Silhouettes on Mosley Street
Sun Passing Over Mosley Street, Manchester, UK.
At this time of year the sun is so low in the sky you can stand at Piccadilly Gardens end of Moseley Street and watch it pass across the other end of the street, (where you can see the building work). At the moment this happens at around 3 ‘o’ clock in the afternoon. Standing at the end of the street looking down you get this glorious golden light, causing everything to appear in silhouette with rim lighting around the subjects; an added bonus is how the light causes the tram lines to stand out. These conditions only last for about ten minutes or so…. The white patch on the right is a digital display advertising the iPhone X and is therefore not in shadow…..! Andy Rouse and I stood in the middle of the road taking pictures for a while and it was amazing how many people came along and stood behind us taking ‘our’ pictures on their iPhone’s; I wonder if anyone would have noticed had we not been stood there?
