and sometimes it doesn't!
Mann Island, Liverpool
We (fellow Flickrite Eddie Coulson and myself) had no clear plans of what to shoot or where to go (I think the term is "winging it") so I decided to pack the kitchen sink for all eventualities. Mrs R had declined to come on this Flickr inspired road-trip even thou we went on the train! This meant I was forced to carry my own tripod (note to self: must check out our vows... I'm sure I included it in there somewhere - love, honour, obey and carry tripod when asked!)
The weather and clouds in particularly looked promising and I thought of trying a few long exposures in the reflection of the glass walled Mann Island building, after all I'd carted the damn tripod all over Liverpool and I sure as hell was going to use it at some point. Eddie was busy snapping jumping tourists taking selfies of themselves so this was my opportunity.
While setting up, the cloud movement looked good in the reflection, but the execution hasn't delivered in the same way as my mind's eye saw it. But you've got to try new things!
