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. The Hilton / Beetham Tower was too large and close but the Great Northern Tower really…

As much as I don’t enjoy seeing my own image, I thought that this was interesting enough for today’s photo. Here I am stood on the decking of one of the large piers in Barcelona Harbour. The building had an angled glass wall that distorted the straight edges of the wood. As you can see…

This isn’t the first time I have published a photo of this copper coloured office building in Salford Quays.

There are a lot of fantastic examples of street art or graffiti around Manchester, but nowhere more so than the arty area known as the Northern Quarter. After my recent photo shoot of the Manchester Wheel at Night, Mark wanted to explore more of the area between Piccadilly and Ancoats. Walking down the back streets…

Still life, close up / macro photography has been something of a summer project for me. Rarely have I had the chance to use my newly acquired second-hand close up filter on the front of my Nikor 50mm f/1.8 lens but last week I was lucky enough to spend the whole day playing with Lego.…

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. The exterior of the complex was a New York street setting replicating a Times Square theatre, complete with yellow cabs, large neon advertisements and entertainers role-playing…
