High Level Bridge, Newcastle

[David]

Another mono conversion from my trip to Newcastle on Tuesday afternoon.

 

The High Level Bridge is a 'double decker' with a railway line over a road

 

 

This really is best viewed large

    Love the shine on the water and the detail.

Thanks Tina, the light was amazing, it was close to sunset so I got within that 'golden hour' of low sunlight.

My first thought was that there's just too much water at the bottom of the image, but after having a longer gawp I think you have it just about right.

 

The shimmery reflections look great and the bridge is just about perfect in the frame. A very nice B&W conversion too!

 

I was in Gateshead early last year (we went to the The Baltic) but didn't have the opportunity to take photographs.

Newcastle through your eyes is an awesome place, I'm really enjoying seeing it

Thanks guys. Its the first time I have been with a camera, I parked in the Baltic car park and crossed over on the Millennium Bridge. I went to get a shot for the curves comp. as there are a lot of arched bridges and details like in the high level bridge in this post. I think what I entered for the monthly pic may have been just a bit OTT though lol.

 

But once you start taking photos of somewhere for the 1st time, you just can't stop! And I do have more including a sunset 1 that I am just not sure about - so I may put that up in the critique section later.

 

I think the High Level Bridge is a magnificent piece of architecture and I am pleased that this shot does go someway to conveying that, and I am enjoying experimenting with different tones (warm, cool etc) and contrast in my mono conversions. Some will work and some wont - and some I think work wont too lol

Very moody. I like moody

 

Is that one of the Five Bridges?

Thanks Chris and yes the 2nd last or 2nd of them depending on which way you are facing
