Liverpool City Mist – More Time Lapse

By Will | Published 18/10/2009

After my first attempt at shooting a time lapse sequence from the roof of the Anglican Cathedral tower, I returned with plenty of time to figure out a different way of supporting my camera and keeping it off the floor.  From the results, it looks like it was a success.  It’s just a shame the weather wasn’t as kind as it was the previous week.

Never the less, the city still makes for a fascinating show.  So, let’s get on with it!

On my next visit to the tower, I think I’ll try something else. The position on the roof I’ve been shooting from is very popular. So, it’s only fair someone else gets a go. Unless the weather is spectacular in which case it’s first come, first served, baby! :OP

From Way Up High: Liverpool Life at Dusk

By Will | Published 11/10/2009

Until 26th November 2009, the Anglican cathedral in Liverpool is allowing evening access to the tower roof.  A new lighting system has been installed which means visitors are now able to enjoy a very unique view of Liverpool after dark until 8pm on Thursdays excluding 5th November which is a real shame.

I’ve been on the roof before and it really is a spectacular view over not just the city centre, but also of the surrounding suburbs and even across the Mersey to Wirral.

Last week, I was on the roof again as the sun was setting and I took the opportunity to shoot a time lapse sequence.  Unfortunately, my tripod was resting on some wobbly floorboards which people kept treading on throughout the sequence.  So, there’s a degree of jitteriness caused by camera movement, but I really enjoy watching the resultant clip because it reminds me there’s so much life going on all over the city.
