Millenium Bridge

Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 15 September 2007 in Architecture and Portfolio.

This is the Millenium Bridge in Salford Quays, Manchester. It is 5 minutes from our office and is the main pedestrian link over the Manchester Ship Canal between the Lowry Centre and the Imperial War Museum.

This shot was taken using the b&w in-camera setting and is not a conversion from an original colour photo using photoshop. I'm experimenting with this setting at the moment as I found it made a difference when composing shots. Also, although it is obviously more limiting in terms of tonal range compared to doing a photoshop conversion, I thought it resulted in higher overall IQ.

Hugo Poon records his home city Hong Kong in photographs so beautiful that they inspired me to start taking my own photos. Deeply humanist in his vision, Hugo claims that he is not a photographer. Why not visit his photoblog and decide for yourself.
