The Royal Albert Dock

Liverpool's Royal Albert Dock - My Continied Inspirations, Surrounding Area, Landmarks Near And Far

Some Images uploaded before Bloodwise had changed it's name from Bloodwise to Blood Cancer UK

Canal, Narrow Boats and Barges berthed in Salthouse Dock, I was “drawn” to take the picture at this angle to record the sun reflecting in the water to depict a subtle mood of tranquility.

Life is depicted as owners attend to their vessel left of photograph.

When actually taking the photograph I “balanced” The Wheel Of Liverpool (far left), with the suns rays (near right) reflecting in the waters surface.

I use the term “balance” in inverted commas, because an imaginary diagonal line can be drawn linking the wheel to the reflection in the water.

The nearest vessel to the frame is called “Tapestry”

Above I used the Royal Albert Dock Gates to frame the image and composed the photograph slightly towards the left.

The darker shadow is recorded to add a “touch” of drama contrasting with the road entrance.

I have used the road to lead the eye into the composition.

Above The Anglican Cathedral is used as a focal point in the photograph, framed by The Royal Albert Dock.

The Cathedral can be seen in the distance just above The Merseyside Development Corporation Albert Salthouse Bridge,

centrally placed in the photograph just towards the right.

At the processing stage I "brought out" the clouds more to add extra drama in the sky

The image is framed by a vessel on the right side. A blue Barge/Narrow Boat can be seen sailing in the Royal Albert Dock.

The Pumphouse is composed centrally an can be seen just over the walls of the Royal Albert Dock Shopping area.
