wide end of my 21-35 which is a lens that gets a great deal of use.

I have tried the 15mm on the M8, but the crop factor is significant.

Cheers.
