Security on the Imperial War Museum
Oct 14th
This afternoon I decided to visit Salford Quays. I took a number of photographs as well as checking out the Lowry art gallery and shopping centre. I had a great day out and it was a fun adventure. The area has chanced quite a lot since I last visited on the 13th February this year. There are a lot more apartments being build and the area seems to be a little more popular. Above is a photograph of the Imperial War Museum. It is a very interesting building with weird shapes and curves. I know loads of people who have photos of the Museum but I don’t think many will have thought of this composition for a photograph!
Painting with Light Experiement
Oct 10th
So I wanted to do something creative with my day. Mondays are never nice being in college from 9am till after 6pm (it”s too like a real days work). It turned out to be a lovely day and I got out of college in the mood for photography. As I walked home slowly it started to get dark. I took a lot of boring photos of trees in the dusk etc. As I got closer to home all the street lights started to come on and I thought I would take a picture of a traffic light. Well I turned off the flash but had the camera on auto mode. Although things turned out blurred an idea about painting with light came back to me from a project I did last year to do with movement in photography. So for the rest of the walk home I pointed the camera at cars and street lamps and took pictures. Due to it being at night the camera set a long exposure time and I move the camera around in effect painting with the light. From the 120-ish images this is my favourite.
Stockport – M60 motorway
Oct 4th
This afternoon I was shopping in Stockport and decided to go on a little adventure around the area. I didn’t go far and based my photography around the viaduct and motorway. You may or may not remember the photograph below is similar to the one I took from a train on the viaduct of the same motorway back on Friday 22nd July. Hope you like it.
