Old Trafford in the Snow

Posted by
Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 15 December 2010 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

The terraced houses of Old Trafford in the snow photographed from my office window 2 weeks ago. Manchester Utd FC's stadium is in the background.

I chose a deliberately fast shutter to 'freeze' (sorry about the pun!) the falling snow otherwise it would have just looked like mist rather than snow.

NIKON D700 1/500 second F/4.0 ISO 800 20 mm (35mm equiv.)
