Tyne Bridge Dawn Card. A square Greeting Card with a colour photograph of Tyne Bridge at Dawn. This photograph was taken, stood on the Gateshead Millennium Bridge walkway. Looking down the River Tyne, to Tyne Bridge. The High Level Bridge can be seen below Tyne Bridge and the Swing Bridge can be seen closer to the river. While it looks like a straightforward photograph to take, getting the angle right and avoiding the metal support cords on the Gateshead Millennium Bridge, showing in the sky is a bit tricky. The other issue taking a dawn photograph on the Millennium Bridge is that you need to use a tripod, due to needing a long exposure rather than increasing the iso on the camera. A long exposure gives much better image quality and also softens the water, which gives a much clearer reflection of the lights in the River Tyne. Now you would think at 6am, this would be easy, however there was quite a few runners out on the quayside and when somebody runs or cycles oner the bridge, they cause the bridge to vibrate, preventing you from getting a sharp photograph. Things are never as easy as you think they are going to be.
The warm blue tone to this photograph comes from the fact that the sun has not quite risen, so that the sky colour has not warmed up yet. There is also a lot of warm artificial street lighting on the bridges, these can be seen casting long reflections in the River Tyne and on the towers at both ends of the Tyne Bridge.
The size of the Tyne Bridge Dawn Card, is 148x148mm. Each card comes with a white envelope and is cello bagged. The Greeting Card is left blank inside, for your own message. Text on the front of the card reads ‘Tyne Bridge’
