Manchester city center - it was unusually quiet in this area and seeing trams running up and down, I thought about videoing the tram in the distance going over the ( rested on the road, unattended) camera. Then I remembered that some of these trams carry brushes just underneath their front ends and I decided, well, best not, eh? and took a single shot on the ground while the tram was still a good distance away. Chicken! Or Mr. Sensible? Sometimes in the quest for getting something a little different we photographers can be a little bit daring. It was then I had a flashback of one day when I was a bit too artistically minded and it cost me more than I dare say in wrecked equipment (not going into detail here - it still hurts!). So this is as good as it gets for now. Must get down to the tram depot some time and check out the trams properly - I'm still itching to do the run-over video so I can include it in an ongoing project. :-)
