And post it here please!

Theme for the photo: No theme, but take it outside (since it's arguably* Spring now and you should go outside), and try to do something clever with exposures or focal length or fancy lenses or something. At the camera end not the computer end.

Just a bit of fun, but please do take a photo and post it. Also don't worry if you don't have an SLR, you can come up with interesting results even with a cheap compact, just have a play about with the settings.

So to recap:
* One photo
* taken during March (09)
* outside
* to impress

OK?

*edited for Malc

Also, it clearly is if you look out of the window.

But anyway, take a picture pls.

I took a photo but only have my phone camera, so it's not special or good or anything.

It's St Johns Tower, known as the Radio City Tower since that's where they live and broadcast from. Tallest thing in Liverpool I believe.

There used to be a restaurant at the top of it, but it's probably just radio twats, now.

Quite impossible, my good man. Of late I practically live at The Swan on Wood Street.

(Oh, wait, no - not impossible. I went there. Durrr.)

Oof! I stay away from places like that. I enjoy being able to talk to people when I'm out. ;)

I also enjoy being able to play punishing death metal on the worst speakers in the world, which is why I favour The Swan.

You appear to have taken a photo of a bearded man's bottom. I bet you were gutted that the autofocus decided to pick up on the pint glass instead.

It's a summer pub, really. Sitting outside on the grass in the sun with a pint is fantastic.

Someone's been going around Shrewsbury graffiting hearts over all the buildings. Three pillars on a building had them on and I thought it'd make a good photo.
