A three minute exposure, ND filters, focus point adjustments and a load of other stuff in the camera and no use of photoshop to get the exact exposure matched to the bridges opening. Never seen this done on the bridge before so im well happy.
When I was younger I used to drink down their on occasion and it was a very dodgy area, filthy and very rough. Amazing place now The Baltic modern art gallery and lots of other nice places. The "Geordies" locals are very friendly but really like to party. Great place.
