Photos, stories, and news from Graham Miln.
Rooftop Risks
So, the sight of three girls smoking on the ridge of an apartment block was a cause to grab the camera. The drop is five or six stories and lethal.
Specialised Bikes
Given that, seeing specialised bikes and vehicles around the narrower streets is great. A response to needing to move through the city easily and swiftly. Today I happened upon the TNT delivery bike in the photos below.
Tiny Elevators
It is a rotten trade when in payment for your new elevator, an apartment block carves not into the courtyard, but instead into the stairwell itself.
Lights of Manchester Town Hall
It was a trick I discovered in Sydney’s town hall. When faced with a dark building interior, take photos of the lights from below. The results are fantastic.
Capturing an Indescribable Quality
I have started taking more photos on settings other than the comfortable, forgiving, automatic or program modes.
Manchester
I had never visited Manchester before. Manchester is city to the north of England and one steeped in history. Even with such a rich past, I know the city more through its modern place in culture - a place of music and as a counter-point to an all too often London centric country.
English Language
I stared at this metro poster for minutes before understanding the intended meaning. I only paid attention because the organisation teaches English and I felt I should understand the text.
Insects and Manual Focus
I have started playing with manual focus on the Canon PowerShot SX700. It is not the first camera I have had with this control but it is a feature I rarely use.
A Goat in Lyon
It is not everyday we see a goat in the centre of Lyon. This goat was tied up alongside a cafe.
Excessive Zoom
I have been wanting to settle down and write something useful about the Canon PowerShot SX700. My schedule has not allowed it this month. So a few recent photos will have to tide the topic over for a while.
