Oran Mor Twilight Print – Glasgow West End Wall Art by Grant Glendinning
Twilight at Òran Mór, Glasgow
An early start to the day rewarded me with this capture of the pre-dawn twilight glow washing over the Òran Mór arts and entertainment venue on Byres Road, Glasgow. I was lucky enough to frame this moment from Great Western Road, catching what appears to be a rare, empty street. In truth, the traffic was coming in waves, and I managed to time a 25-second long exposure perfectly, just before the next surge of cars rolled through.
Â
Heavy rain through the night had left a generous puddle by the roadside, which I used to full effect by lowering my Manfrotto 055XPROB tripod for a reflective angle. A Hoya low-profile polarising filter on my Canon 17–40mm f/4.0 L lens helped draw out the detail and enhance the mirror-like reflection.

As a final touch, a delicate crescent Moon appeared just to the right of the Òran Mór building, a quiet bonus that added to the calm, layered beauty of the scene.
