The Swing Bridge (foreground) is built on the site of a series of earlier wooden and stone bridges. Although it is reputed to be the site of a Roman crossing, the earliest record of a bridge here is 1250. The Swing Bridge opened in 1876 and was designed and paid for by the industrialist William Armstrong. The bridge can rotate through 360 degrees and Armstrong's original mechanism is still used to open and close the bridge today.
The High Level Bridge (background) is a dual rail and road bridge across the Tyne designed by Robert Stephenson to link the developing English railway network to Scotland. The bridge is built on five piers of locally quarried stone, each 15m thick and 5m wide, supporting cast iron sections; the upper level of the railway bridge stands 37 m above the Tyne's high water mark. The rail bridge was opened in 1849 by Queen Victoria, and the road bridge was opened in 1850.

It turns out I had a dodgy camera on my drone! I was a tad bit disappointed with the image quality when I first got it but put this down to me being used to the sharpness of the 5D and L lenses. I began to wonder I had a duff when when other people were experiencing concerns on DJI's forum too. I sent some RAW files to DJI and they confirmed the camera was faulty, anyway, I got a replacement drone and image sharpness is loads better.
Now I have to re shoot the lock shots I took over the past few weeks, this being the first. The colours are also loads better from the Phantom so I've decided not to process in mono!
We have had so very little bright light or blue skies lately. I go out to take pictures and come back uninspired but feeling fresh. This is an image I took last week when sunlight was peeking through the bush where we were hiking. Usually I am looking for distinct patterns in the trees for my composition. However, this time I was drawn to the network of branches and how tightly they were integrated with each other. Often we see forests with trees replanted in rows. This is about as untamed as you can get with a forest. And the light was just enough to make it interesting. On the dull days, I am glad for my network of connections who share their images and keep me inspired for the next photo opportunity.
