It had to be pointed out to me that one of the obvious places to try street photography in Manchester is before or after a football match, and tonight I finally made it to Eastlands, City’s ground, where they were playing Bolton (2-0 to City in case you give a shit. Which I don’t.)
This was actually my back-up plan , which had to swing into action after I managed to get to Old Trafford a whole 24 hours too late for their weekend match against Portsmouth). I really can be pretty dense at times. But actually I think it all worked out for the best since the darkness and artificial lights gave some of the pictures a certain something, as did the ability to play around with shutter speeds as low as 1/15 sec. I think I’ve almost had enough of street photography for this assignment, although I’ll continue to practise it on my own. Time to get on with some proper work I think and try and earn some money.
