The Eiffel Tower is certainly the symbol of Paris if not one of the most famous structures in France. This was again taken back in 2005 but hadn’t been published on here until now. At the time Paris was bidding for the 2012 Olympic Games. A couple of weeks after this was taken it was…

Taken outside the church in Frodsham at the Cross Wedding late last year. It is a very cheesy balloon, but shows a little detail of the day. I know these helium filled balloons don’t last forever, but at least the bride and groom have a photo of not just the people who were there, but…

Gaudi spent years of his life designing and working on Park Guell in the city of Barcelona. So much so he lived in a house in the grounds. The detailing pictured here is above one of the small windows of this house. At the time I was chilling out on a bench after a hard…

Here we see the beautiful 2008 Kawasaki Z750 in orange. I found this bike parked on a side street near the sea front of Barcelona in Spain. There are thousands and thousands of motorbikes and scooters of all shapes and sizes in this wonderful city and I spent a good part of mytrip documenting some…

The Sagrada Familia is the reason that the city of Barcelona was such a draw to me photographically, I knew there was a lot more than just this massive Cathedral to photograph, but it was this church that caught my eye. Whilst sat on a bench at the western side (or Passion façade), I noticed…

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.…

Here we see a number of old Nikon film SLR (single lens reflex) cameras taken at a second hand camera shop in Manchester’s Northern Quarter. My friend Kov took me there for the first time earlier this year to have his recently purchased macro lens looked at. Whilst there I ended up buying a Vivitar…

The Crossley Regis six from 1935 was the last model of motor car made by Crossley Motors. After this they concentrated on military contracts and later on lorries and buses. Or at least that is what the sign told me at Manchester’s Museum of Science and Industry. The transport building is always the most fascinating…

I have always thought that, given a long enough exposure time on the camera, statues at night could make for interesting photos. So, keen to try this theory, I went to the biggest statue / sculpture that I could think of at the time. The Victoria Memorial is placed at the centre of Queen’s Gardens…

The Beetham Tower has been featured in my photography a number of times over the months, partly because it is the tallest building in Manchester and partly because it is the most dominant part of the city centre’s skyline that I see from my bedroom window. Either way, it has been on my mind for…
