Views down the River Tyne

I used to live in Newcastle [England, for those of you outside the U.K.] 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:

All pretty impressive! especially 2, 4, 5!

heh, I used to live in Newcastle too....familiar with all those locations too

well taken photos!

Wow - I'm impressed. Great shots all around!!

Yep, great shots indeed. Nicely done!

A very nice set, my faves are 23and 4.I'm from South Shields but live out of the area now and I am going there in two weeks, you've inspired me to go myself (again) if the weather is good. Thanks for posting.

Thanks a lot guys!

I also shot a panorama at night from the Millennium Bridge, but it took several attempts to stitch it correctly. Here you go:

great set. The first two are stand out though. Thanks for sharing.

exif says 15mm - what lens did you use for these photos?

Yep 15mm indeed, the wide end of my 15-85 IS USM.

Stunning
