Clyde Arc Twilight

Evening twilight by the River Clyde revealed these perfect reflections of the Glasgow Clyde Arc Bridge.

This photograph was taken at the Lancefield Quay side of the River Clyde which has undergone some development to extend the ncr75 walkway, which allows this unique and splendid view of the Clyde Arc bridge to be photographed. I took various shots of the bridge from this viewpoint from landscape to portrait orientation while the evening twilight was descending, and the reflections remained absolutely still and crystal clear for the duration I was there. This square crop of the bridge is my favorite as it shows not least of all the stunning detail of the reflection and the blue hour twilight just before darkness fell.

Oran Mor Twilight print

Oran Mor – Glasgow

An early morning rise to capture the morning twilight glow of Oran Mor arts and entertainment venue on Byres Road, Glasgow. I was lucky enough to get the shot from Great Western Road with what looks like an empty street but in fact the traffic was coming in spurts and I just timed it right with the 25 second exposure before more traffic arrived. As you can see in the image there had been a lot of rain that night which left a puddle on the side of the road, I of course took advantage of that and got my Manfrotto 055XPROB tripod down at a low angle to capture the reflection. Having a Hoya low profile polarising filter on my Canon 17-40mm f4.0 L lens helped bring out the reflection nicely, too. You can also see the crescent Moon to the right of the Oran Mor building which was another bonus.
