Wednesdays Pic - Tall Ships

For now, in the absence of any new images to post, I have decided to look back through previous photos and try and post one image each day with a short description of what, where, how or any other relevent or interesting information. These pictures aren't necessarily going to be my best work, in fact they will almost be a random selection from my hard disk.

This image was taken when the Tall Ships race visited Liverpool recently. Through a friend (thanks John) I was lucky enough to get a Press Pass for the event. Unfortunately when we were allowed access the weather was pretty rough (surprise surprise) and the light was very bland. As a result the images I captured during the press part of the day were quite dull. When we went back later in the day the weather had improved considerabley and I was able to capture far better images. Unfortunately this was also the time when 'ordinary people' were allowed access so getting into position to take photos was far more difficult. The image is obviously of the Brazillian ship (obvious if you know your nation flags that is) which was one of the larger ships in the dock.
