Tyne to Choose

Forgive the first of possibly several bad puns heading your way as I share more shots from our Newcastle jaunt last week.

This time - 3 very similar shots taken from millennium bridge looking towards Tyne Bridge.

I can not decide which one I prefer but am leaning towards the 3rd one as it is a little different. I would welcome your opinions.

For those interested - all taken on the K5IIs and Sigma 10-20 mounted on a tripod using a remote.

1. F/4.5 - 2 seconds
2. F/4 - 3 seconds
3. F/4 - 10 seconds

All at ISO 320

Perhaps an unusual choice of settings for this sort of shot - primarily down to a lack of experience of night photography on my part

No matter how many lenses I have owned - I have always needed just one more

Very nice Carl, I prefer #2 with the variety of colours on the bridge. On #3 the "red/yellow" light at right is a bit of a distraction.

I'd go for three because of the brighter look and symmetry.

I agree and I can't make my mind up if it needs straightening or if it's an optical illusion from the buildings on the right

Any better with the red/yellow light removed? Have also slightly adjusted the horizon but it was virtually spot on.

Better switched off I think because of the shape of the millennium bridge the horizon could look a little off or not to each individual. Like the "icy" look of the river too

IMO No4 works best for the background, but looses out in the colours of the millennium bridge where No1 is best.
Taking everything together No2 gives the best compromise between the two!
