So I'm also in Liverpool's 800th birthday calendar

btw, how do you shoot IR on the 30D ? with a film camera you just use some IR film, I can't see any IR mode on the 30D...

you use an IR pass filter, blocks all visible light only allows IR through,

only problem is in normal photography, IR light is unwanted so the newer cameras are all getting better and better at reducing IR light reaching the sensor. Meaning new cameras need longer and longer to expose an IR correctly.
 
Congrats Pete! A good shot you kept under wraps there. :) Does this mean I need to send you some more chocolate? :p

There is no special mode for IR, you need to get a lens (like the Canon 50mm that works well with IR). You then need to get an IR Filter for it that fits.

I've never been to liverpool and only know about it by reputation, the one quote that has stuck in my head about it was said just after liverpool was crowned the capital of culture; "they should send the people who found the culture in liverpool over to Iraq, maybe they'll find the WMDs too!"

Awesome picture and well done on getting published (and paid!) again!!!

Thanks, but to defend Liverpool a little. Someone once told me that the Capital of Culture isn't about taking the UK's most cultured city and giving it money, its about giving money to a growing city. Its about taking something that could do with a huge boost and giving it that boost. Liverpool is currently the top place for contemporary art outside of London. I don't know how well this would have worked at any other city, I don't know them as well as Liverpool. I do know that its doing a lot of good. I did a photo essay recently on Toronto vs Liverpool. Toronto being the worlds real capital of culture and what I found was that Liverpool simply lacked money. I came back from Toronto changed by it. Liverpool wasn't the same. However, in recent weeks I have started to see what others see in it. I really hope the council can pull this thing off as 2008 could be fantastic.

If you have been to Liverpool you will really appreciate how striking this image is as the real thing is very hard to capture to really do it justace

I'm not a huge fan of a wide angle lens and architecture. I nice 6x4 large format camera to correct the shapes would appeal much more to me :)
