Looking Up Around Newcastle

These are just some random pictures from a small College project I did last year, where I had to use an usual view point to take some interesting pictures. These pictures were taken from a low view point, looking up at the subject of the picture and were taken around my home town; Newcastle. Since I have the half-term week off, I'm hoping to do another shoot like this in Newcastle.

Fiona; Lara Croft

Once again, I owe Fiona a big thank you for modeling for me. This time she being a iconic video-game character; Lara Croft. Fiona is ready to kick some ass, although we had to improvise some guns I think she looks great and I'm really pleased with some of the pictures from this shoot and hope to do a location shoot in the near future.

Edinburgh Continued

These are some more pictures from my trip to Edinburgh, which I've just edited in College and I'm quite pleased with some of the pictures I've taken and want to visit Edinburgh again. But I'm planning on visiting York or Alnwick next week so that's a start.

Edinburgh

These are some pictures I've just round to editing from my shoot to Edinburgh late last yea. I love Edinburgh it has the feel of a great city, but is completely different from Newcastle and Sunderland, so to me it feels like a whole new world, or at least a different country.

i'd love to spend time photographing Edinburgh in all its glory. I visited the city before Christmas to visit a few museums and galleries for College but we spent most of our time wandering around this fairground we found along the high-street. Unfortunately I've only just got round to editing and uploading these pictures so I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed shooting them.

Fellow Photographers

I'm studying an Extended Diploma in Photography at the moment, and part of the course is to learn how photographers promote themselves in the digital age so I've got some links from some other photographers on my course. Everyone on my course is producing great work and there sites and blogs are well worth checking out.

Craig; Superman Cosplay

Once again my mate Craig takes on the part of Superman/Clark Kent, this time he swaps his costume for an S-Man t-shirt, white collared shirt, black waistcoat and red tie (I wish I'd remembered the glasses, they would've been a nice touch). These are the first few pictures from this shoot, which I'm a bit skeptical about but I did get some good pictures of the Man of Steel.

Swing Bridge

This is a photo of the Swing Bridge crossing the River Tyne. I think the Swing is a beautiful bridge and piece of engineering built and installed by Lord Armstrong, it spans the River Tyne and can swing on a centre axis powered by hydraulic pumps to allow large river traffic to continue up/down stream. The bridge is a common sight in Newcastle and is one of the seven bridges that are closely associated with the city and the river. I took this picture using a FujiFilm FinePix S3400, Aperture; f/8, Shutter Speed; 1/140, ISO; 200 and White Balance; Sunlight.
