The Queen Elizabeth 2 photos… (available to purchase)

As promised, here are some more photographs of the QE2 on her farewell trip (before sailing to Dubai to become a hotel) which I took on the South Shields side of the River Tyne.

This shot was taken using my Canon telephoto lens from a rather secluded spot (I say secluded but by the look of things this place is very popular among fly tippers) behind a disused warehouse. I have to admit I’m very pleased with this shot which, incidentally, is pretty unique as I seemed to be the only person exploring in that area for good vantage points. So, its quite unlikely you will find a photo even remotely similar in that the photo is taken at a perpendicular angle to the ship.

I captured this shot from the Shields ferry entrance ramp, again using my Canon Telephoto lens. This is more of your ‘classic’ composition of a ship and most likely my favourite.

This shot is my pride and joy. Taken from the midway point between the Customs House and the Shields Ferry landing (trusty telephoto lens again) at around 8pm, I used a long exposure of 13 seconds to nail this shot. I shoot all my work in RAW mode to give myself more creative control although for this shot, I didn’t really need it having merely converted to black and white with a little dodging and burning to emphasise the detail.
