Got this one on the way home today. This is a local bridge that will open mid 2009. JIMBO

You have a capture of history in the making, in great light no less. Nice work Jimbo.

Very nice image of the Golden Ears Bridge Jim, now you'll have to match it with an image of the completed structure next year.

dazman · 12-16-2008, 12:13 AM

Nice one Jimbo. Like the placement and way you captured the sun. Would like to see the completed bridge, as Heinrich mentioned.

pop4 · 12-16-2008, 02:32 AM

That's a nice capture. Liking the silhouette, and the sun shining through there. Now if only you gave the photo a slight counter-clockwise rotation to level out the horizon...

I never seen that until you mentioned it. I will rotate the images 1-2 degrees to see if theat helps. I was on a bit of a downhill footing at the time. May chekc out a few others I shot to see how the horizon looks. JIM

JMR · 12-16-2008, 07:32 AM

I would call this image a semi-silhouette and it is fairly good. Careful with the horizon alterations. Sometimes it is just an illusion and there is nothing wrong with the horizon level. If you reduce your window and raise the horizon level until it touches the frame of the window, you will it is barely off. When pointing any lens up or down, the horizon tends to curve even if you line up the horizon line.

Very nice Jimbo! The sun is in right spot and the silhouette has quite a lot details. I agree with others that it will be nice to see it ready ... Maybe in similar light

jeffkpotter · 12-16-2008, 12:38 PM

That's perfect. They're just shy of closing the span and connecting the two parts of the bridge together and you caught it in perfect light.

roentarre · 12-16-2008, 01:55 PM

That sunburst glare really adds spark to the shot

axl · 12-16-2008, 04:00 PM

good shot Jimbo, few years later you'll be able to say, yeah, I remember when they built it...

Thansk JMR... I checked the the horizon is ok. Could be the wide angle lens I used for the shot. Always appreciate your comments ans suggestions. JIMBO
