Yes
I'm brand new to photography and want a few places where I can go to practice, but I don't want to waste my time somewhere with limited photo opportunities.

Any good suggestions?

Thanks in advance
 
Firstly i think you may need to decide what you want to shoot. Manchester is full of opportunities, People, Buildings etc. A walk on a nice day with a open eye can reveal all sorts of possibilities.

I think I'd like to start taking pictures of buildings first. They don't move so it should be easier to work out how my camera fiddling is affecting the shot!

Thanks

Where in manchester are you?

There are a number of members from differnet parts of Manchester, who are always off shooting local to themselves.

I'm near Urmston (and the Trafford Centre, for those that have never heard of Urmston :) )

I think the city centre is probably going to be my first trip out, but it depends on the weather.
 
As a quick add-on to my original question, are there any "must go" places to visit that I might not think of going.

Thanks
 
You could just go to the Traff!

Mind you I've been stopped by security there before but I've shown them the shots I've been taking and they have been fine. It's a bit annoying when others are walking past clicking away on compacts and mobiles and I'm stood there with a guy on the radio. Grrrrr.

The Lowry is excellent as is the wheel and urbis. Weather forecast is not too good for the weekend though.

Good luck.
 
There's two ways to Urmston

But erm... yeah Salford Keys can be fun, especially at sunset. Christmas Market (which I am guessing ends soon) is also good, but mainly for people shots. Trying to think where else I have been.
