Location, location, location, a photo from Tyne and Wear, England

Photographer's Note

Few uploads ago I have presented here a photo of Tynemouth Priory (click here to see it). In the note underneath it I wrote that I liked the place so much that I intend to come back there again soon. I did it last Sunday and I have a feeling that it was not my last visit to Tynemouth.

Regarding the title: If you look at my previous photo from Tynemouth, and/or on the map, you will realize how amazing is the location of these charming ruins. I have found a POV from where you could include more of the sea in the background but then some ugly buildings are impossible to hide. In this photo the ugly modern buildings are not seen anymore but not much is left from the sea either, although you can spot it on both sides of the ruins.

Hi Mariusz,i seen the previous post and i seen the useful maps too,and i think that you have raison,this is truly an unique and beautiful place to watch and a paradise for the photographers,remind me a bit the mexican city of Tulum,builth by the Maya many many years ago close to sea.A very useful post and a different point of view to watch the beautiful ruins in this perfect light.Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Witaj Mariusz,
fascinating the view as the presentation of the well lighted ruins with the view of the bacdrop sea to complete perfect the whole scenery.Excellent the light and the colour management of the scene with the creative perspective and the brilliant light of the day to
enhance the beauty and the details of the photo.

Hi Mariusz,
Excllent photo with the good light on thes eruins, great depth effect with the lines on the FG.

PaulVDV (62892) 2014-11-11 11:22

Hello Mariusz,
For those who don't know the place, the ugly buildings aren't visible while the sea is at the extreme left and right and also through the windows of the ruins.
So even without the title, the first thing I thought looking at the picture was 'what a splendid location on that peninsula'.
You also enjoyed sunny weather. The warm stone colour looks wonderful between the blue sky and the green grassland.
I'm surprised that there aren't more visitors. This place looks most interesting.
Best regards, Paul

Ciao Mariusz, lovely composition with fascinating ruines, fantastic sky, wonderful natural colors and splendid light, very well done, my friend, ciao Silvio

macjake (98456) 2014-11-11 11:39

Hi Mariusz
in the previous photo you're talking about, we really do get to see the sense of dramatic impact with the beach and cliffs.

and you know how i feel about the colors of blue, green and yellow...it almost ALWAYS makes for a pleasing visual photograph...it just does.

too bad we can't take a time machine and see this place in its prime, especially with the location its at.

glad you went back here, and looking forward to your next shot...maybe at sunset?
cheers
Craig

Whenever I go back to Scotland, I take the ferry from Holland to New Castle.
I have seen this ruin from the boat, both sailing up the Tyne in the early morning, and sailing down the Tyne in the afternoon.
Thanks to this beautiful photo I now know what this ruin looks like on land.

Thanks for this lovely image, Mariusz.
Regards
Edward

Ciao Mariusz
bello l'effetto del grandangolo su queste rovine, bello anche il contrasto tra i tre colori che compongono la foto.
Saluti

HI Mariusz,
This is an amazing location, and I remember thinking WOW on the last upload you posted from here. Its a real treat to see this closer view of these wonderful old ruins, which the sun has lit to perfection for your capture. Nice job in hiding the new buildings too, this looks very old and not a hint of modern world to intrude on it.
cheers
Noel

annjackman (23019) 2014-11-13 2:47

Hello Mariusz,
Excellent use of a wide-angle lens which has accentuated the drama of the ruin. The light has picked out some very nice colour.
Kind Regards, Ann

jhm (211736) 2014-11-13 3:16

Hello Mariusz,

You choose a very well angle, this gives a wonderful depth and perspective picture with the ruin in background.
Excellent compilation, made in high quality.
Very nice presentation, technical very well
Nice done, TFS.

Have a nice day,
John.

siolaw (38294) 2014-11-13 3:31

Hi Mariusz
In the previous post the buildings dont look too ugly, but i can imagine that in a view of the ruins they would be a disturbance... so you did well to hide them.. I do the same sometimes to hide cars or electric poles and wires!
The low sun gave long shadows that maximize the wide angle lens effect.
Nice
Laurent

williewhistler (16606) 2014-11-13 6:10

Hello Mariusz,
personally I always enjoy a little bit more a picture that has no unwanted intrusions,so thank you for making the extra effort to find this fine view point at just the right time of day.
The warm light has illuminated most of the old ruins without causing loss of detail in the shadow areas.
With a fine perspective and excellent clarity it`s a fine photograph that`s a pleasure to view.
Best regards Les.

adramad (72978) 2014-11-13 7:54

Hello Mariusz.
A perfect POV, to show the full range of these splendid ruins, which show that in the past, this must have been a proud and rich abbey.
Wonderful color and brightness.
Excellent composition and sharpness.
Have a nice day.
Best wishes.
Luis.

