Newcastle

I went for a drive yesterday. It was fun, but I didn't quite make it to my final destination in good time for the blue hour. A long traffic jam Saturday evening certainly didn't help; and finding a parking space was a nightmare. So I did what I could to make the most of the night and scout the location.

I also noted that 24-70mm is not nearly wide enough for the shots I wanted to create. Oh, well everything will need better planning for the next time should I commit myself again. Maybe if I can fit in St. Mary's lighthouse this will be an interesting day out.

The colour version - however I prefer toned BW.

I like the toned b&w of #1, although #4 has its place too.
I'd clone out that half light burst in #2 rhs

1st for me too, looks almost like the water is iced over

all really nice, its ridiculous how wide a lens you need to get everything in, from where you were for the tyne bridge shots you really need 17mm minimum lol.

lovely pics though i think number 1 is my favourite

i like them all

1st and 3rd one for me. think the bluish toned mono works well with the bridge and star bursts, and really like the perspective and car headlight trails in the 2nd one

I found for the Quayside the 24-70 a fine lens.

Its IMHO Britains best waterfront. You need a reflection to make it work. 2 works and the B&W processing right for the night scene. None of the others work for me bar 2.
