Well I don't know about anyone else but I was up at 7am and out by 7:30am to capture the New Year sunrise. Thankfully I was able to judge the angle of the sun and was in the prime spot to have the sunrise as the background to the Liverbuildings.
Now before everyone says its over-exposed, noisey and wrong on lots of levels, I like this. Its in the same style as those very very old photos I've seen.
I really love this one. Early fisherman getting his first fishing go in for the new year. Liverpool in the background, the sun light on the Mersey. It just fitted nicely into place. Now the reason why I got up early was because I suddenly remembered last night that the BBC Northwest team wanted pics of New Year. The sun dawning on 2006 I thought would be good. So I got this shot and sent it in, and I was just watching tv and it was on TV!!! They actually said, "or capturing the sunrise like Peter Carr." ON TV! Couldn't believe it. One of my resolutions was to push my photography more, to up the pimping of it. Well job done
I also sent in a shot from the fireworks, while it wasn't technically taken on New Years day I have seen plenty of shots on TV that were never taken when they were supposed to be. That one was shown for ages! I was so happy seeing my sunrise shot blink past that I just couldn't believe they showed the fireworks one for as long as they did. So now I've got to top this by the end of 2006 or I won't have acomplished anything
That one
