I was walking around Liverpool city centre with my camera when I randomly came across this mural / street art. I thought that this was fantastic and worth photographing. According to my GPS data from my iPhone this was taken on Steel Street. A quick Google search tells me that this was painted by Philipp Jordan in 2010.

The sun had just vanished below the horizon, but with this clear blue sky I though it was worth trying to capture a silhouette of this large tree as I walked past. I was initially thinking about the dark blue colour of the sky, but on closer inspection I now can see that many of the leaves have fallen off the tree, but not all of them. This photograph was taken in October so it was the middle of autmun. If this had been taken in the middle of winter there would have been no leaves on the tree and I don’t think the photograph would have been as good.

I have been trying and will continue to try to photograph autumn, but I find it one of the most difficult seasons of the year to capture. Reds and oranges are colours that digital cameras struggle the most with. Even with relatively flat late afternoon lighting the orange of the autumn leaves here at Dunham Park really shows what I see in my mind when I think about autumn.

Whilst walking around Sale Water Park on the outskirts of Manchester, I noticed a number of huge electricity pylons “spoiling” the view over the water. However there isn’t much I could do about them being there, so I decided to take a closer look. Usually they have fences all around them, but this one I could walk right under. This was the view looking up from the centre, which I felt made an interesting graphic patterned photograph.
