Views down the Tyne

[Deckard]

I used to live in Newcastle but wasn't into photography at the time so got precious few shots. However, we stayed over one night this week after visiting the in-laws nearby so I took my gear down the Tyne to get some night shots. Fortunately [or not?] I woke up very early the next morning before 5am so decided to make the most of it and go down to the river again to catch the dawn.

Here's a selection of what I shot.

The Millenium Bridge, looking through towards the Baltic Mill arts centre:

Looking the other way, up the Tyne, towards the Sage in Gateshead and the Tyne Bridge:

The Baltic, just before sunrise:

A 10 shot panorama down the Tyne from the Millenium Bridge:

And lastly, a silhouette of the Tyne Bridge:

I'm pretty pleased with my haul, what do you reckon?

They are all brilliant but the panarama is just stunning... well done!

They are all very good, but that pano is superb....your spoilt for good bridges in Newcastle

Wow, every one of them is a winner (IMO) It'll cost you a fortune to get them all mounted and framed.

 

[Deckard]

Thanks a lot guys! Just goes to show that the effort of being there at the right time for the right light can pay off.

Here's a night panorama I've just finished:

This one took a few attempts to stitch it correctly, but it came out alright in the end I think.

Stunning shots, really loving the panoramic shots they are amazing looking. Can't decide whether I like the daytime or the nightime one more.

It's a pity the Tyne Bridge itself isn't lit up aswell, being the main attraction.

 

[Sparkles33]

Great stuff. Was it last Wednesday that you were there?
I especially like the one just before sunrise!

 

[Graham00]

Glorious set, some lovely reflections and the Tyne isn't very wide coupled with some great lights all over. Good stuff

 

[loplyg]

All of these viewpoints are soon to be improved by the removal of those absolute monstrosity bollards from below the Millenium Bridge!

 

[Kiwi Jaz]

Wow, that panorama is wicked. Sorry, just had to say it. Cant offer any constructive criticism but had to let you know that that is a fantastic shot.

 

[Deckard]

Thanks again everyone.

It was this Monday/Tuesday we were there Nattelie, and I agree that I too was somewhat disappointed to see that the Tyne Bridge itself wasn't lit somehow.
