Some photos from Newcastle

While I’m waiting for an opportunity to try out the ‘new’ 50mm f1.7 lens I bought on Ebay I thought I’d share some photos taken in Newcastle at the end of October last year.

It was actually a bright sunny day unlike many of the times I’ve been out and about taking photographs.

A view over the river to the Sage. There are four iconic bridges here, it’s just that I’m standing on one of them
The same view a couple of minutes later taken on my mobile

I like both of these photographs although I think the one taken on the mobile would look better if I reduced the colour saturation a little, the image processing in my mobile is a bit too enthusiastic at times and makes things appear much brighter than I remember.

Some old steps just beyond the Side Gallery

Newcastle is a great place for photographers with no end of things to take pictures of. These were just a few.

All photographs were taken with a Pentax P30t using Ilford Delta 400 and developed in DDX for the recommended time.
