Christmas In Manchester 2005

This is a Set was taken back in 2005 with my Vivitar 3765, hence the poorer quality. I like these images as they show a Manchester of change. The first picture is simple and shows Manchester’s Town Hall. 

The following images are of the first Christmas in the ‘then’ newly refurbished Manchester Arndale Centre. To make the best use of the empty space at the time, they placed this modern display there. Now, four years on, the centre is full of shops and there is little room for such an elaborate display.

Abstracts & Colour

Here are two abstracts, both the same image but photoshoped differently. The first image I feel works really well as an image in its own right, whilst the second would make  a great background, maybe for a wedding invitation or something similar… 

Both of these images were composed with milk & water… Believe it or not!

New Page – Nine Centuries From Flickr 2005 -2009

I have created a new page to mark every hundredth image to be posted on Flickr. This was originally a recurring and updated post but it was becoming so large and repetitive, I felt that it was better simply to dedicate a page for the topic instead.

The Eaton Flames

This is a collection of images from the Irlam Bonfire on Friday night, this time taken by my girlfriend’s children. I like all these pictures, all showing the fire at its’ best, just before it collapsed, as they invariably do…

“FACE IN THE FLAME” continues to build on its view count, now reaching over 40,000 50,000 hits and has also featured at Number 3 Number 1 on Google’s image search for “flame”  Again, thanks to everyone who has supported this image and all my work.

Posted on Flickr  on the 96th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, (just in case anyone was interested…) back in April 2008, it has since stormed away to become my most successful picture ever. It was taken my Nikon D40, and the efix data is available on photo page @ Flickr. (Click on the image)

The Eaton’s Shoot Salford…

The following set of images taken on a recent trip to Salford Museum by my girlfriend’s children, who range from the ages of 5 to 13.  To get the best out of what we both felt were wonderful images, I have made some minor adjustments, but mainly in contrast and brighness etc…

There were indeed many good if not excellent photos taken that day, but I decided to chose one for each of them. This is not to say that these were the only good ones, as these are but a sample, but that they represent the eye of each of them well in my opinion. They have certainly got a fantastic eye though and I hope that you would agree…
