The grandson, Kai.
Taken at the rear of the Malmaison Hotel, Liverpool with a Nikon 55-200mm VR lens.
I like this lens, it gives a nice blur to the background, providing you leave a suitable distance between it and your subject.

This was taken at 92mm ISO 100 f4.5 1/60s.

This was taken from Princes Parade, Liverpool, facing north.

It was taken with the Nikon 18-55 vr lens
with the VR on.

This was taken with the nikon 50mm 1.8 a cracking lens, very sharp, and really brings out the detail.

It`s taken at Marine Lake, Cambridge Road end in Waterloo, Liverpool.

Directly ahead is the beach, on the River Mersey, on it`s way out to the Irish Sea.

This is the Nikon F80 35mm SLR analogue camera. A truely excellent camera this. The two lenses here, are the Nikon 28-80mm kit lens, and the the other is the 70-300mm 5.6D zoom. I got some great photies with these lenses, but now that I have a Nikon digital..
and these don`t function fully on it..I don`t use either much at all.

To mount these on my current camera, I have no auto-focus, no light meter, and especially important for the 70-300mm....no vibration reduction. It` still a cracking lens with a tripod and self timer...so it does get some use...but not so much as it would.

The lady was drawn with the Letraset ProMarker, for the bold strokes, with minimal work with a 8b Faber Castell.
The double tip on the ProMarker is very handy for just turning it around, and using the bullet edge for more fine control

The next time your in Liverpool, looking for a taxi, you can`t do better than Seaforth Radio Cars.

You get a call back as the car arrives...so no hanging around in door ways, or outside bars, so some-one else does`nt pinch your cab.

All cars are regularly, randomly, checked by council officials, so they are all well maintained. And the fares are probably the keenest in the area.

There`s also lady drivers too.

How long do you normally wait for your taxi?
That depends on how busy the system is of course, but typically, no more than 15 minutes or so.
