'The Lowry', Manchester

Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 3 February 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.

Lorraine....this is one of those photos that you were talking about that almost took itself. No science or thought involved and I was hardly aware that I'd even pressed the shutter release....straight from the heart onto the screen with no stopping on the way. Certainly no processing as such - just the basic stuff needed to be able to post it.

Like me, all of you reading this must occasionally get these gifts too!

This is the reason why I analyse a lot on my shots that I'm not happy with, like that Paris pavement-after-the-rain shot from a few days ago....it's all so that when I get a chance like this I don't need to start thinking....it should just happen of it's own accord.

It's just a shame they only happen 'once in a blue moon' :-)

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.
