Stood on an old GPO box trying to gain some height. Hard getting up there… even harder getting down!
Central Library, Manchester
Another from the outing with Muddy Boots UK a.k.a. Michael Dutson one very early Sunday morning.
Mike was busily doing long exposures whereas I was just messing. I’d created a project years ago called “Blurred Lines” of the Manchester trams using a zoom twist technique, which I’ve always liked doing. It’s a bit more organic than creating the look in Photoshop and not everyone’s cup of tea but what the hell… do what you like in photography.
I just like the lead-in of the pathway - always a bit hit and miss, but it worked well here. Did think of calling it “Windrush” but the title reflects my state of mind.
Manchester Central Library. There's a nice spot at the back of Manchester Library where the light comes through a side road in the evening. If you're lucky you can catch the light on a passing subject to make for a nice composition and mood.
Manchester's Central Library is now empty and will shortly be handed over to the building contractors. I managed to get a quick mosey round there with my camera :-D

The inscription in the middle is from Act IV, Scene I, of Shakespeare's play The Tempest, where Prospero says:
"The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep."
Manchester Central Library is the headquarters of the city's library and information service in Manchester, England. Facing St Peter's Square, it was designed by E. Vincent Harris and constructed between 1930 and 1934. At its opening, one critic wrote, "This is the sort of thing which persuades one to believe in the perennial applicability of the Classical canon". The form of the building, a columned portico attached to a rotunda domed structure, is loosely derived from the Pantheon, Rome.
The library building is grade II* listed. A four-year project to renovate and refurbish the library commenced in 2010. Central Library re-opened on 22 March 2014.
Taken from the roof of the town hall looking down on the dome of the library.

Take a look at this image of Manchester taken a few years ago from the Force’s helicopter. It captures many of Manchester's most iconic buildings.
The miniaturisation effect has been done digitally but the original technique dates from the early days of photography.
While popularly known as tilt-shift, the effect was originally achieved by using just the tilt feature of a plate camera alone.
The plate holding the lens is independently tilted through the vertical (y) axis. This allows the photographer to control the plane of focus in an image.
Using a wide aperture and adjusting the tilt to throw the background and foreground out of focus creates the familiar miniature effect. It works by fooling the eye/brain, which expect to see much greater depth of focus in large-scale subjects.
