Water and Rail Meet at Castlefield Manchester<\/h1>\n

Castlefield is\u00a0incredibly central in Manchester, a stone’s throw away from the massive Beetham Tower and Deansgate Station. It’s a stunning place for every photographer to enjoy, be that shooting the architecture reflected in still waters, taking a model down there and using the industrial backdrops or shooting a car down there – with girders and bricks reflected in its shiny bodywork.<\/p>\n

Great on a Dull Day<\/h2>\n

Castlefield Manchester is one of those places where you don’t really need bright sun to enjoy it – when you’re below a bridge, the sky can be flat and boring and will create a fantastic shot. It may be worth bracketing your photos to create an HDR later – a with this first photo.<\/p>\n

Practice your HDR<\/h2>\n

The dynamic\u00a0range between the sky and the arch to the right was pretty huge, so I did need 2 shots – each 2 stops apart.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Other stuff, like bikes on walls, are all over the place.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The canal leaves the basin and heads into the City<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A perfectly placed Peroni!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A bright red boat outside the basin… and a friendly mallard<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Just about managed to frame the background with the arches using a 16mm lens!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The industrial<\/a> museum is a gem of a buildings<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Below the foot bridge over one of the docks<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Massive girders!\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Footbridge and 2 railway lines<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There is a road way through the area too – you can see the size of these grey columns with the cars to the right<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Old beer barrels behind an abandoned pub<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fantastic place for reflections<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

HDR detail of the cobbles<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mix of new architecture around the dock area<\/p>\n
