Michael McIntyre!

I was so excited to see comedian Michael McIntyre last night and he didn't disappoint! I was a little worried because his delivery style borders on "over the top" so it's possible that he could get carried away with his success and fame (he's hugely popular over here) and wind up being annoying rather than funny. But that hasn't happened! At least not yet. At one point, I was laughing so hard, I literally had tears in my eyes! And I got a shirt that says "I'm absolutely gazeboed" which is one of his many catchphrases from his most popular act that made him famous. You can see it here, it's the first joke!

Salford Quays by Day and Night

So my little photoshoot on the balcony the other night has inspired me to take more photos around the Quays. It's such a nice area and there's so many photo ops just waiting to be had, shame on me for not taking advantage of it sooner. I've named the project "Salford Quays by Day and Night" because I plan to do a ton of photos both at night and during the day. I don't plan on them all being HDR though. But HDR does work well with night shoots and I'm doing the night side of right now.

There's a chance they could be used promotionally for work at the rugby club too.

So here's the next one in the series:



I'm not as happy with it. Mainly because I framed it too tightly which left very little room for lens correction (the building in the background is still slightly tilted but I couldn't correct it anymore or I'd be cropped off the corner of the theater). I'll probably reshoot it but it'll do for now.

Unfortunately, it's raining tonight and tomorrow we're seeing comedian Michael McIntyre so the next photo will have to wait.

I'll leave you with a video of Michael McIntyre Live at the Apollo:
