Tyne Bridges, Newcastle-upon-Tyne / Gateshead, England, October 2009.

Newcastle is famous for its bridges, and here are the Tyne Bridge, Swing Bridge and High Level Bridge, with yet others behind them.

The surface of the river was unusually still for several periods that evening, allowing good reflections of the floodlighting. The sky was cloudy, so there is a lot of reflected sodium orange light. Unfortunately, the left half of the Tyne Bridge had its lighting turned off for maintenance work. A good excuse to go back again some other time!


Camera, Panasonic FX50. Exposure 3.2 seconds.

Constructive criticism welcome.

Thank you, I am glad you like it because it was looking at your pix and reading your comments that inspired me to take some pictures at night. Normally I only visit in the summer and leave before it gets dark.

Yes, the stillness of the river was a surprise. A lady even came up to me as I was taking pictures and told me how wonderful it looked.
:)

It is really strange, it's normally so wild and churning!! :S But hey I ain't gonna complain! I still love it!

Photography is like that. You turn up with your camera (and tripod!) and see what happens. On the one hand half the floodlighting on the Tyne Bridge was turned off, on the other the water was calmer than even local people could remember.

The general rule seems to be "take lots of photos, but only show the good ones to other people". On my two visits in October I took over 50 pictures but only about ten will make it onto dA.

Photos - I can't add up! I've taken far more than I said (which shows what a wonderful place it is.)

There are actually about 120 pictures in the series, of which only about 18 will make it to dA! But the idea remains the same.

When you are visiting somewhere like Newcastle it's a good thing digital has replaced film. The film and processing would be costing me a fortune!
