Manchester 26 January and 02 February

[Paul Zietsman]

I was pleased to get out to Manchester Airport over the last two weekends, and how different those days were. On 26 January the temperature was about 4C and I had to battle the mud to get myself alongside 23L. Not another soul was in sight and the light was rather poor so most of my shots were at high iso. On 2 February the temperature was about -4C but the ground was frozen and it was much easier to get alongside 05R. I was one of nine photographers and the sun was out. What a difference in just a week.

Here are some of the images from 26 January:

Thanks for looking.

A nice selection of shots despite the wet conditions, the spray gives added effect to them.

Thanks. I am looking forward to spring and summer trips to Manchester - and may try a couple of visits to Birmingham.
