As my title suggests, I have always considered myself having a preference for portrait and event photography as I enjoy that interaction with people. Never thought I want to be out late on my own with a tripod and some snacks, waiting for the evening 'Golden Hour'.
Not sure what has happened but it would seem as though I'm capturing the cityscape of Manchester (well so far only Salford Quays). I'm feeling inspired to capture other cities too. Following the adage of 'shoot what you're interested in'. I've come to find Manchester a great city. Other than having family there, for me it's like a smaller, cleaner, friendlier (London) city. Even though it rains an awful lot there, it's still nice.
Anyway, it's a personal reminder to just keep my eyes open to just be shooting things I like. I've still that bag(s) of bits and bobs to do some table top images and abstracts, which I'm now hoping to get some time to make some photos with.
The above image is from my recent trip to Manchester during the August Bank holiday. You can see the BBC building at Media City and to the left, the bridge which allows access to the opposite bank where Granada TV are moving in once building has completed.
(Still thinking about investing in some better 'Glass')
Hope you like it.
