Crane Yard at Night, Science and Industry Museum, Manchester

An HDR night shot of the outdoor area at the Science and Industry Museum on Liverpool Road, Manchester. The image looks along an industrial overhead crane structure, its columns lit with uplighting and receding into the distance. The elliptical cutouts in the ironwork reflect Victorian weight-saving engineering.

HDR processing balances the wide tonal range, holding detail in both the lit metalwork and the amber-stained sky above the roofline. The brick buildings in the background form part of the Liverpool Road Station complex, the world's oldest surviving passenger railway terminus, dating to 1830.
