I wanted to make this photograph a little special using digital post production, as I thought that it captured a great little moment. When I took the snap I didn’t see the man’s arm pointing or the two women sat under the umbrella. However when looking through my photographs at the end of the day,

Standing at Gmex Metrolink Station one afternoon waiting for a tram, I noticed the dark, stormy looking sky and how the buildings in the foreground were lit up by the sun coming through the thick clouds over my shoulder.

Granada Studios Tour was an entertainment complex in Castlefield, Manchester which operated from 1988 to 1999. It was situated on Water Street, adjacent to Granada Television’s Quay Street complex.
