Yesterday was Shoot Liverpool, a “photographic treasure hunt”. You had to choose a team of two to four people, pay £10 each to the Tate Liverpool, where the event was hosted, and turn up at 11am with your camera, and a clear head.
We were then given 10 clues, 6 “fixed” clues, and 4 that were open to interpretation. The answers to the fixed clues were various structures or locations around Liverpool. The answers had to be in the form of a photograph, the more imaginative, creative and well exectued, the better.
Well, myself, two members from the forums, Pete Carr, Jimmy_Lemon, and David J Colbran, teamed up to form, our brilliantly titled “The A-Team” (Thanks Pete).
After being given our clues, we spent the next 5 hours, getting wet, exhausted, thirsty and hungry as we ran around Liverpool, working together to get our 10 “Answers” together, answers that were funny, imaginitive, creative, and just as importantly, er, correct.

One of the clues was “The subject of this song may get your heart racing if this land’s the place you love.”. The answer of course being the “Ferry across the Mersey”. While Pete went further down the ramp ready to get our entry for this round, I took this shot of the Ferry coming into dock, full of passengers (and a few Shoot Liverpool contestants too).

More shots from the day to follow 🙂
