Looking for something special

 I don't do a lot of street photography but it is something I intend to do more of and with today being Christmas Eve I thought it was appropriate to share these few images of people doing their last minute shopping, or window shopping perhaps.

The first image was shot from above and the subject was unaware that I was taking his picture but in the next one he was and in the third image also the guy looking at watches also knew I was taking the shot. It can be a little unnerving taking pictures of random people but fortunately on this occasion no one seemed to mind.

Getting Festive

So here I am out for a night in Manchester ( here to see The Divine Comedy) but also soaking up a bit of atmosphere around the city. With the Christmas market and the festive lights it really feels Christmassy and it's still November.

The first shot is of the giant Father Christmas outside the city hall. The second picture is the atrium over the entrance to the Bridgewater Hall and the final shot is of the brightly lit Deansgate pub.
