Description

The span of the Millennium Bridge, Salford Quays

The Salford Quays lift bridge, also known as the Salford Quays Millennium footbridge or the Lowry Bridge, is a 91.2-metre long vertical lift bridge spanning the Manchester Ship Canal between Salford and Trafford in Greater Manchester. The bridge was completed in 2000 and is near the terminus of the ship canal at the old Manchester Docks. It links Salford Quays and MediaCityUK to Trafford Wharf and has a lift of 18 metres, allowing large watercraft to pass beneath. This image was photographed with a circa 2000 Nikon F80 35mm film camera using Kodak ISO 200 colourplus film which was developed by me. The negative was scanned on photo paper in order to add more texture. I finally created the Triptych in post-production.
