Playing with Fire

Manchester PhotoSoc put on a great workshop last night playing with burning steel wool in the Castlefield Basin.

Castlefield in the Snow

 Finally, the snow has made it over to our side of the Pennines. I know there's been lots of pictures of Castlefield and the canals recently, but the dusting of snow and the frozen canal were beautiful this morning. It also gave me a chance to try out my new Canon FX (well, secondhand) though obviously the pictures from that are going to have to wait for the rest of the film.

Observant viewers will notice a slight change since yesterday, but snow has been falling pretty steadily since, so I went out and braved the cold for some more pictures...

PhotoSoc Castlefield Trip

These are the pictures from the recent PhotoSoc trip around Castlefield. I tried to capture different elements of the area from those in my previous Castlefield post. Let me know what you think.

P.S. Apologies, something went wrong with the formatting in the original post, and try as I may, I just can't make it work again!

Castlefield

Quite against the usual character of weather in the north-west, there's been some beautiful autumn sunshine in Manchester recently. I took these photographs around the canals at the back of my flat in Castlefield.
