T-68 Tram Over Great Bridgewater Street, Manchester

Details

A slow shutter shot from below the Metrolink viaduct on Great Bridgewater Street, Manchester, as a T-68 tram crosses overhead. The long exposure reduces the tram to a continuous streak of white and amber light along the bridge deck, while car tail lights below trace red arcs across the road in the same frame. The T-68 fleet has since been retired from the Manchester Metrolink network, giving the image documentary value. The truss structure of the viaduct frames the tram trail against the dark sky, with street lights creating starburst patterns at the chosen aperture.
