\r\n
\r\n
\r\nNewcastle Upon Tyne and the Gateshead area have seen a dramatic regeneration in recent years, particularly around the Quayside area bordering the River Tyne.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nReplacing the old warehouses and workshops are imaginatively designed upmarket shops and apartments commanding premium prices.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nAs a celebration of this rebirth, the Millennium Eye Bridge was commissioned. This amazing structure can be raised and lowered to allow vessels to pass giving the appearance of a \"Blinking Eye\"<\/i>.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nStretching towards the night sky, here it is shown in the raised position.

\r\nMade up of: The Liver Building, The Cunard Building and The Port of Liverpool Building, these fabulous buildings deserve a special place in any night portfolio.
\r\n

\r\nSpanning the Avon Gorge in the upmarket Clifton area of Bristol, this breathtaking structure has become the symbol of the City.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nEngineered by the great Isambard Kingdom Brunel it was finally opened to traffic in 1864.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nToday around 12,000 vehicles per day cross this marvel of Victorian engineering.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nFloodlit at night and with bulbs illuminating the towers and supports, this is one structure that is simply crying out to be photographed.

\r\n
\r\nThis affluent little commuter village is ideally located for routes to and from the Manchester conurbation.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nHow appropriate then to capture its image during the twilight hour, featuring weary commuters returning from the city.

\r\nThis magnificent castle is beautifully floodlit at night offering an ideal opportunity to capture its majestic form reflected in the ebbing tide.

\r\nA firework spectacular lights up the sky over Cholmondeley castle in Central Cheshire.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nThe castle grounds host a series of events throughout the summer and this image was taken at the annual Manchester Camerata firework concert held in July.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nThe capturing of fireworks in an image requires careful use of both timing and exposure. One must ensure that the trails of the projectiles are recorded.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nUse too long an exposure and the confusion of multiple bursts obliterating the sky may prove to be more of a distraction than attraction.

\r\n
\r\nCanada's largest city, is also Canada's most cosmopolitan city.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nThe architecture here is simply stunning and in keeping with most urbanised environments, has the most photographic potential as twilight approaches.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nHere the famous New City Hall in the city's Nathan Phillips Square is photographed on a weekday around 5pm, when the myriad of office lights are still burning brightly.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nThe image would not have the same impact had the building been in darkness.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nAn exposure of around 20 seconds has allowed the water cascading from the fountains to become an ethereal blur and has allowed the single bright floodlight to record as a dynamic starburst.

\r\nPerch Rock Lighthouse, also known by the names Black Rock and New Brighton Lighthouse, has been guarding the entrance to the River Mersey since 1830.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nThis granite structure rises 90 feet above the bedrock of Liverpool Bay, standing at the very northeastern corner of the Wirral Peninsular.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nFinally decommissioned for the use of shipping in 1973, the lighthouse has been refurbished in recent years and once more shines a beam of light across the bay, more as a tourist attraction than for the use of today's modern seafarers.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nLow tide is the best time to record the structure, where the rock pools left by the ebbing tide provide an ideal foreground to record its fabulous reflection.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nAlthough there is no substitute for meticulously researching a location before a shoot, luck is also an indispensable element of photography and this was the case for this image.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nThe weather enroute to Perch Rock was not looking too promising with a grey layer of cloud filling the horizon. However, just discernable below this was a gap of clear light.
\r\nIt was this break that produced the stunning trickle of red below the cloud line. Then as night fell the cloud broke up and vanished.

\r\n
\r\n
\r\nThis marvel of engineering is a perfect subject for night time photography.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nThe use of a wide angle lens has ensured that its floodlit steel arch stretches towards a vanishing point in the distance, creating a dynamic composition with the use of 'Converging Verticals<\/i>.'
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nUsing such a dramatic perspective with a dominant subject like this can be a very powerful tool when used correctly.
