Kimberley Cutting bridge

I drove in to nearby Kimberley today for a shoot. There's a grade-II listed building next to the motorway that I was interested in shooting, but I only took a few pictures before the farmer who owns the land closed the gate. Disappointed, I drove further on and came across Kimberley Cutting Nature Reserve, which is a plot of grassland with a bridge overlooking.

I'd never heard about this place, so I was pleased that I came across it before the light began to fade. Bridges always make quite interesting subjects, although I don't think my set of photos is great. You can be judge of that if you visit my Flickr page ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/vikdaddy/).

The weather's meant to get noticeably warmer this week. I for one am happy about that for two reasons: first, because it's been bitingly cold for far too long; second, because it means I'm more likely to go on outdoor shoots!

As usual superb, but have come to expect that from you! Love these shots, and the ones you posted on flickr are equally beautiful. Great composition, technique, everything.

Ahhh! love! Rusty colors are my fav. Love the purples in there too. Gorgeous.

I love bridges and I still haven't been able to shoot any for my project. This is great!

It's an interesting structure and the detail of the brickwork is superb. It could be the lens, it could be the photographer, but I do get the impression that the 7D takes super clear shots.

Nice one... I took some pics at a viaduct last week but wasn't pleased with them... Hear you on the warmer weather. Please, please hurry up :-)

@jjsooner Hi Jennifer, no not HDR, just looks a little that way due to post-processing.

That is exactly the type of photo I really like!
