Four on the Irwell

Recommended Posts

River Irwell, home of the oldest inter-varsity boat race, eat your hearts out Oxbridge! I remember when the river was so polluted, you could walk across it.

 

Nice reflections, you could crop this image several ways to make totally different shots.

 

Cheers,

 

Pete.

I used to walk on the Lowry side here every day going to the office.

 

(This building is also home of famous footballers ;) )

 

Very nice light here. (What camera, John ?)

 

(The vacant plot immediately behind where you were standing is going to get another 50 storey apartment block a la Beetham Tower...

 

Pete - it crops really well just below where the buildings meet the water.

Pete, Andy,

 

I considered several crops before deciding to leave it as it is!

 

It was taken with a Digilux 2 as part of a "one hour photo" contest - loosely modelled on the ones held on the forum - with friends and colleagues.

 

Thanks for commenting.

John,

 

I have looked at this for ways of modifying it by cropping and have come to the same conclusion as you have. Leave it as it is. A wonderful shot with the mystical reflections, great colors and clarity.

Pete,

 

what a surprise to see one of my old shots reappear on the forum.

 

These days I use a Fujifilm X100, which I rather like, so am unavailable for postings, snapshots or otherwise ;)

I can doubtless make myself available for a beer in the new year without undue difficulties.

 

Who knows, some of the old Manchester Leica crew may care to come along too :eek:
