Manchester’s Castlefield bridges at night

If you have read my photo blog for longer than a month or so you will know how much I enjoy taking photographs around the Castlefield area of Manchester. Day or night the old converted warehouses and holiday barges contrasting with the trendy bars and modern apartment buildings make for very interesting photography. The bridge in the photo above looks totally different at night compared to in the day. At first I thought this image wasn’t worth sharing with you but after studying the shoot for a while I decided I enjoyed the way you can see the steps to the bridge on the far left and right of the picture. The long white light on the above bridge is a Metrolink tram. With such a long ten second exposure time the lights on the train simply blur into an artistic line.
