Beginnings of an idea... 4
Posted by drphoto (Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom) on 24 April 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.
Spring showed its head for a few days last week, some blue skies and fluffy white clouds passed us by anyway. This is such a rare sight that I went out and grabbed some pictures of local landmarks set against these nice skies.
Spring in Newcastle is more about heavy showers than anything else but at least the dramatic rainclouds are more interesting to look at than flat, grey winter skies! This is the newest of our bridges over the river Tyne -a pedestrian brisge called the millenium eye (yes, just like that big ferris wheel in London except this actually looks like an eye when it is reflected and was built first as far as I know).
It got me thinking of a project. I might do a photographic tour of my home town. This will be a lengthy project probably taking many months in order to get the best shots for each lcation (we have 6 bridges, two of which are allegedly world famous, and lots of cool modern architecture as well as old, listed buildings).
Is anybody interested in seeing these? If it sounds too dull let me know because it will be a big project to take on!
I welcome all constructive comments, compliments and criticisms.
I am here to learn. The fastest way for me to learn is for you to be really unforgiving and articulate in your criticism =D)
If you don't have time to comment don't forget to give a star rating as you pass through!
