So chasing a sunset yesterday made me realise I took some shots for last year's October Photo A Day (one photo per day) which I then betterred for that day! So here they are belatedly - October is a great month for the light vs weather combo in the UK and plenty of scope too, am looking forward to it again this year. This is the abandoned Millenium Mills near the Excel Centre in London Docklands - with what was then my new 70d. It's derelict and has been for a while, some others have taken some great shots of the inside so worth checking them out on Flickr.
Gateshead Millenium Bridge
Opened in June 2001, the tilting foot and cycle bridge is much admired for its elegance and engineering solution to allow ships to pass under it. Each opening and closing takes 4 and half minutes. Bridgel ighting is white on weekdays, and in colour at weekends.

I think I had to climb into some bushes to get the angle I wanted for this shot (very careful not to trample anything tho')
Adorned with a paint scheme of early morning light, the Year 2000 CF-18 Millennium aircraft features the arrival of a new era and heralds its dawning. In addition to the sun rising behind planet earth and a soaring peace dove leading the way, the colour scheme features the names of 2000 Cold Lake school children, who are truly the hope for the future. Designed by 4 Wing graphic artist Jim Belliveau and MCpl Greg Brown, this aircraft displays optimism for the new millennium.

The Gateshead Millenium bridge presents unique challenges in the form of composition and texture selection.
The area is devoid of soft lighting to supplement the loss of sky light and the river is often full of boats that some days dont add value to the frame :-)
One needs to be on toes to find the right spot for the composition and the light with the clouds must come right :-) but the end result is always a new learning and rewarding.
