Photos From Around Newcastle (Taken 24th June 2010)

Very nice pictures! Home sweet home! 🙂

I live here in Newcastle, right on the edge of Leazes park between the centre of town, or TOON! Gorgeous place, lived in Newcastle all my life & a proud Geordie, great city, great people, (We stopped the jocks from spreading into the rest of England don’t you know. GEORDIES!) :diablo: great atmospfere! My girlfriend is from Dubai & she even thinks Newcastle is better than Dubai, I argue with her a little bit about it, but she always wins…..As usual. 😀

Well said that man.

I may now live in Yorkshire, but I’m a Gateshead lad at heart, and it’ll always be a part of me.

If you put them into a slideshow it’ll look like a hazy recollection of a drunken walk home!

Something I did on many an occasion walking back to my parents house after a night out in the Toon on a Friday!!!!!!

Nor has your country! :diablo:

Ahh!! ..what dyer meam ‘my country’ ..i’m a bloody Geordie gadgie

or the underground tunnels which the do tours of 😀

Thanks all 🙂

Cloud9 – I personally think that the theatre royal, river tyne (quayside) with it’s bridges, the baltic, the sage music centre, architectural buidlings in the city centre.

What’s that thing that looks like an elephant’s trunk ?

Makes The Angel of The North look quite interesting now!:D:diablo:

Nice shots heslop, what appealing features, if any, does Newcastle have for anyone that has never visited before but might consider a day trip!?

It hasn’t changed since the fifties :eek::rolleyes:

Nice pictures and Newcastle has changed a bit since I was there regularly about 10 years ago.:)

Nice angles and techniques on there matey.
Yes, too many Zoomers. I personally think that zoomers only work where one doesn’t “Need” to see the stuff which is blurred. Example, on the architecture or River shots, the scene invites the viewer to see a picture if you get my drift – so the zoom is off-putting. The close up of the stoneworks however works wonderfully.
You can also create this exact effect thumpingly easily in Photoshop, and once you get good at it (Practice feathering the edges etc.) then one cannot tell the difference.
Keep up the messin around, because that’s how great shots happen….and learning points sink in.

I’ve been off forum for a while, restoring 42 old family photo’s, some from 1928! I managed to get a 2×1.5″ photo from 1931, photographed it (Far superior to scanning IMO), “Upped it” with genuine fractals, took out every spot/scratch etc., damage repaired, shadows darkened (A sharpening trick) plus lots more.
It took 9.5 hours, but it prints at A3 with totally acceptable results. Average “Repair” time was 3 hours.
Then printed in B&W – which is an art in itself, even with a print profile calibrated to the paper I use. I ended up changing the gamma to 1.5 to get something near Black Blacks and White Whites. Not quite perfik, but OK.

Thanks =]

Very nice selection of photos here Mate!!

Keep up the great work your doing really well Dude!!!

😀

Could be so. I’ve got like 400 other photos which are all “normal” ones.

If you put them into a slideshow it’ll look like a hazy recollection of a drunken walk home!

Thanks all!

BumbleBee – It’s some weird “contemporary art” sculpture thing …

Interesting 🙂

Haha thanks Paul … yeah I kinda got carried away with zoom bursts … but I find them so fun 😮

🙂

I’ve used a technique I learned on reading a post of PMN’s post in the past, so a few photos in that style are in here.

Don’t listen to him, Robbie. He’s clueless!

Some interesting and nice compositions there. Possibly a couple too few zoom bursts but they’re still interesting! I particularly like the way you’ve changed the camera angle to create different effects, whoever said horizons always had to be straight was lying!

Nice work, keep ’em coming! 🙂