Ująłeś te ruiny tak jakby pozowały, a światłem i cieniem podkreślasz trójwymiarowość, super

Czesc,
interesujace stare ruiny "zaliczyles". Fajne ujcie. Podoba mi sie kontrast i kolory. Notka tez ok. Dobra robota.
Milego wieczoru.

gervaso (28177) 2014-11-13 14:16

Hello, Mariusz!

Another great view of this incredible place, captured with beautiful saturated colors and a very good perspective! Wonderful composition! Very well done!

abmdsudi (95869) 2014-11-13 22:25

Hi Mariusz
This place and the ruins have fascinated me, i think of what it was like in its heyday and all the people over time that have used this place, what they would have been wearing, what they would be doing. I love the way you've given the timeless stones lots of headroom with equally wonderful green foreground. Love the subtle clarity, colour combination and the immaculate detail throughout. Of course the long shadows have increased the sense of depth greatly and this shot summed up perfectly, supported by an extremely informative and well written foreword which makes the whole piece real good indeed. Congrats
Best regards

Gigidusud (21679) 2014-11-14 13:19

Hello Mariusz,
Splendid place with beautiful ruins and nice golden light. Amazing depth, great effect. I like it!
Have a nice week-end.
Gigi

Cricri (176) 2014-11-15 4:48

Hi Mariusz
Une vue plus rapprocher des ruines, un temps qui s'appropriait a prendre ces ruines en images, la lumière et les couleurs sont belles, très belle présentation
Belle journée
cricri

nikkitta (17070) 2014-11-15 10:27

Hola Mariusz, as I can t see the horrible modern buildings due to your clever POV, I enjoy the view of the ruins (like to see some sky across them), so close to the sea, a true attractive location

Like also the long shadows, late evening seems to be
Good work, regards
Maria

willperrett (14215) 2014-11-18 12:07

Hello Mariusz

The weather was kind, and it's enabled you to give us a lovely image of these famous ruins. Your very wide angle lens has interestingly exaggerated the perspective. This coastline, from Berwick south, well into Yorkshire, has a wealth of history and photogenic ruins to prove it. Have you been further north to Lindisfarne, for instance?

Kind regards

Will

serp2000 (47063) 2014-11-19 10:02

Hi,Mariusz,
I like this optical effect of lens 10-20 mm. Fine DoF, excellent exposure, I also like these almost summer colors and long shadows. Very picturesque ruins indeed.
Best wishes,
Serghei

adores (46979) 2014-11-23 13:18

Hi Mariusz!
I can understand very well why you keep wanting to return, looks an incredible place, specially with no tourists around like we can see here. Great pov! Light and colours are also perfect, I like this soft light!

delpeoples (60342) 2014-12-08 20:07

Ciao dear Mariusz

Oh wow, I love this. You're right, the location is superb, but so is the subject matter. The character, the history and the atmosphere it evokes really is impressive. Superb colours, depth and contrasts. Great job, and thanks for your informative note.

Cheers
Lisa

Angshu (56760) 2014-12-31 21:35

Hello Mariusz
Indeed the ultra wide angle lens helps create a beauty! The warm light from the right enhances the bricks tones...the little bit of sea which peeps behind the Priory adds to the picture. Thanks to the link to your earlier picture which shows the place in another perspective.

Wish you and all your loved ones, especially the li'l one the very best for 2015

Best Regards
Angshu

aliabazari (22175) 2015-01-08 22:51

Hi Mariusz
Good view of the beautiful historic site. Exposure is good. I like wide-angle and angle box. Thanks for sharing

berek (50518) 2015-01-23 22:17

Dear Mariusz
beautiful the effect of the wide angle of these ruins, beautiful also the contrast between the three colors that make up the picture.

tatadalou (7459) 2015-02-01 5:54

Hello Mariusz,
Sure, this old castle has a great view over the sea ! The sun enlightens the ruin with a nice warm light. The POV gives an impression of space.

ikeharel (113345) 2016-07-16 0:57

Good morning Mariusz,
Fantastic perspective over the ancient ruins.
Low golden afternoon light gave an exquisite effect upon., and taken from a fairly good distance from the object, allow to appreciate the surrounding along in a whole view.
Impressive place, and no-less attractive photo.
Enjoy a nice weekend,
Ike
