Salford - Salford Quays Millennium Bridge, Twilight
Millennium Bridge, Salford Quays - Salford - Greater Manchester, England.
A nice evening to be wandering about in Salford Quays, a bit chilly but the skies were clear. In fact, the whole weekend was nice weather-wise, a perfect time to drive out of town to the Greater Manchester area.
One of the popular hangouts in Salford - the Salford Quays, has a few bridges spanning the Manchester Ship Canal, but the most photographed of them all is this bridge - the lift bridge or Millennium Bridge, which was completed in the year 2000 hence its name. It links Salford Quays to Trafford Wharfside and has a lift of 18 metres, allowing large watercraft to pass beneath it.
The sweeping arches are decorated with blue LED lighting, while the deck is illuminated with white downlighting. There are glass sidings which acts also as a windbreaker; the shape follows the angle of the arches.
Camera/Lens: Nikon D700; 24-70mm f/2.8;
Exposure: 25 sec.; Aperture: f/14; ISO: 250; Focal Length: 48mm;
