Talking Ben Franklin Bridge...thoughts?

Hi everyone,
I'm new here (*waves*) and thought I would show you a recent photo I took of the Ben Franklin Bridge connecting Philly to Jersey.

I learned a new function on my camera (shutter control) and wanted to test it out. This was taken on Friday night with the 8 second speed. (slowest speed setting on my camera)

I love it. I have always wanted a pic like this but never knew how untill now.

Please keep in mind this was a test shot, and one of my first shots using the shutter speed settings. I can always go back and try again another night if you can give me some useful tips to make it an even better shot.

Thanks for looking!

For a test shot I think it's pretty good. I would have liked a little more of that foreground you have there (is that some sort of pier?), but overall the picture is sweet. My advice to you... go out and get a camera with a max shutter speed of more than 8 secs. I think you would find it even more fun than the one you have now.

yeah I was at the Penn's Landing pier in Philly.

I'm going to have to see if there are more shutter speed functions and see what I can come up with

Default Bridge Shot

Great shot! I found the item in the bottom left corner slightly distracting. But then everything else I had nothing to complain about.
