Chasing Stars On An Abandoned Bridge
Posted By: Jim Radcliffe, 05-06-2017, 11:37 AM

This shot was taken on an abandoned bridge on Newcastle Highway in west Texas. I discovered this bridge one night on the way back from shooting the Milky Way at Fort Griffin, Texas. The photo is of a friend of mind shooting the Milky Way through the girders of the old bridge. I was walking back from my car and thought the shot of the bridge illuminated by his headlight with the Milky Way in all its glory would make a good photo.

The lens is a legacy lens from the 1980s: SMC Pentax-A f/2.8 28mm I bought the lens a fleamarket for $5.00. What a deal!

Camera used is the Pentax K-1. This was taken during my first outing with the camera. I was not using the Astrotracer feature.
