Manchester's PicturesPages
Building Mix (Nisis DV5)
Here's a picture I took many years ago in print form on (believe it or not) Christmas Day. Both times I took the picture I've been prompted by the person I was with to take it. It shows quite well I think the many styles of building in Manchester I think you'll agree.
This time the picture was taken a little to further towards Princess Street because I'm standing right outside the doors to the Town Hall, whereas last time I was further towards Peter's Square.

Town Hall Interior (Nisis DV5)
One snap of the Town Hall interior that sort of give you an impression of what Manchester Town Hall is like. What appears to be someone walking into the shot is a bust. It was intentionally framed like that but the strength of the flash does make it look a little silly.

Midland (Nisis DV5)
This is the front of the Midland Hotel, which I think I used to assume was the back. Badly framed and everything. The DV5 tried it's best to succeed over my failings. I shall get a better snap some time, when it's not so cold and I have some time.

Atrium Car Park (Nisis DV5)
Walked around the inside of the Town Hall in Manchester today. Looks very impressive. I have been there once before by that was for a medical, so I don't think that counts. Whilst it's of poor quality, here's a sort of atrium within the Town Hall. Taken with the DV5, it's not the camera just a mix of bad light, and poor photographer.

Manchester Dome (Nisis DV5)
Manchester has got a pretty good set of buildings and I don't think we are afraid of showing them... wither that or I'm starting to look upward. This strange dome on the top of a building is quite intriguing, but it's just opposite the Manchester wheel near the Triangle.

Cross Street (Sony Ericsson K700i)
Here's Cross Street and the scene that in 1996 was obliterated by a bomb, supposedly the biggest bomb detonated on mainland Britain so far. Nothing much has changed in some ways, the bridge is still there, and the road still runs the same way. Of course the changes are that for I don't know how many years it was a building site and the other difference is that traffic is unable to drive down Cross Street as it did before. Apart from that and the fact that a nice little cafe use to be on the left (that disappeared before the bomb) I think it looks very much the same, just more glass, which is sort of ironic I think.

Lomo Debut (Sony Ericsson K700i)
Here's a mural depicting the Romans, taken with this camera, the Rollei and the newly bought Lomo copy with a 170 degree fisheye lens, so as you can imagine (all those who know what I'm talking about) I got quite close with the Lomo before I snapped. One problem I only realised later is that the Lomo really takes better pics with 400ASA and all I have is 100, and since it's fixed focus, aperture and shutter speed I could have a very dim set of prints. Ah well I shall call it a test reel.

Roman Fort (Sony Ericsson K700i)
This is the Roman fort in Manchester to the right of the huge tower, well not directly, but if I turned left now then you'd see the new tower in Manchester. Can't tell you much about this as my Wife and Daughter were off and I had yet to take a picture of the mural depicting the Romans.

Manchester Tower 2 (Sony Ericsson K700i)
Back to the great tower that is being built in Manchester. I have forgotten what the tower is called (I did look it up), but it's going to hose a Hilton Hotel among other things. As I have mentioned before further away it looks bigger and this time I am a little further being at the remaining Roman walls in Manchester.

Manchester Tower (Sony Ericsson K700i)
Finally I got the chance to take a picture of the largest tower in Manchester. There's supposed to be shopping, apartments and offices. It doesn't really look that impressive from here and as I mentioned before looks taller the further awy from it you get which is quite strange.
