This was the day that my sister in law lost her first battle with breast cancer...chemotherapy and hair. She held up really well, but I still see the

Location

This photo was taken as I was walking on the John Roebling bridge that crosses the Ohio River in Cincinnati Ohio. I noticed as I neared the end of the bridge that one of the beautiful mirrored office buildings had captured the bridge's image.

Time

Late afternoon...best time of day for lighting...I love how everything seems to soften.

Lighting

The golden reflection coming from the building was the perfect backdrop for the rust in the bridge...and the colors in the flags just popped.

Equipment

Just me and my Nikon Coolpix P80. No special equipment.

Inspiration

I was surprised to see the bridge looking back at me from the building !

Editing

Just color adjustment and careful cropping .

In my camera bag

Please don't laugh...I have no bag. I am a true amateur - and a beginner. My bag, if I had to say, is just my ability to notice what is going on around me, get the "right eye" on it and then let the camera do what it knows how to do.

Feedback

Don't be intimidated by anyone who passes you on a big bridge and is carrying a bulging photo bag. He may have all of the equipment but not necessarily the heart it takes to capture a beautiful photo.
