View From The Bridge - Leeds Canal at Night

Leeds Canal Night

This photograph shows the night time view from Centenary Bridge towards Crown Point Bridge in Leeds city centre.

I had spent the evening in a bar, the Azucar, Brewery Wharf just past The Calls on the Leeds waterfront. Now here I must declare that it was in futherance of my Leeds daily photo blog and I had been invited to a bloggers meeting sponsored by Havana Rum. How neat is that, being invited out for the evening by a drinks company.

I like the Azucar, nice people and the food is good too, I will be posting pics and more from the Leeds bloggers meet over the next few days.

On my way bact to the Leeds rail station I walked back over the Centenary Bridge over the river Aire and took this photo. I had not taken my tripod to the bar so apologies if image not really sharp.

  1. That's a great shot. Lovely skies.

    You must have a very steady hand.

    Check out the GorillaPod - small enough to fit in a camera bag all the time and versatile enough to grip hold of anything. At Amazon - http://bit.ly/IUb1b

    It's perfect for snatching pin sharp long exposure shots like this when you don't have a tripod. You have to be really dedicated to take a tripod out to a bar, after all...

  3. It looks pretty sharp considering you'd been in a bar all evening! Was the rum good?

  5. I love photography, but I'm certainly nothing more than an amateur with a DSLR. Like many others, I found that after switching from a point and shoot camera, I knew even less than I thought, and all those "extra" settings and feature actually meant something.But here what i get is extremely good...keep it rolling guys.
