Salford Quays
After spending most of the afternoon in Manchester dodging the rain, we headed back to the Quays to meet up with Mike Dutson for a night shoot and hopefully a decent blue hour. The weather was suggesting otherwise and after a bite to eat and drink in Limes (why not, it was raining again!) we started to make our way round to the MediaCity bridge (left of shot).
I’ve not shot the Quays at night for a very long time and the excitement got the better of me. The sky was looking particularly menacing at this point and I thought grab what you can, while you can, so this is camera straight out of the bag… no setup and handheld, which I don’t like doing at slow shutter speeds, but that sky was too good to miss - a case of premature shutter action I guess!
