Photography: Random Newcastle

21 June, 2010 (23:55) | Photography, Street, newcastle | By: Shepy

Sometimes when I go out shooting, I come back with only one or two images that I really like, so I don’t bother making a post. Well, I thought I would round up a couple from just such days, and post a bit of a mixed bag.

As always, comments and constructive criticism welcome [...]

A lovely sunny day, and the last game of the season for Newcastle United, my friend Paul and I decided it was too good a day to waste and not get out with the cameras. Spent an enjoyable few hours walking around the ground and the town in general taking pics, here are some of [...]

A friend and I headed down to see the Weegee exhibition (which is good, if somewhat small) currently on at Saltburn, and afterwards headed down to the pier to snap a few shots. Only really happy with two of them, so here they are (click to enlarge).

This is a site I’ve explored many times, probably one of the sites I have explored the most in fact, but yet it still manages to throw up new things when you go off the beaten track a little bit.  After seeing a pic by a friend of something I hadnt seen, i decided to [...]
