MEDIA CITY

Hey guys, gonna start off the new year by introducing a blog to my website. Recently I went on a trip to the awesome Media City in Salford Quays, Manchester. Its an architecture photographers paradise! The forecast wasnt great and as we headed over the Woodhead Pass we were hit with the thick cloud which we thought ruined any chance of nice light, but we ventured on and when arrived was treated to a nice little afterglow. I have visited Media City once before but was a bit overwhelmed with what to shoot so this time I took a different approach, slowed things down, worked on my composition and sharpness, and this time used a light pollution filter. This really helped with the terrible orange sky glow and enabled me to pick out much more details in the highlights as stuff wasnt getting blown out. Hope you enjoy the images, and please feel free to comment below. Cheers, Rob
