It is one of the symbols of Manchester that has been photograph thousands of times by thousands of people, but I wanted to get something a little different for a poster campaign I have been working on for my University coursework. After going out hunting for light trail long exposures at night I ended the night by taking the camera off the tripod to show a friend what it would look like without the support of a tripod. Shooting hand-held I knew it would be blurred – I guess sometimes blurred is best. Needless to say my tutors loved it.
