Bridge Photography, Architectural of Tyne Bridge

Tyne Bridge from the Gateshead Hilton Client TLC PR

This photograph of the Tyne Bridge is one of the few examples of architectural photography shot 'on a whim'. It was photographed from the interior of the Gateshead Hilton Hotel whilst I was there covering a conference event. Whilst passing through the reception during the day I saw the potential for interesting photographic images and went back to the scene at dusk to capture the evening light.

The photograph shows the reflection of the bridge in the skimmer pool inside the hotel and the shape of the bridge is echoed in the curve of the pool. The photograph works best as a dusk shot as the colour of the sky is a rich blue which contrasts with the yellow of the twinkling lights.

This photograph won a merit in the Architectural photography section of the BIPP NW Regional awards 2009
