We went below the bridge so that I could take photos of people fishing and the lake. My husband is my inspiration for this photo, as he asked to borrow my camera and took photos like this. I decided to give it a try myself and this is how mine turned out. This is a fairly long bridge and you can see the land and vegetation on the other side of the water. It creates a sort of optical illusion, as it looks like you could almost walk across the support beams, but trust me, they are far apart.
Thanks to eveyone for comments on my previous photos and on this one. I appreciate your comments and any suggestions. I will be trying to catch up on your photos.
My stomach gave a bit of a lurch when I looked at this photo, you have captured the height really well ! I agree with Richard would be interesting to see it in B/W.
Well done hubby for seeing the potential here. It's always a challenge to look at and see the familiar from a different point of view - you have certainly suceedded here. (I wish 365 had spell check!)
@richjane77 Thanks! It is great in black and white. I tryed it in black and white, sepia, and processed with extra vibrance, etc. I was a hard choice between the black and white but I decided to go with this natural one. I plan to go back and take another pic with different lighting and maybe different position.
@janek My husband has a really good eye for photography and takes good photos. I am trying to talk him into joining 365, we are looking at cameras to find one for him.
@happypat It does. When I drive across that bridge (every day) I have to be in an inside lane, can not stand the edge. It is a four lane going one way, there is a matching one going the other way. Not very good access to the underneath of the other side.
Really, really eye-catching, love the repetitive patterns and the kind of compression by using a longer lens. (I see from your EXIF info that it's 250mm)
@mimigd Thank you for your comment. There was compression for sure. I will be posting a photo sometime today of a side view of the same bridge and you will be able to see the length of it over the water. I went back today to take more photos of the bridge and of people fishing.
@balkaj Thanks for the fav! Yes, I can see the old film camera. LOL. If you look at the next day's pic, you will see the side view of the bridge and it is a fairly long bridge.
Fav!
It reminds me of this old film camera i have that when i look inside it looks like this haha
