Before Christmas it started to snow and as much as I didn’t fancy driving far, it was a great opportunity to photograph some of my favourite scenes with their winter coats on! The day I took this I walked from Hale up through Altrincham to Dunham Massey. Although the snow had melted a little there…

Out of the examples of Gaudi’s work that I have photographed so far, this is one of the most awkward, because of the buildings placement in the city of Barcelona. With a long lens you can capture its extraordinary details, but to get the full frontal view is almost impossible without many distracting elements. Standing…

I think this is Hulme, well technically the foreground is Salford Quays as this was taken from the viewing platform at the Imperial War Museum North. However I can see various tower blocks that I know are in the Moss Side / Hulme area of Manchester. I am almost certain that the rainbow would only…

Whilst walking around Salford Quays taking photos, the sun was just about to set behind the clouds and I thought it would be a nice light for a portrait. So Michaela stepped in. Rather than getting her to look straight into the camera I thought it would make her much more relaxed to look towards…

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…

This tank was found outside the Imperial War Museum North at Salford Quays. The ZSU-23-4 “Shilka” is a lightly armored, self-propelled, radar guided anti-aircraft weapon system or simply put, a tank! The cream and rust coloured armor contrasts well in my opinion against the greys and purples of the background and ground. The sun kept…

After publishing so many photographs from my recently trip to London I wanted to share an image taken a little closer to home. It was on a small bike ride that I stopped to take the above photo, having seen this tall buildings as a child from the car window on my way to birthday…

Mediacity:UK is expecting to be completed by 2011. From looking on the website they have a long way to go. The BBC will be moving many of its departments from London up to Manchester (technically Salford Quays). After a little research it is quite exciting to see the UK finally getting a “Media City”.
