NewcastleGateshead Quayside By Night
The Newcastle and Gateshead Millennium Bridge (UK) with The Sage Music venue and The Tyne Bridge in the background.
This was one of a series of pics I took on first night shoot, I’d only had the camera a week or so and I’m really, really pleased with how this has turned out.

Jackie Wilson
Fabulous one of the best I have seen! Well done
KevM replied
Thanks Jackie,
there are plenty of pics taken from the exact same spot so your comments mean a lot to me.
TFFDavid
The spot you are standing on to take this, I have stood there hundreds of times.
Great photograph Kev, the colours are gorgeous.
KevM replied
Thanks David,
I’ve seen loads of pics taken from the same spot so I thought I had to try and re-create it. The weather was on my side, it was a very cool, still night. Taken the first time I ventured out with my dSLR with an aim to getting some good Tyne pics.
I’m hooked so I might see you there one dusk :-)
Jason Connolly
Hey mate, this is good, not done much night photography, If I did this I would be proud, I’m sure you are Kev…
KevM replied
Thanks Jason,
considering this was from my first real ‘shoot’, I’m very proud of the reaction this pic is getting, both on RB and elsewhere.
Andi Duncan
Wow! Kev this is a fantastic shot almost looks like somewhere out of a sci fi movie – Well done!
KevM replied
Thanks Andi,
after looking at some of your pics I can see there’s plenty of inspiration to be gained from you.
Jaybe
THE best I’ve seen…..I live there and never seen one as good as this…well done!!
KevM replied
Thanks,
I think a lot of it has to do with the near perfect night when I took it.
dwcdaid
Cool photo. Nice place to sit and have a beer. ;-)
KevM replied
Thanks. If only these pics would take themselves while we sit and have a beer :-)
Woodie
Great capture man! The black sky really sets it off.
Cheers Neil
KevM replied
Thanks Neil. I think there was a huge amount of luck involved and being in the right place at the right time here.

Great shot Kev, welcome to “TUKS”
KevM replied
Thanks for the welcome (and the feature :-) ).
Looking at the other pics in the group I’m sure I’ll be able to pick up some great tips from you guys!
Maureen Brittain
Stunning shot – so clear!
KevM replied
Thanks, after taking loads, this was one of the few usable shots.

Angie McKenzie
awesome night shot!! the water is like a mirror, so calm!!!
KevM replied
Thanks angie, I’m hoping to get pet pics just like yours soon, as long as my mutt sits still long enough :-)
Rosina Lamberti
the reflections are fantastic
KevM replied
Thanks Rosina, thanks for the visit.
Emma Fitzgerald
Great photo. Looks fantastic.
KevM replied
Thanks Emma, I see you have some great macros, I’ll be sure to have a closer look soon.
tayforth
A really great shot as others have said. If you shot it in raw then try changing the white balance to tungsten as I find this sometimes gives a great look for night shots – the sky changes colour. Not sure if there is enough light in the sky to make a difference to this one but have a go and see what you think.
KevM replied
Thanks ‘tayforth’. I’ll certainly give that a try, I’ve had a quick look at your pics and I’m sure I can pick up plenty of tips from the standard of your landscapes. Thanks again.
tayforth
Don’t do yourself down, your shot is a cracker. I just discovered the whie balance thing by accident and it works a treat on the right image.

I meant “underestimate yourself” rather than “do yourself down” :-)
C J Lewis
Fabulous shot…love the way you have such defined reflections on the water…like a world within a world…excellent composition :)
KevM replied
Thanks, just happened to be a rare still night on the Tyne, right place, right time I think :-)
SHEDART
Great fantastic shot Kev, as i said to DAVID i wish i knew how to take photos like that
KevM replied
Thanks James, I wish I knew how to take them too :
). I took over a hundred shots that night and probably only got a half dozen usable images, but that’s why I like digital so much. I can snap away and try different techniques without worry, so much easier than painting, especially to your standard :)KevM replied
Oh, and massive thanks for favouriting it too!
newbeltane
looks futuristic. WOW! Great sot and POV is perfect.

KevM replied
Thanks for the feature Linda! :-)
Mleahy
That is incredible.
gabbielizzie
congradulations on your feature
KevM replied
Thanks, I hadn’t had my camera long when I shot this. I’m hoping my ‘eye’ for shots will improve over time but I’m not sure I’ll get another night like this on the Tyne. I’ts normally windy and raining :-)
John Vandeven
KevM
THANKS John. This really makes me want to get back out and try more night photography, although I doubt I’ll get the still conditions again :-)

Another Stunning capture Kev.
