[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Capturing motion, lights, and views that are invisible to the naked eye is my favorite photographic activity. Standing, sitting, lying…waiting for the camera to take its shot, over seconds, minutes, even hours…holding down the shutter cable on my canon, counting the seconds on my watch to get the precise moment. This is night photography and this is the rewarding results that patience can give.
The river, being tidal is not constantly flowing one direction and as I walked along the river that night, I realized that the water wasn’t moving at all. The moment must be between a turn of tide and the reflections were perfect, even over the amount of seconds. The moment was perfect. This bridge in Newcastle is often photographed, but by composing and cropping the shot, I feel this photograph is unique.

This is Night Photography

Hello Paul
The reflection is perfect. The shapes and the colours are reflected on the river perfectly. Sharpness and details are amazing. I like the atmosphere there.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Best regards
Denis!

while the reflection is indeed nice, i feel that this photo could be improved further. one thing you want to do is to use small aperture, like f/8 or smaller, to do night shots. this way you will get the details without overexposing it.

Outstanding and stunning! Creative! Great con trol over exposure! Very sharp for the scene!

Hi Paul

Excellent crisp shot. It's bright, but not blown, and the reflection is excellent as is the composition. Unique indeed!

Well done! Casper

Hi Paul,

Amazing shot...just "Perfect"...Patience seriously pays off....:-)

Bst Wishes,
Shanthi.

This photo makes me think of the open jaws of a shark.
Supperb!

Very nice shot, the reflection on water is perfect.

Hi Paul,
An excellent night work. The effect of the reflections of this bridge and its beautiful shapes in the water it is amazing, because they give the sensation of being floating and close the arch up to forming a big eye.
The graphism that you have obtained is very strong, and I like also the result of the long exposure, that offer us a nice light and a few golden magnificent tones.
It is a beautiful night photo, undoubtedly.
Best regards,
Josep

Hello Paul
Beautiful night shot without a doubt. The symmetry is excellent. Very well conceived & composed shot with excellent colours. I was wondering if it would have been better to use a smaller aperture for such a long exposure, the OE on the right & on the building could have been avoided that way IMO.

Angshu

Hi Paul,
going backwards in your gallery...what a sight...! You got a reward for your patience...Superb view, lovely colors, so many of them, it's like there are two different reflections, it's dreamy yet so modern and brilliant, I see what eyesuf means with his comment, I keep it for when I will be ready to try myself:-).

TFS, take care
Michèle

Quel reflet!! il forme un anneau parfait dans cette belle ambiance nocturne.

Hi PAul
Certainly a masterpeace that I have missed!... and I mean it. It looks like the jaws of a shark and the reflection is just great. Difficult to manage condition but well carried out. I would have probably messed a bit with the gamma to give an overall darker shade to it
