Hiya all,
I thought I would venture out of the Photo52 challenge, just for a change (as I seem to spending a all my time there lately).
On the 6th March 2011, I had the pleasure of meeting two fantastic peeps from TP, namely Mark (markmjh) and Sasha (travel shooter). Sasha arranged for us to meet up to do a bit of street photography around Manchester. So Mark and I met up and caught a bus from Accrington town centre. What an experience that was (hadn't been on a bus in yonks), not only was the bus stopped en route to chuck 2 people off, but then the bus broke down in Prestwich (wow that was an experience and sight to see all the people dressed in their religious attire).
Anyway, eventually we made it to Manchester and met Sasha in Piccadilly Gardens.
First stop was Afflecks Palace (I was in my element .... this is an absolute emporium lovers haven ).
There was also a Marie Currie fund raising day on, so many collectors dressed up in various outfits.
It was a brilliant day, full of a variety of photographic experience, from product photography, architecture, street photography, candids, grunge, structures, graffiti, omg the list goes on.
I took over 350 photos in 3 hours, and was absolutely shattered after that
Here are a few photos from the many I took (well at least the ones I have had time to process so far .... it has been so hectic lately at work, home and with my photography [doing a 52 and 365, not to mention all the side lines] just not enough minutes in the day), but I thought I would share some with you (btw very heavy post processing applied in most .... because they cried out for some creativity, so probably classified more as images than photographs .... but all produced from pics shot on the day):
May have to post the pics in two posts as there are a quite a few
1. Different spin on Harvey Nichols (not sure they would appreciate such )
2. Posters in Afflecks
3. The aliens are watching us
4. Into the Studio
5. Abstract Beads
6. Cathedral Windows (Abstract)
Granted this is a lot to go at, not necessarily looking for c&c, but any would be welcome if you have the time to provide feedback. Just wanted to share the pics.
More to follow ......
Cheers
Dawn
