Gateshead Quays
-
Spend one Wednesday back in cold November in the beutiful city of Newcastle/Gatehead. Spent most of my time down on the riverside/Gatehead Quays.
Cheers for looking,
Matt.
Wow. Stunning shots.
Some of the best Ive seen on here in a while. in my humble opinion anyway!
The processing on the first is spot on. Really well done.
Third is my second favourite.
The rest are just consitently good.
Cant say much to fault!
#1 Suggest a bit of rotation
#2 I’d go for a central level point of view, others wouldn’t!
#3 Rats!! There isn’t a straight line in the place for me to be picky with! Foiled again.
#5 I looove the diverging “perpendiculars.”Really like #1. Love #5. The stairs is too uneven for me. Can’t make up my mind about #3 .. I either love it or hate it ???
YAY – Gotta love this city! Not that I’m biased, being from Newcastle, or anything… lol
I really miss the architecture there – soooo many great photo locations.
#1 love the processing. needs some rotation, though.
#2 just doesn’t leap off the screen at me, but i have no idea why. maybe an unclear main focal point?
#3 love it love it love it
#4 shame there’s no colour in the sky. I reckon with a little post processing, this shot could have real punch.
#5 again, shame about the sky. Personally I’d correct the distortion too, but some people may prefer it like this!
#6 really interesting processing – love the high contrast
#7 similar to number 2 for me really – i feel I should like it, but no real focal point makes me a little unsure…Hope the comments help! It’s rare for me to comment on a 7 image post, so feel yourself sprinkled with the geordie love :D

Pretty much agree with what Tim says… really lovely images – but three….. *sigh* thats like chocolate .. smooth, dark, rich and YUM…

this really makes me miss home!!!
I was involved with the development of the flour mills, but then left the job i was in and never actualy got to see if finished
My fave would be number 1
I am not keen on the distortion in No.5 although it does make the building stand out
Great set of shots
3, 4, & 7 for me
No 3 seems to be the order of the day great conversion love the shadow , highlights and the contours.

Thanks for the all the feedback. Really enjoyed shooting Gatehdead keys. looking back, perhaps the 10mm end of my 10-20mm Sigma isn’t the wisist move! Looking forward to reshooting/revisiting in the summer when its abit warmer!
Again, Thanks for the feedback,
Matt.
Three and seven for me, in equal measure. Looks like a brilliant
location to visit and photograph. One of these days…Rob.

its really cheap to get there too as ryanair flys there, i just did a quick look at flights 1 euro each way plus taxes etc
and theres a great hotel right on the quayside which is not expensive either
and the nightlife, well you would be in for a huge suprise temple bar looks like a tea party in comparison

That lens is my new love, I adore it :)

Stunning set of images… second one isnt as strong as the others.. third and fifth are superb… lovely conversions too..!

Good set of pictures,
all really well processed too-
Rather a lot of them to go into any detail,
though the tilts evident in all of them
would suggest that that is a style you’re going for-particularly like the colouring in the first one-
