A Couple from my Friday night wander

[Jon]

Had a wander around Newcastle on Friday night, thought I'd stick a couple up.

 

The central motorway and Swan House roundabout.  Although Swan House is now called 55 degrees North.

Nice set, number one is best though...............

Number one is rather spectacular and definitely eyecatching.

 

The other two, I'm also not sure about. All the interest for me is in the bottom half with the steps and textures, but my eye keeps being drawn to the upper half with the lights.

Number 1 definitely steals the show.

Number one for me too - how does it look if you alter the WB to take out some of the yellow?

That first one is incredible, you should send a JPEG copy to a photographic magazine for potential publication.

You camera settings would be good to see......cheers!

Number 1 for me too. (I think if you dialled out the yellowness, you'd lose the 'urban night time' look of it?)

I'm not sure about the B/W version but all three make me curious to look deeper into them - and just what is that at the top of the steps? Looks a little like privet hedging on top of a shed?

 

Whilst no.1 is the stand out I would love to have added a couple of people, maybe one leaning against the wall the other stood talking to them, on the right-hand side of the 2nd shot as there is some great atmosphere in there.

Its a box/privet type hedge, looks like it has been cut into a shape but has grown out.

 

They were both f16, 30 seconds, ISO 100 at 24mm, WB was set to cloudy so I've taken a lot of yellow out of the first one, any more and it seems to become too cold and clinical and I lose light trails (just learning to post process)
