Carro Bridge, Sans Naked Woman

[OeterB]

Well, I've been in and around here for ages. Mainly been sticking to the General Discussion forum, and only ever posting in the DPS Assignments (missed the last couple --- been a tad busy). But I took this photo the other night, and had to share it! Hope you like!

I recently saw some photos of a local photographer who used a model, swinging nude off one of the light poles on a bridge in Carrington, as the focus. Carrington has a bad name in Newcastle; probably not rightfully so. It's run down, sure. But the people are friendly, and there's definitely not as much crime as people make out. But this bridge is definitely a standout feature of the suburb. So, I thought I'd take a crack at shooting it:



Two images blended together ---
Camera: Canon 450D. Canon 50mm f/1.8 II

Image #1:
Aperture: f/8
Exposure: 10secs
Iso: 100

Image #2:
Aperture: f/16
Exposure: 20secs
Iso: 100

Use of the different aperture/shutter speeds was to get a different effect with the lights of both the light poles and the cars passing. The 20second exposure is the dominant photo in the blend.

This is a nice capture OeterB. Nice sky colour and great bursting light effect. I think you did a great job with this bridge. Nice work.

on my opinion, u put on the center the light stall. I would preffer to put it more to left, and make another perspective that running to right. otherwise a very nice capture. good lights
