I'm never sure if the lens distortion on building photos (particularly like the left hand building on the last photo) is acceptable or not? I have lots of similar photos from Australia but I feel a lot of them have to many angles. I need to read up about distortion correction, but I always find that when I try to repair angles I end up cropping so much off that I would have been as well using a normal lens.

It's a shame about the CCTV camera in #1.. they never think about these things when they stick them up in front of buildings like that.
 
Hi Kevin,
Nice attempt at the Quays, been there quite a bit myself! My only suggestion would be to consider going to the Quays during the Golden Hours of the evening or morning. The lighting might be a bit better which would add more to what you have done!

Cheers,

Andy

I wish I can go there again soon.
But the problem is that I take the 250 Bus to 1-2 stops after Man Utd stadium
and walk to there.
Don't think its kind of a good idea to walk from the 250 Bus lane to there
at night as have to pass through a road that its a factory next to it.
And dont think there is any light there as well.

Any suggestion that I can go to the Quays from arndale centre?
Like trams or anything else?

Thanks

Yep, there is a tram stop, which stops near the NV Buildings and Detroit Bridge, Harbour City is the name. If you are coming from the Arndale Centre, I would suggest you walk it to St Peter's Square outside the town hall due to the metrolink works in town.

Cheers,

Nice shots Kevin, I'll have to get down there myself at sometime
