Silky surface of Tyne, a photo from Tyne and Wear, England

Photographer's Note

If you don't use beta-TrekEarth click here for a larger and sharper original version of this photo.

I have shared here already several photos from Newcastle upon Tyne taken along the river. This time as my point of view I have chosen the Swing Bridge. Obviously, you cannot see the Swing Bridge here because I am standing on it. If you are curious click here to see a view from a bridge behind (High Level Bridge), in which the extraordinary Swing Bridge is seen at the bottom of the frame.

The Tyne Bridge which you can see in this photo was a prototype to a larger and more famous Harbour Bridge built later in Sydney by the same company from Middlesbrough.

Swing Bridge is much lower and closer to the water surface than other Tyne bridges, that is why from this point you can actually see how the Tyne Bridge looks from below. Under the Tyne Bridge further in the distance you can find the characteristic arch of the pedestrian Millennium Bridge or the modern oval shape of the Sage concert hall.

Hello Mariusz,
A great blue hour shot of this beautiful bridge and the much more modern one in the distance. The clarity is amazing and I love the colourful reflections in the silky surface a lot as well.

Hello Mariusz, a beautiful ‘blue hour’ picture.The silky surface of the Tyne is perfect, especially with the various coloured lights reflected upon it.
Excellent depth of field.
Very interesting notes.
Regards Jean.

Hello Mariusz,
A splendid view of both bridges under a wonderful blue hour sky.
Excellent composition!
The red and green lights and their long reflections in the river add more colour.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Mariusz
Beautiful photo with the velvet reflection of the Tyne. The repetition of the arc in the distance also makes the photo special.
Excellent work
Have a nice day, groet Rob

Bonjour Mariusz,

Une très belle composition à l'heure bleue. Il faut dire qu'à cet heure , le fleuve est magnifique et que l'illumination de la ville est très belle. Superbe gestion de tout.

Amicalement

Serge

annjackman (23019) 2019-03-13 7:23

Hello Mariusz,
I have not seen this bridge so really enjoy this photograph. A perfect blue hour image with lovely coloured reflections in the silky water. The composition is just right too with nothing that distracts.
Super image!
Kind Regards, Ann
p.s. thanks for your kind comments about the West Bay cliffs. The news today showed a massive cliff collapse in that exact spot and the footpath across the top is now closed!

jhm (202915) 2019-03-13 7:57

Hello Mariusz,

The bridge and river makes your picture attractive.
Your picture is wonderful sharp and clear.
Composition and presentation are pleasant.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

You made me smile with your latest critique, Mariusz, good humor about a tree-house with no trees in the garden...
A fabulous night scene, your expertise, my fried, superbly done photojob, attractive lights, colors and the effect with the relative long-shutter.
View from bridge to bridge gave excellent DOF to the whole.
My cong.s ,
Ike

Ciao Mariusz

A superb blue hour shot from Newcastle in northern England with wonderful reflections, color and saturation. I like the depth created by framing one arched bridge with another. Tfs!

Silvio1953 (205611) 2019-03-14 5:24

Ciao Mariusz, fascinating blue hour with fantastic reflections of lights, excellent exposure and wonderful colors, very well done, my friend, ciao Silvio Berlusconi

adramad (66964) 2019-03-14 13:08

Hello Mariusz.
A sensational photo with this great panoramic of the river and the city on both sides, but what most seduces is its fantastic bridge that we see in the foreground, behind we can see another and a modern construction on the right, beautiful reflections of color in the river , ideal moment with the sky at the blue hour.
Good sharpness and optimal lighting, provides a great image quality.
Well done. I like very much.
Enjoy a good day
Very best regards.
Luis.

Royaldevon (75330) 2019-03-15 5:18

Hello Mariusz,

There have been some good programmes, detailing this view of the river but they did not have the artistic charm that this photograph reveals!
The viewpoint is impeccable, capturing the moody reflections on the water and guiding us effectively towards the bridges, under the bridge and deeper!
I just love the blue hour colours
I'm sure you would be satisfied with this!

Have a good w/e,
Bev :-)

sacimar (38171) 2019-03-15 6:34
